Someone is upset about no distractions at work. 🤣
There are so many distractions at work. In this case, it's the customer asking stupid questions! Lol
Customers pay so you can get a check. Might want to consider that portion of the relationship.
The fun thing about retail is that not all "customers" are paying.
As well, paying doesn't give customers a right to a retail employee's time. And not every retail employee's job is to help customers.
So yeah, customers can be a distraction.
Missing my point. No customer=no business=no employees = No pay. Tada!
99% of retail is literally mindless busy work, so distractions are always welcome. The literal one exception is inventory week.
I dunno, for the last 15 or so years in my part, it's seemingly been industry standard to run on a skeleton staff.
