I hate this kind of people that just won't shut up :blobweary:

@hideki I wonder what's the most polite way to tell them to sew up their mouth.

@gingermilk when you have a shop, like me, there's just not a good way to tell a customer to shut up, YOU have to shut up and feign interest in all the mundane babble they're making :blobweary:

@hideki @gingermilk that's when you start facing shelves, unpacking inventory, while laughing at their stories etc., if they get pissed that you're not giving them full attention I'd say something like "I wish I had the luxury to just chat all day, but work needs to be done, feel free to keep going"

that usually gives them a bit of self awareness, unless they're psychopaths then they'll rage (and leave hopefully)
@hideki @gingermilk I worked electronics retail for a few years and had to deal with both customers and co-workers that way lol
