Have you had a busy day? What are you doing tonight? etc.<br /><br />It has been interessting to watch this progress - of course at first the staff questions were strained, but as time went by the smiles have become genuine and customers interact back. It has been an interesting sales technique to watch as it progressed. People of course feel more comfortable and the burden of shopping is a little less.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678216576112327332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-70218524690615294022012-04-19T01:55:17.664-07:002012-04-19T01:55:17.664-07:00I usually only speak when spoken to, I hate to thi...I usually only speak when spoken to, I hate to think that I may bother someone.rchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390033530066470195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-70103985453758317322012-04-18T20:40:27.176-07:002012-04-18T20:40:27.176-07:00I don't mind them, but our youngest daughter w...I don't mind them, but our youngest daughter will have none of it.
