boomers easily.

they're the reason why retail workers have to awkwardly start conversations, hover around customers and try to meme up a sale in case a mystery shopper appears.

when I worked retail we were told to do that shit and fuss over the customer. in reality no one likes that shit besides boomers.

I don't understand why a simple greeting then if someone is looking a bit lost asking them if they needed help wasn't enough.

to me good customer service was and still is a simple
-hey/hi greeting (just to acknowledge I'm there and to be nice)
-did you need a hand with anything? oh just looking? no worries, just ask if you need some help.

that's it. if a shop assistant tries to talk to me anymore than that i just feel like they are trying to swindle me and makes me want to leave.

it's like boomers need someone to tell them what to buy and don't do any research themselves beforehand. it's like they love the whole being swindler sales tactic.

I really don't understand how someone can go and make somewhat big expensive purchases and not have a solid idea of what they want before hand.
