Having worked retail stores, you really underestimate how little time you have as any individual to get your shit done and also help customers. That gaggle may be them deciding how to make the store look right with only 4 people when normally it’d take 8.

If you want good customer service go somewhere they dont cut corners on staffing while paying the heroes that have to do 3 people’s jobs minimum wage.

Then take that gaggle to the back in a meeting room so that it's not visible to the customers.

Where does this exist? I'm free this weekend. I'll see about taking a visit to this magical fairy land you speak. /s Seriously though, what public facing retail store doesn't cut corners on staffing or any other aspect? I need to expand my list of stores not on the "disgusted with" list

Food co-ops and independent/small chain grocers. We are fortunate to have a good density of these in the Seattle area and PNW in general.

Maybe they don’t care about offending you? Just a thought.
