Many years ago I worked in retail (sporting goods, including firearms) before moving on with my career. There were a few people (I hesitate to call them customers) who would come in with no end of questions and consume inordinate amounts of my time (and other store staff), often while other customers were waiting for assistance. These tire-kickers rarely, if ever, actually bought anything. They were browsers and tire-kickers, not buyers.

While it was certainly not in the best interests of staff to be inattentive or rude to customers it didn't take long before those individuals became well known to me and those I worked with, and we took steps to to be busy serving others. If there weren't other customers to keep us busy we found ways to be busy - or just disappear.

I suspect Brent would prefer serving other customers.
