    Well you’re supposed to be at work. To your employer or to customers it might look like you’re distracted and unprofessional, which would reflect badly on the store.

      I (a customer) was in a deep chitchat with a bike mechanic about some other outdoor hobby in a big US outdoor gear chain. For like 30min :-) Then I chatted about learning foreign languages (!) with the casheer.

      I definitely found the experience memorable and have great association with the store’s brand!!!

        I don’t. I think chitchatting with your boyfriend the whole day and being forced to stand (not a thing where I live) seem fairly separate.
