We all have that imaginary bubble or wall around ourselves to determine
how close a stranger or friend can approach us. Some people say it is as far as
your arms stretch out others only to the elbows and then depending what
cultural background you have it might be even closer or further away.
But I am
sure that the majority does not want someone literally in their face or just
bracing you. I think customers tend to forget that associates still have their
personal space at work. Yes, it might be even bigger there because we are
w-o-r-k-i-n-g. A verb many have neglected. Our area is more spread out and you cannot
tell me that you cannot see that I am working on arranging clothes neatly with
a four foot rack with clothes in plastic wrapping behind me. I really do not
know what you are thinking when I am sizing and organizing clothes. Sometimes
the clothing is still in the wrapping and you have the audacity to yank it out
and look at it.
Can’t you just wait another minute or two until I am done?
Would you like it if I came to your workplace and just scattered through your
papers and files? I bet not. And sometimes customers you really grind my gears
when you see that I am working in a spot you hardly ever check out and then you
think there is something new and lean all over trying to see, touch, smell
whatever I am putting out. Back off for a second and let me move or say
something, don’t just dive in and knock me to the side you Barbarian. Just wait
a minute, that is all I am asking for!
