      Maybe if they stop chatting with you, you’ll leave and be replaced by a more transactional and efficient customer.

      Reminds me of Kurt Vonneguts player piano where the only professions that couldn’t be replaced where barbers, bartender and the guys maintaining the machines that replaced everyone else
