@GrimmReality@beige.party "Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
Sounds like an actual nightmare shopper experience. I have walked out of stores for less.

@iaincollins@mastodon.social @GrimmReality@beige.party former red shirt here. The four foot rule isn't new, but strict compliance with it in practice is strongly discouraged by shift managers. They can't say not to do it, but I was on more than one occasion told to just never let myself get within four feet of a customer. I mean guest. Malicious compliance is fun!
