Alright so i’ve been working for a couple of retail stores now and understand the attitude of the workers towards customers at work and vice versa for the most part. however, as a customer when talking to a cashier or asking a worker for help, i’m not able to distinguish if the friendliness is from interest/[pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), or just work related friendly attitudes.

taterrr how is it that you maintain conversations from baristas at starbucks? they always seem busy and it’s hard to maintain a conversation especially over the counter.

i’ve tried cttm, but only getting short conversations. even when i try to transition.

don’t get me wrong, 9/10 of the times i’m actually shopping and had no intentions on getting hits from the specific targets, but what can i do when a cute one passes by 🙄

Hello Genesis!  
Your post is quite interesting to me. In fact, it’s a bit of time that I’m thinking about the same thing. Actually, beside A314, at least in my working environment, I find unlikely to use stuff like AMMO, TUTH or MX222 (by the way, anybody knows when it’ll be restocked?). Later I’m using some [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) and Instant Shine. I used for some times even Instant Honesty, but people were too much chatty and they bored me :-).

I hope this may help you!!!

See ya!

Franz

thanks runner! i’ve never had that much chattiness from many ppl because people general talk to me alot because i keep the conversations going with my friends, but only becuase my friends and i can talk about random stuff. with strangers, it feels kinda awkward when it goes silent even when i try to keep it going.

anyway, what i’m saying is even with nols i can’t seem to keep the flow moving. of course this is based on my conversational skills, so that probably is the problem. so the 2nd question is how do you guys keep the conversation going when you’re talking to a cashier or a barista. the biggest obstacle for me is the counter being in the way. it kinda signifies distance and makes it hard to build comfort or rapport.
