Re: Quick Question
Ah my friend, you evidently haven't worked in the wonderful world of retail. There are plenty of tedious jobs to be done regardless of the task of serving customers, namely but not limited to:

Pricing
Stock taking
Preparing stock for the following week
Setting up store displays
and my personal favourite - Cleaning

As Gormo says there are also plenty of pointless tasks designed to make staff look busy. This sound management technique probably comes from the idea that idle hands are the devil's tools.

Cleaning!
Always with the cleaning. Always.. Even when the snow got so bad that the local bus company has stopped the buses, we still had to clean the shelves..There were no customers you see..
Cleaning..
