Step AWAY from my computer...

[Imogene]

Back at Chesterfield, for a short period, we had the Oasis (our stock computer) set up to look just like one of the registers, at the far end of the counter. I would, every so often, look up and see someone standing there, trying to look up a movie or some such.
I'd go over and shoo them away, and would, evrey so often, get the dreaded, "Why?"
"Well, because you're behind my counter, which is a security issue, second, that's not for the public to use."

Well there is always the quote from Babylon 5 when she caught Garibaldi at her computer:

Ivonava: Is there a reason you are at my workstation or to save time should I just break your hands off at the wrists?

I'll admit that at autozone i'll look over the counter but they have the monitor's set up so they can be seen without leaning over too far and i'm usually trying to make sure we're both on the same page as to what vehicle and part we're looking for. I wouldnt go behind the counter unless you paid me to though.

CAN'T THEY WAIT THEIR TURN!? I'M A TECH NOT A MAGICIAN

Magician here. Tell them to come see me if they want magic. I'm for hire.


As for leaning over the counter to look at a computer screen, the only time I look at staff computer screens when I am shopping is the book store or the auto parts store...and that is only when they turn it so I can look at it. See, it's this thing called common courtesy...which sadly seems to be very uncommon these days.

The computers where I work require an associate number and password to function so an SC wouldn't be able to do much with them, though I have had people leering over the counter trying to glance at my screen, I wish I had a yard stick I could smack their hands with. "Bad SC! stay back!"

Gah, they do that to mine, too. I have other people's info up too, jerk! My kingdom for a cattle prod!
