Sorry, I should have stated that if someone is really interested in what I'm doing, I'll chat with them, but the reaction I posted is for those employees who don't care and are asking in that bored tone of voice that means they're only doing it because they have to.

As a part-time employee of Jo-anns, I know they tell us to ask customers what they are making but I've never seen any salesperson at my store ask rudely or be rude at all with a customer. I usually don't ask the question unless I'm genuinely interested in what the customer is making, which I often am, unless it's obvious she is into quilting, since I have no interest in that. I see no reason for the customer to act rudely to me when I ask but sometimes they do anyhow. Curt, sarcastic comebacks are not called for in my opinion. Why do salespeople have to be treated as if they are just cogs in the corporate machine (even though I feel that way often)?
