99% of retail is literally mindless busy work, so distractions are always welcome. The literal one exception is inventory week.
I dunno, for the last 15 or so years in my part, it's seemingly been industry standard to run on a skeleton staff.
And retail is still built around customer "satisfaction" before dusting off shelves, and no one gets overtime these days, so welcome distraction from actually having to work.
