I work in a boutique in a mall, and see on average about 130 customers a day. This in itself isn't bad, the bad thing is that our entrance has a bell, wich both dings to signify the worker that a customers is infront If we are working in the back, and keeps track of our number of customers/sales.

Like pretty much every store, big or small, we have some milestones to reach in a month, and that % of sales is one. Depending if we reach it or not, we get bonus.

Now, I don't know if customers just have a sixth sense for it, but they just....always stop right in the middle of the bell. Fine, if they stay right there, too many dings will only make them count as one person, so That's fine. But the bell....is still ringing. Constantly. And it's the annoying one too, the kind you wouldn't even want as a doorbell.

Or, a family of like ten will step in our tiny shop, and be in and out of it for like 20 times, wich will affect us for the entire day.

No matter how kind you are to the customer, just ask them to step in a little bit more, there's a bell right above your head, you're playing a musical in the store, whatever else you can think off, they blow up at you.

We've had so many complaints now that our supervisor has forbidden us from even mentioning it.

It's just so frustrating because not only are our performances affected by it, but I genuinely don't understand why they make such a fuss about setting one more foot in the store. You can't even see anything from where you're standing ma'am??? Why did you yell at me that I don't know how to treat people? You're an adult act like one. Why is it such an inconvenience for you husband to not be in and out 80 times, we have a long hallway outside, he can get his daily steps there, he's stressing me out thinking I'm being bombarded by customers!

It's just so annoying and there's nothing I can do about it...
