Gossiping at Business Premise.
If people will meet at your business premise, let them meet while queuing to buy.
When people make it a habit of meeting at your business premise for stories they chase away customers.
Think of people sharing stories and laughing uncontrollably at your business premise.
Such a group of people might make clients think they are the ones being laughed at, and they can decide not to come back at your business again.
They can develop a bad taste of your business which they can share with their friends who might also be your customers.
If you cannot be comfortable buying in a shop you find people gossiping, never think your customers will be comfortable finding the same at your business premise.
When a business premise is made a “meeting point of sharing destructive, meaningless and character assassination stories” customers who value privacy are scared away.
Have you ever thought why women with touchable cash avoid saloon businesses in their areas? Why, they go far towns for saloon services they can get in their residential areas? Why they pay a saloonist to visit them at their homes? It is because most saloons are meeting points of discussing people.
A business premise should have a placard written “IDLING IS NOT ALLOWED HERE.”
