    Every butcher shop I go into seems to have at least one overly talkative butcher. I've also noticed that the louder butchers also tend to have a hint of arrogance to them. People in chemists and opticians are also overly polite.

    They have a meat cleaver in their hand - they can be as chatty as they like and no one is going to stop them.

    I work on a meat counter and I basically talk to customers because by speaking to each for, say 30 seconds, I can spend up to 15 minutes of my day not working!
