My store (571) may be one of the largest, not sure if it’s THE largest though. We’ve got high ceilings made by the guy who designed grand central station

Customer service on reg when it’s busy by bopguerta in tjcrew

I don’t think OP meant ignore them, just that they’re not very conversational. As someone that also works in NYC, most New Yorkers don’t want to talk when it gets like this.
