As a customer you've no doubt experienced businesses where employees hide. Perhaps they're directly in front of you but they avoid eye contact; pretending they're so busy with their computer screen, inventory, or co-worker conversation that they just don't see you.

When we know there are customers around we stop huddling with coworkers. Make ourselves visible. And proactively make eye contact so we are seen to be available. As for other tasks - better to do them during quieter times or behind the scenes.
