Have you ever stopped going to a shop because of the chat from the shopkeeper/person on the till?

There’s a shop I stop off at every day on my way to work for my hula hoops and bottle of oasis. The shop keeper is constantly complaining about the traffic. That’s all he talks about. This six week holiday has just finished it for me. “Hello Franki, traffic was so nice this morning flew straight to the cash and carry and back no problems. Only 15 more days though then the kids are back and traffic’s back”. We have the same conversation every morning with the countdown of days. Yesterday I parked outside and I could hear him through the window of the car having the exact same conversation with another customer. I feel like such a dick and like I’m overreacting but I sat in my car for a minute psyching myself up to have this stupid conversation and then decided against it and just drove off like a coward lol.
