Since when does that count as work?

Some time ago the entire staff of Tartarus was soundly scolded for "chatting" while at work. We were told we could only talk about work things unless both people in the conversation were on break. Some people even got in trouble for talking about work. It was intensely insane. 

It was literally impossible to guess what might get us in trouble.

It would seem, though, that all of those rules have been tossed out the window. These days people sit around at all hours talking about anything from the "cute thing" their cat did yesterday, the awesome movie they just watched, to their plans for the weekend (all the way down to the meals they plan to cook/eat). Today, though, really took the cake. Today Zebra and Plague spent twenty minutes at the desk looking at and loudly discussing the Etsy shop Turtle just opened, all the while ignoring the patrons who were anxiously waiting for help.

This look may be permanently etched on our faces

To make matters worse, your friends Spoof and Speck recently got the Glare of Death from the Hutt when they took a few minutes at the desk to discuss plans for an upcoming event.
