salesfloor

Where customers browse

The salesfloor is the area of a retail store where merchandise is displayed and customers shop.

It excludes stockrooms, offices, and other back-of-house spaces.

Retail workers distinguish between being on the salesfloor helping customers and working in the back handling inventory.

Also spelled as two words: sales floor.
