I had the same issue in a neighborhood store and because it was a store I didn’t need to go to often, I said something to the manager and asked him not to say my name to the employee. Next time I went in, the employee brought it up and kept asking (in broken english) What, you want me to be like ice and not talk to people? I realized that he had no clue what the proper boundaries were so I never went into that store again. I hope though, that it changed his behavior towards my many other friends who experienced the same thing.
