It's totally fine to talk in the store... Also why do you care about their kids. Just ask them to step aside if they're in your way. They're rude if they don't accommodate you then, but otherwise this seems fine??
ahhh hello, friend I haven't seen in a while, let us talk for about an hour about life while totally impeding our progress in our current work because our discussion is a lot more important and engaging than whatever work we were supposed to be doing.
