Identify some solutions that might work for this problem. Be as specific as you like, adapting course solutions so they fit the problem best.

Reevaluate whether stocking is the best match for John’s interests and consider a role with structured social interaction (e.g., bagging with clear rules, greeting, or assisted checkout tasks).
Use a preference–skill match approach by identifying jobs that allow social contact while still supporting task completion and performance expectations.
Teach context-appropriate social responding (when to talk vs. when to work) using clear cues, modeling, and rehearsal during shifts.
Consider a blended placement plan where John builds skills in stocking while gradually introducing customer-facing responsibilities if feasible.
