Don't they see we're busy and have more important things to do than see if we can find them a fitting ring or a battery for their remote?!
After several days of this I've become very short with those types of people and if they keep pushing I can get rude (although my father says I'm still nicer than he would be).
Today we had parked the trailer right in front of the door, so you could only get in and out by climbing over it and you have customers who actually do that!

Here in the States we civilians can buy a roll of yellow "CAUTION" tape. Is that available to you? A couple straps across the open doorway might deter all but the densest would-be customers.
Failing that, can you get some brightly colored duct tape? Put a few straps across the doorway with a hand printed sign saying "Cleaning crew only?"
Still, best of luck in the near and long terms!
