Depends on the S type, really. Like an ESTJ will really not be terribly pleased with you for chatting during work....and will let you know....with dirty looks and probably a 'talk' or 2.

Just a couple of key things to remember about the different ways Ns and Ss communicate....
1. Metaphors usually don't fly. A direct explanation usually works better. This is because intuition is about connections, but sensing is about patterns.
2. For the same reason, talking about future possibilities and your dreams tend to be met with the S humoring you at the very least. Because sensors are so concrete, their thinking is either in the past - as in, what happened before will happen again....or in the present. SPs especially live very much in the now - even considering the future can be stressful for them. For an SJ, doing something now is enough for the future - I'm working and saving money, so tomorrow is taken care of.
3. I've found the best way to get an S interested is to relate the conversation directly to them or someone they care about. I'd do something like randomly ask what their favorite body of water is and why....they might be perplexed at first, but I'd insist. Then I would announce that this is how they view sex. (of course when the manager and customers aren't around lol). ^_^ ENFPs and random work well together....and stuff like that works surprisingly well to start conversations..
