Actully no, they only know how to do it if that all they are doing, and actully doing it. Without acting they will stick out like a sore thumb to security as no being customers if they try to do anything else. Becuase then they not behaving like they belong

You may note that I was specifically referring to them doing that while they were literally being a customer. Further, there's nothing in the Basic Set description to indicate that you'd need another skill in order to be covert. In fact, it's specifically mentioned that Observation is what you use in order to be covert.
