I couldn’t find the right search terms to trigger an existing answer. I often
go to a store where I have somewhat of a regular relationship with one of
staff members. Sometimes they’re in the back, and I would like to ask if they
are available by name, but in a polite manner.

How would I ask “Excuse me, is Tanaka available/here?”
