I believe the answer is:

on strike

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'facing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'next delivery disrupted focus of workers in store' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'delivery' could be 'strike' (strike is a kind of delivery) and 'strike' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on strike that I've seen before include "Facing a ball" , "Taking industrial action" , "Involved in industrial action" , "Refusing to work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
