What's funny is that when I'm on the phone and it's my turn in line, I make the person on the phone wait until the cashier doesn't need me anymore. If you need to talk to me that badly, you'll either hang on or call back. Either way, you're going to allow me to respect the person in front of me who's helping me out. That cashier doesn't have to be nice and s/he can just as easily screw with your order or drag out the purchase.
I do enjoy engaging some one else in line in a conversation similar to the one that the obnoxious person is having with the same vocal inflections. I've gotten quite a few laughs and usually they hang up or pay attention.
