I dunno. Maybe that's just me....

I understand your upset, here. It's completely justifiable (I personally think cell phones are from the Devil, and do not use one). But if you turn that retail situation around, you'll get one of
my biggest telephone peeves.
I'll be standing in a check-out line two or three deep. It's finally my turn to make my purchase and one minute into the transaction, the cashier's phone rings. The cashier turns away, picks up the phone and has a nice long chat with the caller, while my hair self-ignites.
Hey dillweed! The person standing in front of you is your priority at this moment. I have been patiently waiting my turn, as have others. Screw your caller; if what they need to know takes more than 10 seconds, you can put their ass on hold and they can wait till every PAYING customer in front of you is taken care of.
ARRGH.
