I've always tried to be polite with cell phone users when they come up to my register, which makes me pleasant to the point of lunacy. So when a young woman came up to my register yapping away on her cell phone, I just scanned her items quietly, not bothering to interrupt her with my usual greeting. I got perhaps halfway through her (small) purchase without saying a word.
Then she got off her phone, and I thought, "Hey, that's surprisingly polite." But no. She hung up, put her phone in her pocket, watched me scan two more items, and then pulled out her phone and called someone. And since the first lines of the conversation were, "Hey, where you at?" and, "Naw, I'm just shoppin'," and, "So you still wanna hang out on Thursday?" I think I can assume that said phone call could have waited the minute and a half that it would have taken me to finish the damn transaction and take her friggin money.
I hate cell phones. -_-
