I won't put up with a salesclerk who does that. I politely tell him/ her to put the caller on hold until we finish. If he/she doesn't do that, I take my business elsewhere. When I worked in retail years ago we were taught that the customer in front of us always had precedence over someone on the phone. Somehow that seems to have gone by the wayside. > > I go days without even turning my mobile on. I don't even have one. I am totally intolerant of people who use them in inappropriate places. I've had people behind me in movie theaters answer their phones in the middle of a film and begin a conversation. A few days ago I was in a nice quiet restaurant intending to have a meal and listen to the music they were playing. Somebody in the next booth started making calls and talking to whoever he was calling very loudly. I had the waiter move us to another place since he would not shut up when asked. I think cell phone use in theaters, restaurants, and many other places should simply be banned since people are too damned stupid to know when it isn't appropriate.
