Annoyed much?

Okay, another rant. I just can't help myself.

Yesterday while in the checkout line at the grocery store, the woman ahead of me was talking on her cell phone. She was talking as she was unloading her groceries from the cart to the conveyer. She was talking while she was counting out her money ($125.00 worth of groceries... she was paying in cash.) And she continued talking on the phone while the cashier attempted to complete the transaction.

My oldest looked at me and said, "Mom, that woman is being rude. She's been talking on the phone this entire time." My 9 year old even thought it was inconsiderate!

When it was my turn, I asked the cashier, "Does that just burn you up?" And she said, "Yes! It's very rude. I'm just trying to do my job and some people can't get off the phone long enough to pay for their groceries!"

So, people... if you are one of those people who talk on the phone while you are checking out at a store, please... put the phone down. Of, you may have a 9 year old giving you the stink eye next time.

Next rant... texting while grocery shopping.

  1. I'm so glad you posted about this! I hope to raise my kids with technology etiquette. To me this situation is saying to the cashier "you're not important."
