Possibly fail thread material. Rude woman, using her phone and being shocked by checkout assistant's attitude.

What a cunt. Checkout girl is in the right. Would this woman have been impressed if checkout girl had been on the phone?

One of my LBSs has a policy - if your mobile rings or you approach the til on the hone you are told to fuck off and not come back.

It is fucking rude to chat on the phone whilst interacting with someone else, even a lowly* checkout operator.

It is also fucking annoying if you are waiting in a long queue to be served to have to wait much longer whilst some fucknut tries to pack their shopping and pay with one hand**.

• joke
  ** if they only have one hand this is understandable and forgiveable.
  

I never deal with anyone who's on the phone and I instruct my staff to follow suit. I got "mystery shopped" years ago and the person conducting said that I wasn't attentive to them and ignored them during their visit. When we checked the cameras, I had indeed ignored them because they were on the phone.

I still got my bonus.

^^What if you're ringing round about BB fitting prices?

Fail. Buy the tool and do it yourself...
