Why do people talk on the phone while at the cashier, banker, etc...

Question

It soooo rude. And you just annoy everyone around you. That is, if you're one of THOSE who I'm talking about.

Answer 1

rude  self centered  tell them let me in front of you so you can finish your phone call  or if your the cashier say to them can you step out of line to talk  others are waiting  i have heard cell phones ringing in church and the movie theater  how rude can you get  i think its a sign of insecurity also that you got to have this phone with you even at the restaurants

Answer 2

well i admit i do that too, but i know how to multitask while watching the cashier ring up my items and paying..i am not loud but i can see your feelings when that person is fumbling around everywhere.

Answer 3

Because those people are addicted to their phones, I swear.  A guy I used to work with talked on his non-stop... in line, while driving... heck he was on his phone while trying to carry on a conversation with me, more than once.

Answer 4

I think quite a few people are just rude to service people. Like at a store people seem to think the cashier should be thankful they're there since the customers pay the cashier's salary. People are jackasses when they think people owe them something.

Answer 5

I think that is soo rude and i will tell someone i need to call you back cause I'm shopping. it always annoys me when people do that when they are at the cash register.

Answer 6

Well people do it because they were already on the phone and being at the banker does not warrant and I will call you back.  I do it all the time.

Answer 7

I would like to know that too. I don't see why people do that kind of stuff. I always want to reach out for their phone and shut it off. But, well, that's just me.

Answer 8

they are thoughtless
