I agree and don't like those interruptions either.

But....as illustrated in various posts above, sometimes a customer has waited a long time while that customer is carrying on a detailed conversation with the store clerk, discussing everything personal and nothing business related. People who actually want to buy something shouldn't have to wait for a customer telling their forlorn life story, or gossip, to the store clerk/cashier.
