Exactly. It's mind boggling to be standing there with your merchandise laid out at the cash register, with money or credit card in hand, after already waiting in line behind 6-8 people.....

....and the cashier seems to think it's more important to attend to "somebody" out there who's out kickin' tires by phone than to actually make a sale and collect money!
