Do you find it to be rude when you're at a store and there are people in the checkout line chatting and sometimes even are arguing on their cell phones? See I am a cashier and so I have to deal with people chatting on their cell phones the entire time they are in line, Laughing gossiping/ ordering pizza, it's like are you serious?I mean I can understand a quick hello/goodbye, but its like come on, give it a break! And then those ear pieces people have now and they talk talk talk talk and talk some more, I always think how can you possibly have that much to talk about?I do understand it is safer for when your driving or whatever and cell phones are convienent, but good grief, stop talking and finish paying!..lol Just my opinion!-Lora

I find it very annoying. I hate it especially when you have to ask the people a question and they are still gabbing on the phone. You feel like taking the phone and hanging up on the people. At least if my I call my mom and she's a store checking out she'll tell me that and call me back when she gets outside. She won't stand there wasting everyone else's time.

I agree with you, I dont like being around cell phone people the one's that talk to them selves, then you realize they have something stuck in their ear. I carry a cell phone mostly use it like a watch. Lately everyone's on the cell phone.

I find it very rude when people talk on the phone when they are in line anywhere. It is extremely rude if they are beeing served and talk on the phone and hold up the entire line. cell phones should be banned in all lines if you ask me. People should be able to refrain from chatting for a few minutes a day.
