Just take a look at this. :sleep:

A shopper was stunned when a checkout assistant refused to serve her - because she was on her mobile phone.Jo Clarke, 26, was in the queue at her local Sainsbury’s, in Crayford, south-east London, when the drama unfolded.The property manager said: 'I was standing at the foot of the till waiting to bag my shopping up, yet the lady on the checkout was just staring at me.*

    Good.

    She should learn some manners.

    Good, I would always avoid acknowledging customers on the phone, it would, after all, be rude to interrupt their conversation.

    Ohh, Ms Clarke was offered some vouchers and landed her picture in the paper - well done.

    For once the Daily Mail's best comments reflect my own opinion. I think I'm gonna die.

    My pet hate is people on their mobiles constantly. Well done to Sainsburys for doing this

    Does this mean we can just stand there with a pissed off look on our face when checkout girls are too busy chatting to each other to pay proper attention to you?

    Rude moaning woman gets free stuff for being rude and moaning.

    Poor checkout lady will have got it in the neck for that.

    Not a good result in my book.

    The silly mare didn't even have the courtesy to stop talking on the phone when her photo was being taken.

    Don't think chatting on the phone at the till will go down terribly well in Waitrose, where she's defecting to.

    You could, but it might be more effective to actually SAY something to them.

    Good on the person who refused to serve her. There's nothing ruder than customers ignorantly chatting on their phones whilst being served at shops etc.

    I thought it was the beginning of the revolution, then it wasn't.

    No hi-fving at the checkout, thank you.

    I wish that they would ban the use of them altogether in supermarkets. I get fed-up of the way people block the shelves while they have a telephone consultation on which soap powder to buy.

    And it's the height of bad manners to use a phone when someone is trying to serve you.

    Good. The stupid cow should've had the common courtesy to get off her phone once she was being served.

    Oh FFS when I go through a check out all I require of the person working on it is to put my items through the till and take my cash/card. None of that requires a conversation with the check out person.

    What a ridiculous and precious reaction from an incredibly rude check out operator. Sainsburys should either send her for some hardcore customer service training or just fire her for being unnecessarily obnoxious.

    'I don’t know what she was playing at. I couldn't believe how rude she was."

    :D Says the person yakking away on her phone while still expecting service!

    Yet it's okay for checkout assistants to look miserable most of time? Wouldn't that also be rude?
