Spoiler alert—nobody gets any stars for this and I’m pretty much just whining, but the topic of the day is cell phones. Let them ring at church? No, no, never, never—uh-uh-uhhh! Seriously, leave them in your car, then you don’t even chance it. I’ve had them go off while leading prayer meetings, Bible studies, Sunday morning worship—even the contemplative Maundy Thursday service. Come on….
Talk on them while in the check out line? Same answer. It is totally rude—and while you maybe are thinking you are saving time by multitasking, you’re now increasing line-time for everyone behind you. And it’s rude. I’ve had random questions about impossible books to find, grumpy customers, people thinking they’re clever trying to use three coupons on the same book (really?!), and multiple cases of “after the fact” requests once the receipt is printed and you are supposed to be out the door, and I can smile for each of these cases. But customers on their cell phones—so so so hard to not spit on your book, almost impossible to keep smiling. And did I mention it’s rude?
Yeah, I know, I’m whining. And I’m probably a reflection of rude customers—just because you can talk anywhere (write anything) doesn’t mean you should. So be it.
By the way, we’re wrapping this shindig up in a week, if you can believe that. Christmas Eve is my last day! More over the weekend. Fa la la la lah, la la la lah.
