Because it is rude and frustrating for the clerk to have to play charades with the person they are trying to help because the phone is more important than saying what they need. I remember seeing one clerk skip the next person in line because they were on the phone and not paying attention. As soon as she realized she was skipped, the phone was put away immediately and she demanded to go next.Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688586956638235216.post-25925302027072354962015-06-19T19:39:22.453-05:002015-06-19T19:39:22.453-05:00Hello there.

One young woman who was ahead of me was on the phone for more than ten minutes. She was speaking so loud, I got to hear about everybody's business - who was getting married, who wasn't talking to whom, when so-and-so was going to pick up the kids, who was getting divorced or going to graduate. Guess she didn't realize (or more likely didn't care) that we could all hear her. Even the man behind the deli counter seemed to be annoyed.<br /><br /><a href="http://entrepreneurialgoddess.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Entrepreneurial Goddess</a>B~Natrellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800485465550884113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688586956638235216.post-26438676151056955892015-05-05T06:40:41.394-05:002015-05-05T06:40:41.394-05:00So you've been to Wal-Mart?

It was written back during his heyday,when his books had a certain magic. I'm not saying his books don't have magic now...they're just different than they were back then. I didn't realize it until I read the first chapter of Under the Dome and thought, "THIS is the Stephen King I grew up reading." Anyway, I made it about halfway through and just lost interest. That happens a lot with his books. They just start dragging somewhere around the middle.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688586956638235216.post-5555112056468235722015-04-24T23:00:45.769-05:002015-04-24T23:00:45.769-05:00That's an interesting premise when people live...That's an interesting premise when people live in a dome far away from the world.

I used to watch Star Trek day, noon and night but I've had to cut back, LOL. So I've lived in various bubbles throughout my lifetime. I will say working in Rehabilitation has taught me the virtue of patience. People who aren't as fully mobile, mentally or physically as ourselves need our compassion, understanding and help. So while people do live in bubbles for different reasons, for some coping mechanisms can be totally misunderstood.SpacerGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575342869714342370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4688586956638235216.post-71190899883396037242015-04-24T16:00:25.668-05:002015-04-24T16:00:25.668-05:00You know, I think I said almost those exact words ...You know, I think I said almost those exact words about drivers doing that in my Quantum Physics r.a.n.t. from a few days ago.
