[QUOTE="SRL, post: 258210, member: 701"] That's for sure. :peaceful: What bugs me about the check-out lane (in addition to me not wanting to listen to your call home ;-)) is that it puts the importance of the electronic interaction ahead of the personal, face-to-face interaction. Several times I've seen people walk through the check-out while talking the entire time and never once acknowledging the check-out clerk. To me it just seems rude. Of course I think it's equally rude when the clerk spends the entire time talking on the phone when they're supposed to be checking me out. That's happened to me before. There's a sign up at the receptionist's desk of my allergist's office saying that they won't be assisted by the receptionist if they're talking on the phone. Receptionist told me it's become a problem. Time's are changing, that's for sure. This will probably all be the norm someday...I have visions of WALL-E...:happy: [/QUOTE]
