We were already placing our orders before he even noticed. The person behind me was moving into line in front of him before he looked up. Yeah, I don’t have patience with people who don’t have the simple courtesy to pay attention to what they are doing. I wasn’t trying to teach him a lesson, I wanted to feed my workers and get back to work.

There's a reason that you're starting to see signs in Drs offices and govt offices that say that if you get on your phone, you won't be served.

THis is like the jackass that sits at a green light until the light turns yellow and then goes because they were doing anything other than "driving". The only problem is that person is in the way, so they'll get a quick toot of the horn assuming I can see through the rear window and see that their head is down.
