Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

As someone who works in retail I have to say that people are really losing their manners when it comes to mobile phones. I have reached the point where I will refuse to serve a customer until they are off the phone. Its often difficult to ask if they need a bag, what kind of account for the card they're using etc etc when they are carrying on a conversation. You often feel rude for interrupting when you are actually trying to serve this person effectively.
People often dont say please, thankyou or even say a word to you or look you in the eye when they are their mobile. I dont think its too much to ask to end the call or finish your conversation before you come to the counter to pay. I don't do it to people serving me and I dont expect it to be done to me either.
These forums are good for getting things off your chest. Thanks Cafestudy, I feel better already!
