Frankly I say Yes, I think talking on the mobile phone whilst being served is the height of rudeness and ignorant and that if you are made to wait because your phone call is more important then you wait.
What do you think?Do you think that Shops that refuse to serve customers while the customer is on the mobile phone?While I agree that a professional, like a doctor, lawyer, or business consultant, etc., may be within his rights to conduct his/her business in this way. I do not think that the checker at Walmart or the A*P should be considered in the same category. Checkers in a grocery store do not need to speak to me, generally. Take my order, ring it up, take my money and give me change. That is all they need to do.
I do not speak on my mobile phone in check-out lines, normally, but if I were on an emergency call, I think the Walmart personnel could manage to do the order without chit chat from me, and I don't think anyone would like the scene of trying to send a customer to the end of the line.
How do checkers deal with deaf mutes if every order has to hinge on them talking with you???????Do you think that Shops that refuse to serve customers while the customer is on the mobile phone?
I definitely see your point, and think there are places to ban cell phones. I also do not think you have the right to ban conversation in a public place, because it "offends" you. I might be offended by you doing baby talk to your grandchild in the mall, do I have the right to tell you to shut up?

Do you think that Shops that refuse to serve customers while the customer is on the mobile phone?I am not about banning anything.
If your phone call is that important then you should have the right to deal with it so step aside and deal with it.
I also have the right to be served and not held up because of someone wants to talk on the phone.l.

Yes, absolutely the right approach! By making that person wait until they are off the phone they can serve other customers. When someone's on the phone and another is asking questions, there's a lot of "hold on a minute" and "just a second" delays while the phone person juggles phone, wallet, papers, etc. and continuing their conversation at the same time. The person on the phone is annoyed at the interruptions to their call when the other is simply doing his/her job and taking care of customers.
I work in a doctor's office - doc does not take the patient back while they are on the phone. He waits until they are finished. Some people have gotten huffy about it, but I just tell them "he was waiting until you'd finished your phone call." One guy got angry "Wasn't my appointment time at 9:30??" "Yes sir, you were on the phone when doc came to get you, then when he came back you were on a second call. He feels it's rude to interrupt a conversation and was waiting for you to complete the call."
I haven't seen any shops doing this but if some do then I think that's great.Do you think that Shops that refuse to serve customers while the customer is on the mobile phone?
I haven't seen this. Usually, shop clerks show great deference to absent-minded customers...after all, it's all the same to them.
I think customers have to take the stand. If a person is using a cellphone while checking out and unable to completely attend to the transaction in real space and time, I will interrupt them and gently push them right aside to attend to business.
