Shop Talk
I needed to rant
So I work for a indirect store retailer of Verizon.
One thing that drives me batty is when you are working by yourself, and someone walks in talking on their phone...

I have a personal policy when it comes to that. If you're on the phone in my store I can't see you.
I will not even acknowledge the person has entered my store until they get off the phone and I will happily skim past them to help the person behind them not talking on their phone.
It's rude and disrespectful, if I ever have a need to be on the phone while in the store I won't approach the register until I'm off the phone or put that person on hold, not even to pay for gas.

I'm the same way. I don't greet them or really acknowledge them until they get off the phone.
If they approach me while on the phone, I usually bust out my phone and start texting or something. They usually get the hint after that.
