Cell Phones in Public
|
Cell Phones in Public Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that when someone is speaking into their cell phone in a public place they tend to shout? I find that the majority of these folks are men but many women do it as well. This could be in a grocery store, a restaurant, in line at a sporting event or even at the bank or a doctor's office. I have noticed now that some banks and the local pharmacy has signs requesting no cell phone use during a transaction. Customer needs to be fully attentive and aware of what is transpiring with his transaction. When I was managing banking offices for many years, if a customer walked up to the window and was on his or her phone, I instructed the teller to NOT process the transaction until the customer was finished with his conversation. If he continued, I simply moved him over to an empty window and had the teller call the next customer up to be assisted. If the cell phone user was being loud I would ask him to please tone it down a bit. Most times they are oblivious to how loud they are speaking. Once they finished on the phone, then I would walk up to them, take their deposit, withdrawal slip or whatever they needed done to a teller and bring him back a receipt and cash, or pertinent paperwork. I find it rude behavior to be on a phone call in public and the people around should not have to listen to conversations that should remain private. Personally for me, if my phone rings and I am in a public place I will quickly silent it and then it can go to voice mail for me to retrieve and return the call when I am finished with my public errand. Not that many years ago, one would need to find a phone booth to make a call; then "beepers" came into existence and again, a phone needed to be located to return the call to the printed out number on the beeper. Times have changed drastically; I was out to dinner a few weeks ago and saw a young couple sitting at a table near by. Both of them were texting on their phones, looking down; never saying word to each other.I watched to see if it was just for a minute, but this went on for sometime. I find it incredibly sad that we have come to this; the human touch, real conversation and actual interaction with people has been replaced by modern technology. {=} {=} KCClaire0923 |

I for one, do not own a cell phone. anymore though, they seem to be a pain in the ass, as most people focus all their attention to the damn things.
