i was in line at the liquor store earlier. the girl in front of me was on her cell phone while paying for her mudslides, yacking away to her girlfriend about some party they were going to. i got annoyed on behalf of the clerk and looked at him to give him a sympathetic rolleyes only to realize that he was also on his cell phone while making change. i looked back and forth between them a few times, then turned around to see if anyone else was witnessing this - the only other person in the store was a guy behind me who just gave me the “it’s your turn, fuck” head-nudge. as i was turning around to place my beer on the counter, mentally preparing to skullfuck him with my eyes if he was still on the phone, i heard mudslide girl’s phone conversation turn into a bitchfest about how the clerk had the nerve to be on the phone while he served her! at this point i’m starting to sympathize with movie characters who ask people to pinch them, so i figure i better just buy my beer and gtfo before anything weird happens. i turn back to the clerk only to find he is doubled-over in the most painful and silent laughter i’ve seen since i asked my future father-in-law if he’d like an Obama 08 sticker for Christmas. apparently people do this to him allll day, so he’s been actively doing it back to them for about a week - this was the first time someone had gotten noticeably upset and he seemed pretty fucking proud of himself. i have to admit, so was i.
so what did u buy
nothing, i don’t drink

I don’t get it.
Since when do they allow cell phones in liquor stores? I’ve been asked to shut mine off- the assumption is that you’re calling someone underage to ask them what to purchase.
Really? Jeezopete, I’m all for keeping the demon rum out of the hands of youngun’s but I think unless the clerk hears the words, “And would your 16 year old self prefer malibu or smirnoff?” they should just butt out. (Of course, I am sure it’s a legal thing in which case, I plan on voting for the non-tightasses next election cycle.)
I think it’s because cell phones have a tendency to interfere with the x-ray machines.
What the hell kind of liquor store do you shop at?
That’s ridiculous.
As for the clerk in the OP’s story, i think that’s pretty funny.
Thats funny!
Good for the clerk. I have now doubt ubber douches on cell phones WHILE trying to complete a transaction have been the bane of his and many of his customers existence.
Can you hear me now? Bitch?
Wooosh
We were coming back from a family party and my 16 year old and her 25 yr old cousin were following us in another car. They are two well-manicured, fashionable peas in a pod. We all pulled into a gas station and we waited while my niece and my daughter were getting gas. We look over to see them both just sitting there at the pump, each on their cell phones. Someone asked who they could be talking to. “Probably to each other…”
