AIBU or is it bloody rude?
I went to a phone shop today with my son to buy a new case for his ipad. It took us 45 minutes to travel there specially as someone had recommended it.
When we got there, the bloke was on his phone, phone actually to his ear, didn't acknowledge us when we walked in the shop, when we went to ask if he had the right cases for us, he didn't put the phone down just looked at it, went "nah" and got back to his conversation, didn't even move the phone away from his face. I was so annoyed!
We then went to a post office. Same thing happened. Worker on the phone and served the lady on front of me, sent off a parcel for her and everything all while talking the whole time, didn't say a word to her and barely made eye contact.
When it was my turn I stood there and said "I'll just wait until you've finished your conversation" He looked really confused and then a bit angry and put the phone on the counter without hanging up. I was really overly pleasant, said good morning, please, thank you, but he avoided eye contact or conversation and then picked up his phone again before I'd even walked off.
Given that this happened twice on the same day AIBU to find it rude?
