Hang up the phone - part two

Mrs. Howell's rant reminded me of something I've been meaning to share. I, as many people know, am a huge fan of Dunkin' Donuts coffee and often walk to the nearby Dunkin' for an afternoon pick-me-up. Recently the store manager posted a sign asking everyone to be courteous and hang up the cell phones when at the counter. I can respect that. It would be annoying to have to compete for attention with the cell phone in order to do your job, and I know it would be difficult to try to figure out who the person is actually talking to – you or the person on the cell phone. The irony here, though? The manager of the store is almost always on her cell phone when she's taking someone’s order...
