...I want to shove that thing up your ass...badly.
Guy comes in yammering away on a bluetooth headset. He completely ignores my greeting and my inquiry about whether or not he needed help.
He continues to browse, babbling on. He's not being quiet either, I gather it's some kind of business deal he's working on her something.
Some time later he comes up to me to purchase a game, still talking away on the headset.
At one point he turns his head away to focus on his cell phone conversation. This is where the major suck comes in. As he is talking away, the store phone rings. I go to pick up and...
SC: Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Me: Answering the phone.
SC: Oh no you don't. You serve me first before going near that phone.
Me: Well sir, I...
SC: It's ridiculous that you value a customer on the phone more highly than one right in front of you. I made the decision to drive out here and shop and for that I should be treated with more respect than someone who just calls in.
Me: Well you were in the middle of your conversation and...
SC: That does not change the fact that I should come FIRST. Yes I was talking, not that it concerns you but I am attempting to complete a very important deal. I'm talking six figures here so you can understand I need to get all the details right. Besides, if someone wants to talk to you so desperately they will certainly call back.
Me: Ok look, I only wanted to take the call because you were busy. I don't care if it's an important deal or not, you should have put the person on hold or told him you would call him back in a minute or just tell him to wait while you completed your transaction.
SC: It's a fucking game, I shouldn't need to say a word to you to get rung up. You scan it, I see the price, I give you the money, you give me my change. No talking needed whatsoever. *to person on phone* No John, I'm just a little frustrated at the moment, some people just don't have any common sense.
Me: Will that be all for today?
SC: What? Yes! Good grief, just give me the game and let me get out of here.
I do and he leaves, still blabbering into his headset. I would have really let him have a piece of my mind if I didn't have a line building behind him.

What a Twatwaffle! I'm sure his conversation was 'really' for some six-figure deal. In the middle of a store. Riiiiggghhhtt. Hee, should have told him, politely, that you would wait for him to finish his conversation before ringing him up!
I write, my friend Red draws. Comments welcome. Leave them on their, or on my profile here. 
I was thinking something along those lines, too. 
What an fucking tool.
