The checkout assistant was out of order and has got no right speaking to the paying customer like that. It's not if these till operators are brimming with manners themselves. A lot of them are a surly bunch.

Nothing compared to some occupations such as a paramedic who come to the aid of injured pIssheads on a Friday night and get nothing but abuse.
If I was in the position of the checkout operator I'd be more focused on scanning their items as quick as I could than worrying about the customer on his phone.
At the end of the day, you come across rudeness everywhere you go, in work and out of work. I don't like it when I open or leave a door open for someone and they don't say thank you but I let it go over my head because it's not worth getting wound up about.
And for what it's worth I'm not one of these people who are forever gassing on their phone, so I'm not siding with the customer on that score. I just don't like jumped up oiks who think they can dictate to people when they have no right to - and especially to the paying customer.
Funny you should mention drivers... because, as recently as yesterday afternoon, Myrna & I happened to be passengers in a car belonging to a friend of mine. At the time, we were in a fairly narrowish street and my friend pulled into the side to give way to this guy approaching us on the other side of the road, driving an expensive-looking, open top sports model in excess of the speed limit for what were built-up urban surroundings.
Did the "posh" jerk have the common decency to acknowledge my friend's good road manners?
... did he buggery!
