This is one of my biggest pet peeves! The people who are standing in line expect you to wait for them to finish their conversation before you can help them? How arrogant is that? But if the salesclerk were to say, "I'll take care of the next person while you finish your call" would probably get in trouble, right? People have become slaves to these things. Like they have no control over their life. We can make a difference if we just speak up. I've been surprised when my daughter actually leaves her cellphone on the table when we go down to swim, or out for a walk. I've let her know how I don't appreciate the constant interruptions if we are trying to have a conversation. Personally, I refuse to be at anyone's beck and call 24x7 (except my daughter of course) And the fact that 'they' can track your every move sort of creeps me out. You can say no. You can let a call go to voicemail. You can have a good time without the cellphone. It should never take the place of real relationships and really living life.
