I Was Here First!

How many times have you gone to a restaurant or retail establishment, waited in the correct line, gotten to the front of the line, only to hear the phone ring and see the employee rush to pick up the phone? What's the deal with that? Is this some kind of ingrained, Pavlovian response that's embedded within our DNA? At the very minimum, they could acknowledge my place in line and excuse themselves to go answer the phone. But, no... as soon as the phone rings, they're off to pick it up. Wait a sec... is that my cell phone ringing? See you later...
