Using Mobile Phones in Public Places

Mobile phones are a fairly new tool, having only entered main stream use over the past 20 years, and as such a vital parr of everyones life, the societal norms to fit this new tool have to be slowly created. For instance answering your phone in a public place, talking on your phone in a quiet enviroment, turning of your phone in sensitrive areas, or in a particualrly strong case using your mobile phone while attempting to be served at a store. In the case of one store, they have decided to completely ignore any customers talking on their mobile phones, an interesting new way to encourage human interaction.
