I think the old rule of "Hang up and drive" also applies to waiting in line to buy something. That's the point of a line: To wait and buy something. If you're busy, then you're obviously not waiting to buy anything; you're talking on the telephone and you're doing nothing more than being annoying.
I agree with the rule of "The customer is always right", but you're not a customer if you're in line talking on a phone. My advice is to put it on silent, if it's important they'll leave a message or call back in 10 minutes.

Always keep priorities straight, mmk?

Slickdeals reports only the 19th is free, but OCTA here is free for four days.

1. Gas is expensive already, why not stick it to them?
2. Clerks aren't responsible.
3. Gas stations can't charge much lower, so they would be at a loss. However, a lot of gas stations suck and the people are so rude.
4. You would think that all the crowds of people coming in, paying 1/3rd of the normal total would set off something in their head.
5. Driving off without paying is another option, obviously it's stealing. I've never done it, but I don't feel bad if I hear someone else does it. The usual reason is that it's too expensive.

I don't have an answer though.

That was a really long sentence. I know.
They probably won't reopen any here in OC since the competition is fierce. We have Microcenter and Frys beating each other up, Best Buy is still lingering with their thumbs in each others' asses.

Yeah, gimme a liter'a cola!

Worst line ever. KFC and Pizza Hut are also owned by the same company, yucky!

@Buran: Carry some cash, mmk? No one should have to wait in line while the person in front of them is paying for mints and a bottle of water with a credit card charging 18% interest.

1. Free WiFi (None of the Sb stores have this in orange county, down the block of any of them is a smaller, cheaper cafe that will fill this accomodation)
2. Cheaper coffee! It's just a drink ffs!
3. Not have your employees bug me.
4. Leave the bathroom doors unlocked instead of asking for a key. Big inconvienience.
5. The place stinks and if I'm there for more then 5 minutes I walk out with my clothes smelling like coffee. Haven't you heard of ventilation?
6. Too many customers. Hire more staff and install a few more registers. Make the manager actually get off his fat ass and do something when a line forms.
7. Ban those bluetooth devices in the store, in fact ban all cellphones.
8. The music is annoying and dissident. Change it.
9. Stop accepting credit cards (This makes sense if you think about it for a minute, refer to #2, part 2 if you need clarification).
10. The environment is identical to every other starbucks, make them more unique (This requires much investment, I know)
11. Would it hurt to make the place bigger? And what's up with those pillars installed in the middle of some of them?
12. Report your stocks every MONTH, not every quarter. That pissed off your investors. Oh wait, Last I heard SB wasn't even on wall street anymore. Nevermind!
13. The pastries are too expensive. And they're not even freshly made, you aren't fooling anyone. You did a good thing by stopping the sandwich thing just to attempt proving a lesson to McDonalds.
