My favorite part about your anecdote is that they literally didn't have any chili, so phone or no phone you're not getting a chili cheese dog and it's the manager's fault not this has station clerk. Even if the woman didn't own a phone your experience would have been identical in practice, unless you think eye contact with a woman is included in the price of the chili cheese dog you didn't buy.
Your only complaint is that she was on her phone. Not that she could have done something if she wasn't on her phone. Just "phone bad". Classic boomer entitlement.
We could have easily replaced the phone with a magazine, newspaper, or book and chili cheese dog with some other item, and then this story could have been anywhere in the last 200 years.
I am hoping its sarcasm, otherwise how did he get in here?
I'm mad because I didn't get a chili cheese dog at a gas station. I'm also mad because I saw someone using a phone and they didn't look at me when I (likely rudely) complained at them. These two things both made me mad so they must be directly related and I'm willing to ignore and excuse all evidence that tells me otherwise.
No bitch, the only thing that links the two events is that you're easily upset.
People like you are the reason we're overrun with conspiracy theories. They should teach critical thinking in schools. Smh.
