What an incredibly arrogant position you have on waiters and restaurants. Get off your damn phone and have some consideration for the poor slob trying to serve you and for the business trying to eke out a profit. Your attitude is why people think millennials are completely self-absorbed.
My feeling is that I don’t want to inconvenience others...the other passengers or the flight attendant.
I admit to being a rule follower. If they tell me to turn off my phone, I turn it off. If they ask me to buckle up, I do that too. I figure if they are bending over, asking me questions and talking to me, it is going to distract the people around me. Who can’t help being distracted by a flight attendant asking questions or saying something on a plane?
