There are some cafes in Sydney who refuse to serve someone at the counter if they are talking on their mobile phone or texting. They usually put up a sign stating this so that staff don't get an ever ruder response when they deny service to the "offender". The general gist is that if the person expects the full attention of the cafe staff at the counter, then the cafe staff would expect the same courtesy. It's also a bother to other customers in the cafe if they have to wait for someone to get off their phone so that they can have their order taken.
I love the idea and think it's about time!
