Cell phone saturation is so total even the crazy homeless guy who dresses like an extra from The Road Warrior in 90 degree heat (black leather duster, black headscarf, motorcycle boots with metal plates on the shin, fingerless gloves) has one.
His dialog is eerily similar to every other cell phone user in the world.
"Yah, I'm in the bookstore."
Combine these scripted discussions with the advent of ubiquitous Bluetooth ear-sets and we get the first step in the Borg-ing of America.
The re-programming of the buying public to use plastic for everything also continues apace.
So far today I've had three customers use credit/debit cards for sale cart purchases totaling less than two bucks.
I love how banking has evolved over the years- stuff that used to be free for their customers costs money and they even figured out a way to charge businesses for selling their goods.
Viva capitalism!
