Agreed - but just because you don't "see" the executive's secretary having to get the phone call from a customer because said executive is talking to his wife/girlfriend/posting on a personal message board/jacking off at porn doesn't mean it's not happening A LOT. I know my brother's wife calls him at least 5 times a day, lol.

If I walk in and someone's chatting on the phone and doesn't immediately get off I walk out. I don't have that option with a corporate worker because I don't know WHY s/he can't talk to me, just that they're "unavailable".

My point is that this is a problem throughout the entire workforce - just not just the burger flipper, so saying they're doing this because they don't make a lot of money and that's why they don't care isn't correct, IMHO.
