I had some time to spare between jobs today, so I thought I would nip in for a haircut. Noticing there was an empty barbershop, I went in. The barber was on the phone, and pointed in the direction of a chair. I waited for him to get off the phone, and get on the job of cutting my luxuriant locks. Two minutes passed, and he was still chatting away. I stood up,and walked out, telling him I would come back when he wasn't so busy.

How long would you have sat there?

Why is poor service so ingrained in this country?

Not as long as you. As soon as he pointed to the chair I would've walked back out.

I also hate drivers who are on their phones when they've got passengers on board.

I go into a local Turkish barbers for eyebrow stringing once a month. I also go in weekly for a full head and face shave with the proper cut throat followed by hot towels on the head and face. You can't beat a real shave once a week followed by a few shaves with the Fusion Pro Glide.
