I've never found this to be a problem. Usually friends fire back a quick text or two while at the bar no big deal. Have yet to run into a friend that has full on text conversations while out with a group.
What I don't agree with is the checkout girl mentioned in the article who refused to scan a customers groceries because they were on the phone. I don't want to talk to you, you are not paid to talk to me, you are paid to scan my groceries, do it quick and I can get on with my life. Why must I be forced to talk to you?
