A clerk in a neighborhood corner store told Beth Spotswood she wasn’t allowed to use her cellphone in the store. Beth was understandably vexed (“How can they have a cell phone policy? They don’t even have brie.”) and wrote about the experience here.

Hey! That’s me! Thanks!
Thanks for coining my new favorite cheese-related retort to any unjust regulation.
There’s nothing “corner” about that store. It’s the former overpriced Cala, now the super-overpriced DeLano’s IGA. I hate it even more now that they’re not open 24 hours. I wasn’t aware of a phone ban. On my way home from work I needed to pick up a few staples and I had my huge laptop backpack. At the turnstile there was a big sign that said “Absolutely No Backpacks or Bags Allowed in Store” or something like that. Of course I wasn’t going home to drop my pack off first, so I just went on in. I told myself if I get asked to check it or leave I would never shop there again (ha! like I’ve never said that before!), but nobody said a word. That place has always sucked and will continue to suck even if they raze it and put in a live/work/shop Whole Paycheck condo complex.
