I was like "I'm gonna stop you right there: flip phone." and pulled it out of my pocket and brandished it like I was the sheriff of Luddite-ville.

I'm baffled by these comments. Who the hell is actually listening to these people and installing apps on their phone just because a cashier mentioned it?
