And yes, for a cellphone, they have desks at the *one* storefront cellphone store I've been in. Mall kiosks are MUCH more common though! Probably just a choice between a wall or a desk phone.

I keep wondering if the ruffles actually rotate, mesmerizing customers and leading them to buy services they don't need. Then again at this date how many services did the phone company actually have?

I was offered coffee and talked to a clerk. Well in 2002 I inquired how much an X.25 connection would cost, so I walked to the local telephone office. I was offered coffee and talked to a clerk.

Although you don't go to the phone company per se; you go to the local cellphone store and they negotiate your contract with whatever carrier you choose. Of course, this is Alberta, where everything but health care is privatized. You don't even go to the DMV any more. To get a driver's license, you go to the private registry office.
