In response to "Library user poll: Do you consider it acceptable that the person at the reference desk is both helping in-house users and answering the phone? Does it" by mara

This is pretty much the norm for retail, though in-person clients should get priority.

If I had no customers needing assistance in-person, a phone customer could have as much time as needed. If an in-person customer needed help, I'd try to wrap up as quickly as possible with the phone customer.

And phone customers calling a brick and mortar location for info should expect that.
