Ok, J0sie, let's look at it from your perspective as purely a business transaction (as it often is, but not always, as in this instance here).
Change the word "chica" to "plumber" (but not THAT way!).
So I'm there talking to a plumber about a leaky pipe I need fixed (heh heh). I really like this plumber's work (and you know a good one is hard to find!) so I'm there paying the estimate and discussing what needs to be done, and some other guy comes over and tries to take the plumber away from me to do HIS work.
I could be talking to a car dealer about the Pontiac GTO I want to buy and be interrupted. I could be talking to a bartender about the drink I want to have and be interrupted. I could be asking "how much is that doggie in the window" and it just doesn't matter.
In any transaction, business or not, its completely uncool. Putting the chica in the situation is doubly uncool because you've now MADE her into ONLY a business transaction and these chicas are NOT just pieces of meat (no matter what any of the more jaded members may say). If that IS someone's viewpoint, I'd liken it to a slot machine - if I'm there putting in all my quarters, waiting for the payoff, and someone pushes me off my chair to pull the lever and take over, I WOULD punch them in the face.
