I think it is rude at the point of being served, to stare blankly at the amount owed and hand a card over, as if the cashier is nothing more than a vending machine. Working in a supermarket isn't exactly a fulfilling job - it helps to have customers who talk to you, or at the very least acknowledge you.
The call can wait.

Well, most of the time it can, but not always. I don't see any reason to be rude to the cashier even if one is on the phone. Usually even if I am on the phone, I will nod and smile at the cashier, I might even mouth "thanks" whilst listening to whoever is on the phone. It's not ideal.....but just acting like the cashier isn't there isn't an option.
