As for the rest of you…
Sit with the following Pascal quote and ponder what the writer says about Life, Human Nature, and The Human Condition. Some of you may need to ponder this phenomenon for some time, possibly a decade, even. And then, IF you HAVE any PRINCIPLES, you will feel properly ashamed of yourselves ... for seeking to crucify some poor guy whose only offense was to accidentally sit on his phone.
And if you do not EAVESDROP on conversations not intended for your ears, then your tender ears will not be burning, will they! God almighty!
“If all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.” –Blaise Pascal (French mathematician, physicist, writer, and philosopher. 1623-1662)

Well aren't you all high and mighty.
There are consequences for talking behind peoples' backs. Most of the time nothing happens.
And some of the time, the target finds out. In any customer-facing industry, that's grounds for a reprimand if not termination if the offense is serious enough. Yes, complaining about customers is a time-honored tradition in the service industry. That doesn't make it ethical or correct. To claim that "his only offense was sitting on his phone" is a laughable proposition.
The salesman has nobody to blame but himself.
OP did the right thing by bringing it to the attention of the salesman's superior. At the very least, he is well within his rights to ensure that particular salesman is not getting a single dime of his money.
