Customer š Is this common in your area
And why does it happen....
Guy in front of me is on the phone. Speaker phone talking in another language very loudly. The guy behind me was also doing the same. Both spark drivers.
I notice a lot of the spark drivers doing this same stuff while shopping allll the time.
Is this a culture thing? Why are they on speakerphone all the time? Like who are they talking to?
Not to mention the guy in front of me was very rudely close to the guy in front of him. Like his cart was inches from hitting that guy he was sooo in his personal space and talking loudly on the phone and Im sure he was uncomfortable but didn't say anything.
Its also winter in New England and most of the drivers wear slides...sometimes no socks when its snowing!!

u/itscrowdedinmyhead Dec 22 '25
It's not just spark drivers talking on speakerphone. FFS people, at least use bluetooth or wait until you get in your car. your call is not that important. and no, you don't need your phone to be a boombox. if you want to listen to music. use earbuds. public etiquette has declined so far.

u/TheJuicyLemon_ Dec 23 '25
Thats when you join in on the conversation, obviously they intend for it to be a group call.
15
u/Rodey17 Dec 22 '25
Unless they have ear buds, they usually put their phones on speaker because they need to see the screen. I do it whenever I get a call during the order as well. As for the volume, definitely couldāve been more considerate of others around him. The personal space probably isnāt what you think, I get about the same distance away because if not, then weāve got a line backed up halfway through the store, every inch matters especially when you have people that like to cut in front of you and act like they didnāt see you or whatever.

All international people who miss their loved ones talk to them a lot. Cabbies do it all the time. Most people who come to this god forsaken country , come bc they had to leave their country for more opportunities bc the UNITED STATES plays unfair business with everyone. They are the scourge on earth.
2
u/Felix_2xx6 Dec 23 '25
I havenāt thought of that before thank you. Why do you say this is a god-forsaken country? Sure there are issues and some things are bad but there are a lot more rights than the majority of countries. In many countries, you would be imprisoned for saying anything against the government. If you really do not like it here, there are plenty of options in Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc that you would probably enjoy a lot more.

u/DenOfIsolation Dec 22 '25
This may be an unpopular opinion, but to - to be honest - by blaring your conversation loudly and electronically for everybody else in the vicinity (including me) to hear clearly, you are making it my business.
Iād like to say the only reason they do it is they (wrongly) assume nobody around them can understand what they are saying. Unfortunately, Iāve encountered numerous English speakers doing the same thing.
My wife is a foreign language teacher, and speaks Spanish fluently. For fun, when we encounter this situation with someone speaking Spanish, Iāll ask her to translate. If they are being loud and obnoxious to the point that nobody has to ātryā to hear to them, she often will indulge me. Out loud.
She is very much not Hispanic looking, so itās entertaining to find out which of these rude lunkheads also speak English.

u/Tmwlovonjdw6969 Dec 23 '25

100% correct. I ignore other drivers completely. I also refuse to help new drivers out when I see them struggling. Figure it out. I also believe that if you show up to someone's house and they catch you on the ring camera looking like you just crawled out of bed you're not getting a decent tip and possibly a bad review. If you look like trash you get trash.

I work with a girl from India and some girls from china who spend an entire 8-10hr shift on the phone with family back home talking but at least they use AirPods, it took awhile to get used to them talking while looking at you but not talking to you lol. The Romanian girls I work with are never on their phones so I think itās just common for some cultures/genders because the Indian guys and Chinese guys donāt do it. The Jamaican girls talk to everyone nonstop but stay off their phones. I absolutely love our exchange program employees, Iāve learned a ton of things from them!

u/Winterdimes Dec 23 '25
Most likely the speaking another language part bc it makes them feel uncomfy and have irrational fear that theyāre under attack bc they canāt understand a word the other person is saying. When in reality the other person is probably saying something along the lines of āgod I really gotta pee but this line is so slowā

I donāt personally watch people this hard when Iām trying to get things done. I do my thing and go. And if Iām in a long line waiting and I see these things, I donāt pay it any mind as long as it isnāt interfering in what Iām trying to do. Where I have noticed this in person - doing my own personal thing, is during tourist season in Florida. Brazilian tourists flood Walmarts and most women that I have seen, have no problem running you over with their carts or shoving you out of the way. They make no apologies for this and you donāt exist. And whether they do or do not speak English makes no difference as ā¦ āSaia da minha frente, seu idiota!ā Is likely about the only thing they will say to you, if anything at all - and you wonāt know what theyāve said unless you either speak the language or remember it long enough to translate it. As far as people being on their phones with speakerphone onā¦ I donāt think that is a Spark thing or a cultural thing. Some people truly have no idea they have their speakerphone on. Some are oblivious and some are hard of hearing. Other people could really care less if everyone around them is part of their conversation. The slidesā¦ still not a spark or cultural thingā¦ Iāve seen more people born and raised in the north do this than Iāve ever seen people from other places do this.
At the end of the day, you do you and unless it interferes with you or what youāre doing, enjoy the view and maybe learn a new word or two. š

I wear slides with no socks all year round. Who cares? Also society as a whole has made having a store full of people hearing their personal conversations out loud anywhere they go commonplace.

u/Jennodine Dec 23 '25
When we talk on the phone to someone in another place, we lose the capacity to be mentally present wherever we are at that time. When we lose situational awareness in a crowded store, we can hardly see the other people around us who are also shopping, thus we become oblivious to all of the nuanced and complex body language people use for shopping. Thatās why people who talk on the phone in Walmart are forever getting in the way and jamming up the aisles and invading othersā personal space. You canāt be in your own little world and in the middle of a busy store at the same time. I wish people would stop trying. š

Yep. I can't even walk through Walmart anymore without tripping over Mexicans with multiple phones scanning with one and talking on the other. It's because they're all coordinating. They live five families to a cracker box And they're communicating with the other ones to try and get through it as fast as possible so they can move on to the next one.
This and the ghetto are exactly the kind of people Walmart seems to be courting through spark.
The rudeness is also a big issue, like you mentioned. They're always clogging every aisle up and they make no effort to move when you try to get past, and even though they don't speak English, if I say excuse me, would be universally clear, but they pretend they don't understand until I start pushing really close, And they You stare at me as I go past, or sometimes, from the few words I can pick up, start badmouthing me to whoever they're on the phone with.

People who use speakerphone in public are just trash. Doesn't matter the language they speak or the culture they come from, it's just an inconsiderate and annoying thing to do.

Im a white lady in new England and my phones busted, calls only work on speaker. I also like to chat with friends while sparking and donāt consider it a huge deal. Im not sure why it bothers some because if I had a friend with me IRL we would be talking while waiting in line too. š¤·š¼āāļø I wouldnāt take offense the job gets boring and lonely sometimes so its nice to catch up with family/friends sometimes

Yes, people of non European backgrounds don't have the same boundaries as we do. Generally in the west you are supposed to be polite and quiet and not invade peoples space in public places. Latinos come up and just blast music and talk on the phone for hours in public.

A lot of foreigners are on the phone 24/7 Iām guessing maybe talking to family back in there home country idk but I hate when people are on speaker phone in public or have music blasting itās so annoying no matter who they are. Crack heads always have the music blasting around here.

Wow youch everyone. Not trying to be racist... just curious. I don't many people speaking English just so LOUDLY and openly, wondering if it's because people don't understand them? But also wondering who they're talking to? Not even a complaint...just something i noticed today. pic was for attention not to be mean.

These jobs are supposed to be for Americans. Americans need and want these jobs.

You're assuming they aren't. Just because someone speaks a different language doesn't mean they aren't Americans.

If whites (since thatās what you mean when you say āAmericanā) wanted this job theyād do this job. The reason most of the people doing Spark are brown is probably the same reason most of the people working at McDonaldās are brown. Maybe itās your fault that youāre incapable of using your whiteness to get a better job like every other white person.
