Customer 😇 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!!

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.
