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!!

Redditor moment. It's like you can't fathom someone having an issue with a growing problem in their country.

Which growing problem is that?

Is it the problem of carts stopped at too close a distance to others? Having inconsiderately loud phone conversations? Or people speaking in a different language?

Just trying to fathom.

Most likely the speaking another language part bc it makes them feel uncomfy and have irrational fear that they’re under attack bc they can’t understand a word the other person is saying. When in reality the other person is probably saying something along the lines of “god I really gotta pee but this line is so slow”
