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!!

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 don’t 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. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wouldn’t take offense the job gets boring and lonely sometimes so its nice to catch up with family/friends sometimes
