This happened multiple times today. And I do mean speakerphone- like, I could fully hear the other side of the conversations while they were waiting in line and while making their coffees.
Why do people do this??? I want to ignore them until they get the hint and stop their conversation, but I work at a busy store and there’s always people waiting behind them. And when they get annoyed with me for “interrupting” when I need to ask clarifying questions so the “latte” they ordered actually comes out as the “large iced caramel latte with oat milk” it makes my head explode.
I’ve really noticed more younger people, like 17-24 (I’m an older barista so you all look like babies to me lol) doing it too. So frustrating!
