Cafe etiquette has not changed to the point where one should sit playing hold music out loud on speaker, has it?

They picked up and now she's having a whole conversation about ordering the ultimate down puffer from a mail order catalogue.

She doesn't want to order it and have to send it back because it's the first time she's ordered over the phone, so does it run true to size? She needs a tall. Not a plus. A tall, large.

Must be a good price because she's risking having to exchange if it's not. Well she's considering it. If it's possible to return it for a different size.

They have a sale!

Now she's reading her full name and address and I bet she reads out payment information folks.

People, don't have loud conversations where you give out your full billing and payment info in crowded cafes. I'm really hoping she isn't going to read out her full payment info. Please, strange lady, don't do this here.

Thought there might be a speed bump because of the shipping times but no, she's just having it routed to her friend's address in southern Brooklyn.

Now we're trying to determine zip code and she's asking if she should call back once she's confirmed the zip code.

She's looking it up on her phone while the operator holds. For a moment I had hope she'd hang up & call back from a more private place.

We're back! They have the correct zip code.

Manners, being considerate & basic social skills are in the underworld. I'm unsure what happened to humanity. I can say that people noticed a marked change in behavior AFTER the numerous COVID lock downs. Teachers, in particular, have spoken about a downward shift in students' social skills.

Interesting. This person in particular is probably 20 or so years my senior.

On no! Bless her heart. That woman has ZERO situational awareness. I wonder how many folks typed her payment info, CV number, etc as she was speaking. I would've hated for that to have been my late mom conducting business in that manner.
