It’s horrible. I hate it. Just last week, I asked the cashier at a rite aid/cvs (don’t want to say which for obvious reasons) if they had something. He said he wasn’t sure, & said that he could “call someone up.” He then asked if I wanted him to. I couldn’t even say “no thanks.” Kept blocking. It’s so f’ing embarrassing, horrible, feels like torture, etc. Phone calls can be really bad too. I try to avoid making them if I can. One reason why I love restaurants that have apps, so you don’t have to call if you’re ordering take out. All this to say: again, I agree. It’s a fricking nightmare, & I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
