I put headphones in EVERY. TIME. They still try to talk. It’s unbelievable. I wish I could just put something in my profile like “will tip 20% for no small talk"

Just say sorry I’m on a call the first time they try to talk and then if they keep going just ignore like you didn’t hear

I simply answer questions politely but don’t ask them. Most pick up on it after a few minutes of silence
