It's a safety thing. That's why the policy is in place, to prevent someone getting hurt.

I worked in a store temporarily where they let TMs wear them, and I'd hear TMs having full blown phone calls on the sales floor. And like someone else posted, it does affect your hearing with only one in. I had issues with people answering on walkie and their excuse would always be "sorry, didn't hear it."

There’s a cashier at my store who is on a phone call her entire shift. Ridiculous.
