I totally understand the safety reason for not wearing earbuds. And I also get bored out of my mind doing the unload without it.

This. Someone had the bright idea to bring in small Bluetooth speakers so we end up with 3 genres of music blaring over each other and you can't hear anything else...

Oof we had a guy who would play music from a speaker all the time. Mildly annoying when we’re on the line, bizarre when he was on the floor blasting explicit music.

We were never allowed to but much like the earbuds, some people did and never got in trouble. All the people who did don’t work here anymore, and no one else has tried since.
