I have worked as a custodian at a grocery store for four years plus one month, and do the garbage shift. I used to compulsively ask Siri what song is playing, and it would work via the Shazam widget, but I since installed the Shazam app itself instead because it keeps a list of all the songs it previously told me, so I less memory than taking screen shots of them and less time than adding them to my music. Shazam is also quicker and hears better so I do not have to hold it up near the speakers. I used it at work (for which I know that I am already TA) and was told by the manager to stop, so I did.
However, I discovered the effectiveness of tapping and holding the icon for auto-Shazam, which I can do before my shift to then collect many songs in my pocket during my shift. I was getting the waste baskets behind the counter in a department and stood near someone’s phone that playing a song for a few extra seconds while pulling the garbage bag from a basket and tying it. An employee saw what I was doing and moved her phone closer to me to help pick up the song. Days later, the manager told me that an employee complained about me going near her phone. He said “Why were you still using your phone after I told you to not?”
I explained that I was not using it – my phone was passively using itself. Like how they said that we are allowed to keep them on vibrate in our pocket for instance, in case of an emergency call or text. I was not touching or revealing my phone – just activating it before the shift, and not canceling the automated thing that acts during my shift. Like how our phones run data to seek push notifications, or if I make a Facebook post before my shift but then do not use my phone to delete it during my shift. I told him that I was not actively continuing to use my phone at work, and that I do not think that the employee hand book or what he told me are against it.
TL;DR: He talked to me again because he considers something that I did to be against what he previously told me to not do.
