I once stopped someone cold in their tracks in a meeting when they interrupted me. I let them talk for about 15 seconds and then louder than them said “I’m sorry for interrupting your interruption, but I’m going to finish what I had to say.”

THANK YOU

And all this time I thought I was being profound...

I was in a Whole Foods this weekend and I have no recollection of what music was being played. I’m sure that employees get zero say over the playlist which is probably company mandated.
