Do You Need to Introduce Yourself on the Phone?

It's a debate online...

When you’re calling a store to ask how late they’re open, or if they’ve got something in stock, do you introduce yourself?

There’s a TikTok that’s going viral, where a woman says she always introduces herself on the phone when calling places, like a restaurant to make a reservation. She said it’s just “common courtesy.” Her two friends don’t do that…they just say “hi” and get right to the point.

That started a debate online, with some saying they always introduce themselves and others saying they never do it, unless they’re specifically asked for their name.
