Oh, the looks on their faces...

[ContraCorriente]

So I'm near Deaf but don't wear aids. I'm told my voice sounds like I'm talking with a huge jawbreaker in my mouth. I'm good at speechreading so that's usually how I get by.

Went to the grocery store the other afternoon and got up to the checkout. The cashier asked me something and when I answered, she looked at me like I had three heads and said, "What was that again?" I repeated myself and just as I finished, I saw the bagboy say, "Try speaking English." I went off. "You should try being more patient. For your information, I'm deaf. I would love to see you try to talk when you can't hear yourself."

No patience for the smartasses. None.

You should go talk to the HQ about them both, and also the managers. I am glad, that you said what you did, to them both

[customersruinmylife]

Definately report the bag boy, he had no right to say that. Did the girl say anything insulting though?

[zzapp the witch]

I think (and would hope) that the way you put him in his place would make him think twice about using his smart mouth in the future.

[ContraCorriente]

The girl didn't say anything as far as I know.

(shrug) Oh well.

[Becks]

That bagger's manners and attitude are appalling.

I give him the following "gift".
