The one story that I remember when I use reasons instead of using language was at work. I work at Walgreens on Maryland Ave. and Prosperity Ave. and I am a cashier on register one. Once in a while I would get customers that are mute (that uses sign languages). I don’t know specifically who they are but when they come up to me i would say “hello” and/or “how are you doing?” to them. And the instant that they don’t reply or just shoke their head(s) I would realize instantly that they are mute or cannot talk. Dispite the low communication I have with them I would still treat them as regular customers and say all of my taking(such as “your total is $__.__”, etc.). Then at the end I will be assured that the customer is mute by them using sign language to me. Mainly the costumer will give me a sign-language sign of saying “thank you” by throwing their hand toward me from under their chin. With that sign I can tell that they are mute and gratefully take their “thank you” as a compliment.
