Peeved Cashier Yesterday I went out to go pick up some groceries. My stutter doesn’t usually cause me problems while shopping, especially grocery shopping. But apparently it did at the cash register yesterday. I put my items down and the employee asked me the usual questions like if I have a points card, if I want a receipt, etc. I just used my head to nod and shake as responses. He started to repeat his questions and started to look frustrated with me. After I payed and grabbed my items he said “I’m speaking english”. The cashier had a very heavy accent, he might of thought I was quiet because I couldn’t understand him. Or maybe he was just an ass. It’s not often I offend someone with my stutter.
