If they feel sorry for the deaf people, obviously they’re aggroant and we all should be comfortable with who we are and whatever we like to apporch with cashiers. I work as cashier in food store myself, there are ways they apporch to me like.. sign, write or speak slow to lipread. Im also deaf person myself… its a true story.
Basic idea that no one had thought of. Beside that, have a pager with you readily typed message for what to order. And or even pen and paper ready whom doesn’t have blackberry devices and what not.
Dude, YOU need to get a life. 1. Many French people know English, so it’s apples and oranges. 2. Although French people are snobbish toward Americans, they don’t think they’re dumb like many hearing people do of Deafs. 3. You’re fulla crap and don’t understand anything about the Deaf-World.

I do that once in a while.
wow i never thought about that until i saw your vlog.. next time i will try and see what these response will be. thanks!
Ok. Two things. 1. Your suggestion of going up and signing is as ridiculous as an American person going to a French country and speaking English expecting to make the french person feel inferior for not knowing English. Not going to happen. 2. If you really need to establish your superiority to people working at McDonald’s…you need to get a life.
i learned from u already . wow ,i did … i see some hearing say ” i am sorry ” then i show darn and asked them write paper …
some they did get hearing know some sign language and accept and cool .. to let me know alright
It is a very simple yet elegant shift in perspective on both sides! Good work, dndmartin!
Yes, there is a similar story like this is the video Audism Unveiled. Watch it, everyone!
Very good explanation and thank you for giving support to deaf community!
wow that is a good explaining about it
Hi
I agree with u 100 percent I tend to use my asl to anywhere I love to see how the hearing people react my language
Great Idea!!!! I agree with you 100%
Your pride of ASL may influence hearing to learn Sign Language.
i agrred with that, my experienced at McDonald i was use the sign language number from sign i never write, Hearing people cant tell if i am deaf…maybe i am from other country or i am born mute lol but i like your idea. good Job keep it up!
The point is not to make someone overwhelmed. The point is not approaching someone saying “I have a deficit because I can’t hear”. It’s “do you speak my language?” If hearing peoeple visit another country and they don’t speak they language, they don’t approach someone and say “I don’t speak ____”, they go up to someone and ask, “do you speak English?” It’s the idea that we are putting ourselves below hearing people without even realizing it. Everyone does what works best for themselves 🙂
I like your idea! I tend to always say out of habit saying” I am deaf” when meeting someone at the shop or anywhere. I should have said something in sign language.
Great idea! Thanks!
I did do that. there nothing wrong with that. it is freedom speech! make a sense to you? uh huh?
Think of how many shopkeepers know basic Spanish to keep up with their customers.
MrEggMan, if anyone makes fun of sign language they are complete and utter dolts.
wow i didn’t think of that! i should try and do that when i go to places like that and see what happens!! great idea!
also, i informed them that i am deaf, they didn’t gave me an sympathy look that i am deaf. they was very thrilled that they actually have chance to meet deaf people. after i ordered some hamburgers through paper and pen. the workers came to me and asked to teach some ASL so I did. i am strongly suggesting you to ask for pen and paper in the first instead sign in ASL. it’s such extremely rude to make them overwhelmed. this weirdo man with white hair need to go to see professional counselor.
everybody, honestly, this man is 100% wrong. this is my second time to write this message. last two days ago, i went to mcdonald’s and signed in ASL. they made fun of me and laughed so hard which it actually hurt my feeling. i am considering to against this man’s word for suggesting us to sign in asl instead requesting for pen and paper. one day, this weirdo guy with white hair would be totally regret that mcdonald’s workers made fun of him and he would need to call his mom for that.
wow! you got good point! i will do that for you!
I had a deaf person just come up to me and start signing, I had never met him so I didnt understand how he knew I can sign. I asked him how he knew and he said he didnt know i could- he was just hoping I could. It worked out for him, and after that he asked me when I work, because then he knows there will be someone to answer questions in his language. It was a great experience
that how i use with my hand asl, i don’t use paper beacuse how deaf feel..
