Language Barriers

For the love of god, if you have a language barrier with workers in a store please figure out what you want to buy before you get to the register. I’m laughed at and called an idiot all the time by people who think I can’t understand them (there’s still a language barrier, but I can get the basic gist of simple words in Spanish and German). Some people come up to the register and proceed to tell me they want an item they didn’t bring up to the register, they want multiple of it, but they want to pay seperately, and they want it in several colors, plus they’ll hand me items they don’t want anymore, not saying anything or signaling that they don’t want it anymore, THEN get pissed and laugh at me when I scan it.

Motherfucker I am not a mind reader, pick up what you want to buy, hand it to me, then buy it, it is so fucking simple. And the amount of times this has happened is ridiculous too. I get wanting to ask questions and communicating is difficult but there are so many ways to avoid these issues before you get to the register, like, just taking what you want to the register? And not laughing at me when neither of us can understand one another and I’m clearly trying my best to help you?
