I'm so thrilled to hear this! Reminds me of a video I saw of this person (maybe a Starbucks worker), using ASL to communicate with a customer the other day and the customer was shocked since they didn't know the worker knew it. Stuff like this can make someone's day worthwhile.
I hope more businesses can take an example from this, whether it's taking the time to learn a new language (speaking or signing), with even basic sentences, can go a far way or just become more welcoming.
that is so sweet and heartwarming!
@Jill7cups
I truly agree!
@Yendi I saw a video somewhere with a whole group of strangers who learned some things to say in ASL and then were planted along a street and then when this man who was deaf walked by they all signed something to him like hello or how are you etc. Kind of like a flash mob ha ha. I'm not describing it well but I cried, it was so sweet and he was so touched. Makes me want to learn some conversational ASL just in case.
I had to locate the article because the one posted in the thread had an error message.
I didn't know this unknown fact. Sounds like a place to visit just to experience and to see the hearing impaired community interact! Thanks for sharing!
@helloKiwi4868 oh that is a bummer, try this: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/starbucks-sign-language-deaf-friendly-store_us_5bcf8e42e4b0a8f17ef1b436
Nice news!@Jill7cups
Yes, I have! Mozzeria Pizza in San Fransisco! It is delicious and is completely run by deaf people! All people are welcome to go which makes it very enjoyable!

@Jill7cups
this is awesome.
Oh I don't know. I just started learning ASL and it's been going nice. I want friends though so I can practice.
