As someone who wears hearing aids and sometimes needs people to repeat themselves, it's stories like this that warm my heart. From my perspective, I really want something, but I feel like my disability is an inconvenience to everyone around me. It's people like you who take the time to help people like me with my disability feel like I belong and that is what warms my heart the most. Showing you care and making sure everyone leaves happy is one thing, but to learn sign language just to make people happy just shows how pure you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting a smile on my face today with this, and thank you for being who you are. Edit: thank you everyone for your kind comments. You're all wonderful people. I hope the new year treats all of you well. :)
I know EXACTLY how you feel! I have hearing aids too and I always feel like an inconvenience, people showing they care like this always makes me happy too
“Stealing $100 from a blind man” has to be one of the most scummy things I’ve ever heard. The food service industry is brutal, but there’s a special place in hell reserved for that server. How dare you.
@@multidebbie1 No, no. A lot of people would not have robbed another person in broad daylight just because they have a disability. A few terrible people would have. And they should be in jail if they do. Cause that can absolutely be considered abusing a disabled person. But a lot of people would not
I have a family who has a couple of deaf people in it, including my dad, (and some hard of hearing people including me) and that story just warmed my heart.
@@der1nz it’s a shame, yes. But it was a total mess when we first started with it. My grandfather was eccentric and then sick and poor a long time. The guitar literally had a blob of caked on resin or food or something and the paint was wrecked and the hardware was rigged up with like a wood block as a bridge. We took it to a music store and they tried to find out what year it was but they were unsure. Condition wise I don’t think it had much value but I would have liked to get it working right.
My grandpa was deaf, but he didn't sign, so I never learned it. He lost his hearing at 19 and he read lips well enough where if you spoke slowly, he could grasp it. I met another deaf guy at a bar while watching football and we communicating by texting essentially. I do know a few signs though from working with deaf person. I can't even imagine not being able to enjoy music, at the VERY least.
i’ve heard that some deaf people will “listen” to really loud music because the sound vibrations feel nice or something. not sure how true this is tho.
Same. I’m a total music lover so I wouldn’t imagine but some deaf/hard of hearing people I’ve met say they enjoy the vibrations or use hearing devices.
I'm going to tell you, as someone who studied ASL and worked at an Arby's, nothing made my day more than seeing a deaf customer looking pleased with the service. They seemed excited to know that I knew enough sign language to take their order, and if it was to go or for there. You had the right method going for someone who couldn't sign. Deaf people appreciate when others at least try.
sometimes deaf people are truly amazing. I work at mcdonalds at the moment and this lady comes every day with a smile and a piece of paper that tells us what she wants to order. sometimes it can be difficuilt for my fellow co workersvto understand what she wants. but she is real angel.
Taking the time to learn what ASL you did really proves to me and that family that you really do care. What you did that day means a lot to the deaf community
This is a wonderful story! I have deaf parents but they don’t seem to bothered about it, obviously me and my siblings had to learn sign language to communicate, it wasn’t that hard from what I remember. My elder sister and I have to interpret for our parents. Thank you for respecting the deaf community! :D
This is so Cool! My dad has a condition called ushers syndrome so he’s part blind and deaf so it’s really nice to see someone helping deaf and blind people the best they can :)
@@farmingpotato3372 yeah, giving people millions of dollars, changing their life, making them smile, doing kind things others don't do is definitely not pure
This is the first time I’ve seen or heard of you, and right from the get-go I like you. It’s nice to see someone care for people who aren’t normal (calling a deaf person disable is considered rude, at least according to my ASL teacher), and it’s even better when that someone goes the extra mile to learn how to talk with deaf customers
as someone who has a deaf dad and a mom who works for deaf and hard of hearing and knows ASL (American Sign Language) this is actually kind of smart. You could use a note pad for more easier communication but this is more simpler for the family.
There’s also a form of sign language called Auslan which is short for Australian Sign Language. I assume it’s not all that different from American Sign Language.
@@MK8MasterJunjie Every country has their own sign language. They are not interchangeable and learning one doesn’t mean you know the other. I’ve been learning ASL for 10 years now and I don’t know any BSL, Auslan, LSM, etc. Additionally, Auslan is more similar to BSL than it is to ASL so no they are not similar.
A few years ago I served an elderly guy with throat cancer. He was able to speak a bit but quite hard to understand and none of my coworkers (or so it seemed) had the patience. I took the time to serve him and when I couldn't understand him I just whipped out my block and a pen and continued to serve him via text. I still think of him, he was a very nice costumer!
Well done sir, you made that deaf family feel welcomed, appreciated, and the fact you took the time to learn some sign language for them I'm sure made their day. God bless you. 🙏
I really love ur videos Even it's without music, and a little editing, but it's the most videos that I really enjoy when I'm watching it. Listening to the great and fun stories that u tell us about, and Watching you make sandwiches that look delicious Keep going💙
I had an ASL(American Sign Language) class in college. I remember a few phrases from the class. I thought I would meet a deaf or hard-of-hearing person at work. I have worked at Walmart for over two years and I haven't met a deaf person yet. I don't know what it would be like but I'm sure it would be helpful to them.
I am currently taking ASL ( American Sign Language ) in school right now and really what inspired me to do that is knowing there are family’s that can’t communicate properly and people even struggling to order food. I’m not saying everyone needs to learn ASL I just think that so places should require an employee to know ASL because it would make things easier for the deaf person. And maybe the employee doesn’t need to be fluent in ASL but I just think they should know a little. This is just my opinion and I hope some of you agree! ❤️ 🤟
Milad,there's a thing you should learn if this happens in the future,it's sign language for people who are deaf and have hearing issues,it's called "Makintong" or smth
Miami, Have you ever had a customer come behind the counter and tell you how to make a sandwich? Or just take it instead? I love your videos by the way! You’re such aa nice person 😊
I’m early! thank you for making my day Milad. I have a question, has anyone came in asking for somthing and then when it’s done they say “actually I don’t want this”
As someone who has troubled hearing this makes me so happy. I think more people should choose sign language for their language in hs/college. The look on their faces is so refreshing and makes me cry every time.
Served blind customers Twice and they Are the nicest customers I have served. All of my coworkers says the same. One of them even gives me hugs as thank you for your service☺️
Great story! (I would listen to it in my sleep to wake up with a full smile on my face) but also I love footage of sandwiches and ice cream you put on the screen to enjoy while listening to the story😊😊
Working at McD years ago, I had a deaf customer come though and she had typed her whole order out on her phone and just held the phone out for me to read. Made it very easy.
It’s funny that you’re touching on this subject bc I just watched CODA last night. Being a person who’s hearing impaired, I’m partially deaf in my right ear, I really appreciated the premise of the movie, it was great👍👍👍 You’re very sweet and kindhearted, I hope that never changes in you♥️
As someone who is taking ASL in high school I have met some deaf people and their faces just lit up and it's so fun to see them actually smile and it always Brings tears to my eyes and their eyes
I worked for a year at a grocery store and had to help guide some blind people around the grocery store doing their groceries at times. It was always heartwarming since they seemed happy that someone would even be there to help them out. Always so loving and caring !
That story was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, I have my younger brother who is the only one deaf in my family, I have problems learning sign language but me and my brother always spend time together
