I just went to Subway and stood in line for 30 minutes (when your pregnant and craving something you have to have it), but amazingly this didn't upset me, but another situation there did.
While standing in line at Subway a man about 5 people ahead of me ordered a combo. Well this man had a speech impediment even though he was completely coherent, he must have had a stroke. He was trying to tell the cashier at the counter that she had forgot to give him his drink. After attempting to tell her a couple times the cashier looked him right in the face and yelled "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!!" he then proceeded to point to the cups and finally a light bulb clicked in her head this man couldn't speak well and she was just a total wench to him. This broke my heart as the man walked away embarrassed and ashamed with his head hung to the ground. This cashier completely made a fool of him and I had to keep myself from throwing my body across the counter and teaching her a lesson.
This situation touched me and made me realize that in everything we do we should never speak to a stranger this way (let alone anyone) and always respect those around us. Give yourself a chance to understand, slow down, and don't ever forget that we aren't all the same. I left there with a new view and although I felt saddened, I also learned a valuable lesson.
