I felt it good to explain the whole reason I'm writing this blog...
One day at work, again at a bakery. I had waited on a customer, just fine and gone about my business. What I didn't know was that they had stopped and talked with one of my coworkers about me. My coworker later explained,
"He said he got a mocha from you, and it was a little slow but worth the wait. He said he noticed you had a disability so he was okay that it took a little longer. I thought I would tell you about the compliment."
Now someone please explain how that is anything but a backhanded compliment, or rather, a complaint. If you don't see it, read through again. What's worse is that my coworker fully believed this was a compliment, and I didn't correct her. Yes I, missed a teachable moment, and that is why I'm writing this blog. To make sure I don't miss another.
Thank you for the views so far, and again follow me on twitter at @LindsMRoach
