How do you expect someone who can only read lips to know what you are saying?

I legit had to remove my mask to speak to a deaf customer and therefore I risked both my life and his from the magic virus that you can't tell you have unless getting tested.

I had a deaf friend in college. He types his orders on his phone and shows it to the person at the counter.

Use paper
"Sir, one second while I find some paper"
At the same time, the guy would think I was being rude and walking away from him.

Jerking off would be a better use of your time than this.

Well now that you have experienced this it is on you to be prepared for another deaf customer or it is you choosing to be inconsiderate, now you can shut the fuck up and move on with you life.

There are masks that have a clear mouth fabric to make lip reading easier that are used by some sign language interpreters.

Not that this is a good faith topic.

that's the gold standard now. since the other can read text on phone.

back then they had to use american sign language or write on notes to speak with other.

/topic

especially with the advent of apps for fast food places and otherwise online ordering for local restaurants

and even if TC did have to remove his mask for this particular scenario, its still best to wear our masks as often as feasibly possible

Believe me, it does. People don't want a discussion with someone wishing to challenge these trials with logic and common sense so they resort to name calling and censorship.

Shouldn't you be used to no one wanting to talk to you?

There is a simple solution to this that obviously escaped your simple mind. Texting on your smartphone or just plain writing. You can close your stupid topic now

I'm sure they'd rather have to come up with an alternative way to communicate with you, than catch covid.
