On Shopping…
I went shopping today at the after Christmas sales, like lots of other Americans looking for a bargain in this bad economy. As a disabled person, sometimes shopping can be difficult for me, because people insist on talking to my assistant like I can’t communicate (what I can) and as if it’s not my money that’s being spent (which it is).
But the staff at JCPenney must have had some sensitivity training. They treated me like any other customer, granted that meant they wanted my money. But the moment of normality was somewhat precious to me. And I got some great deals to boot!
