The biggest fear I have at work is that a customer will call me the r word. You may be wondering why I have that fear since I do not have an intellectual disability.
I work in the college bookstore. I work the cash register, see below for money handling tips, and sometimes it gets busy. I do have unclear speech and problems using my hands at times, so uneducated people could assume that I have an intellectual disability. Being in fear of a word being used towards me should show how bad the word is. The word stings and should not be used.
The closest thing that I have come to the r word was a customer trying to grab his merchandise. from me. It really rattled me up. My boss is really great and has told me that he would defend me. My boss is the best boss ever.
Here is a related story about having others back at work.
