I may have to think twice before I work for Market Force again after this one...their forms already irritate me considerably (one page at a time? really?) and now I was told I had to do something really, really dumb in the future.
I was doing a grocery shop for them where I had to ask questions to gauge the answers. I had three to ask. The person I approached was apparently a recent immigrant to the US. The first question went OK, I think because I was able to sign what I wanted as I asked. But the second question...the person got very confused, and it was clear they did not speak English well enough to fully understand what I asked. So they got a manager, who helped me. I didn't get to ask the third question, which had to be to an associate, not a manager.
So I asked MF....what do I do in a situation like this where it is clear there is a language barrier?
Their answer...ASK THE QUESTIONS ANYWAY!!
Really??????
