I wonder how the primitives think non-speakers of English buy groceries.
I just don't get it, being grocery-challenged because of laryngitis.
I have bought groceries often without saying a word other than "Fine, how are you?" and "Yes, that is all today" but I guess if you can't go through checkout without accusing the checker of being a puppet shill for the evil corporate ruling class, not being able to talk could be a problem.
