Just started learning ASL, already used it.
Forgive me if this isn't exactly appropriate for this sub, but I've had a bit of a blessing today that I wanted to share and a question I wanted to ask. I'm a cashier at a local grocery store, and I didn't want to keep signing just "HELLO," pointing at the final price, and then "GOOD DAY." It felt way too impersonal since I'm ordinarily a huge chatterbox, and I figure that if I'm talking everyone else's heads off, I should really make that absolutely everyone. I decided to start learning ASL literally today, and I already had a deaf customer. I was able to sign "THAT ALL YOU WANT TODAY," but I only got to "THAT ALL YOU-" and she began signing faster than I could read, but I think I made out a "YES" and a "THANK YOU." It was a huge motivator to see her light up. I did originally start speaking to her because I didn't notice her Deaf Awareness shirt at first, and I said "SORRY" after I started signing. I already know the alphabet, it was the first thing I learned so I can fall back on it if I don't know a word. I then learned "I DON'T UNDERSTAND, I STILL LEARN, SORRY," "I KNOW LITTLE-BIT SIGN," the usual greeting, "GOOD DAY," "THANK YOU," and "HOW YOU?" Are there any other phrases/signs I should learn? I just want to be as accommodating as possible.
