Language Barrier

DCP – Day 19 – August 31, 2012

Tonight I worked at In Character, the store outside of The Little Mermaid ride.  I was by myself most of the night so that was interesting.  The hardest thing about my job tonight was the language barrier I had between me and the guests.  Most of the people that came in my store didn’t speak English.  If I had a dollar for every time I heard, me no speak English, or got a blank stare when I talked to someone, I’d be rich.  It was a little awkward at times because I didn’t know what to do other than point to their total and smile.  I wish there was an easier way to talk to non English speaking people without having to learn several different languages.  Because so far, this is the only down side of the job I have found.

Along with the language barrier issue tonight, I also got yet another new costume.  Fourth one this week.  This picture was taken in bad lighting so you can't see the awesome designs on it.
