The OP explained that while their mom is Asian-American and has an accent, her English is perfectly clear. Still, some people choose to act confused just to be rude\u2014and this employee was one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a simple return at the store, the worker kept dodging the mom\u2019s questions and speaking to her like she was a child. After repeatedly ignoring what she was asking, he finally sighed, turned to the OP, and said, \u201cCan you translate what I\u2019m saying to your mom?\u201d as if she couldn\u2019t understand English at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OP snapped into action. They pulled out an earbud, glared at him, and said, \u201cMy mom can understand English perfectly fine,\u201d loud enough for nearby customers and even his smirking coworkers to hear. The worker instantly looked embarrassed and suddenly \u201cunderstood\u201d the mom\u2019s question perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After answering, he tried to backpedal with excuses, but the OP ignored him and started speaking in their native language while giving him a pointed look. They later explained that no one gets to belittle their mom\u2014and teaching him that lesson felt absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Reddit user shared a story about a store worker who mocked their mom because of her accent.
