Is it hard for you to communicate with chefs?

[ProChef75]

In most of all restaurants, hotels , fast-food and food service are afraid to hire deaf people to work, why? Is it because of your communication problem in the kitchen system with chefs ?

Before they could lose their business, they would have to ask you to go home. Is it because your fault , you can't hear, you can't talk and notdoing good responsibility of your professional job? What would you do after going home ? Sit at home and watch tv?
You have to do something because they might think you are dumb and dont know how to stand up fighting for your rights?

After you go home, they might be celebrating the party in their kitchen department and put the sign on the wall as " DEAF IS DUMB ".

If you ever feel pissed or rage while you could turn yourself as HULK in front of your boss and chefs . I would feel the same in you. Tell me about your experience if you can share with others. Thanks!

Um, Actually One of guy who knew sign languages due his half bro is Deaf. So He can communication w/me less the problem. *pssst* He's my supervisor.. (chuckles) Sometime I love this job but sometime hate do this same job..

This doesnt happen only in restaurants, hotels and such...I used to work for an insurance company and people would get so easily impatient with me. It seemed they just wanted to answer whatever question I had in a hurry so they can finish talking to me and not have to deal with the communication barrier. It made my experience there VERY isolating so I just said "fuck this job" and quit.

I am sure restaurants are harder cuz everything has to be done in a timely manner and people are on the go.

Most of the time communicate is not an issue , it just that they wouldn't even give some of these deaf people a chance to see if they can actually do the job....I've been a cooker almost all my life, even when my dad start his food business, I've left my old job to help out my dad's business....I love cooking and learning about foods etc that's one thing I'm good at, is making food and watching customers enjoy the food we serves....I could do anything even communicate well with the other staffs and the crews that we work with....All it takes is give us a chance to prove it and make it successful....

I work as an inspector at a warehouse and I have no plms communicating with hearies despite the fact Im either so illiterate at reading lips or I cant even damn speak. I use the English language, body language, gestures and "Show and Tell" to make my point across in my capacity as inspector.

I find that stange that hearing coworkers will LISTEN to me with gestures and non-verbal communication than their hearing team leader (I work for a department directly linked to corporate headquarters than my other coworkers on the night shift) Plus they know better than that NOT to piss me off if they do their job the wrong way. I've hit a lot of hearies with so many demerit points than I did for deaf workers when it came to checking their work for quality and correctness. My 1st priotity on the job is "Don't piss off the customer at the store!"

Same thing went for me when I worked at restaurants as a part-time job.
