I went a little over a year ago and the Spanish translator was very rude to me. My glasses had been broken for a while before I had started to go to vision works. This caused them to slide down on my nose a lot. When we went to checkout, she started lecturing me about how I shouldn’t wear my glasses like that and started mocking me saying I looked stupid. Not even exaggerating. She said I looked stupid, those were her words. I tried explaining to her that they were broken and I couldn’t help it, but instead of her apologizing, she started saying I was being disrespectful. She told my mother that having my glasses low on my nose was a “trend” that kids had started doing. I told her that for me that wasn’t the case, but she still insisted she knew what I was doing better than I did. She mocked and called me stupid and told me the next time she sees me that I better not have them low on my nose. She was very rude and disrespectful. Her only job was to translate for my mother, not mock and belittle me. Of course, since she was being rude, I might have had a little attitude. Who wouldn’t? She was making fun of me and telling me what I WAS doing. I told her multiple times and she refused to admit she was wrong. I get I must respect people older than me but she had no right to be so rude. I went home crying in the car. Not to mention I have very bad anxiety and just talking to her felt difficult to me, which is why I kept looking over to my mom which she claimed was a way of me “rolling my eyes”. Truly sad since the rest of the staff were so kind and welcoming to me. Lady was short and had glasses.
