When I am having difficulty communicating with other English as a first language speaking people, I think of Mike Teevees line from Willy Wonka.......Am I coming in clear? I SAID......am I coming in clear......for some reason I seem to have difficulty communicating with people in North Kingstown more often than not. I dont know why...but, its true. I was in the Daves, checking out. Nice young man, polite, clean, smiley, I thought, I may just be ok here. As hes finishing the ringing he puts four large glass jars of sauce, a jar of pickles and four of Erics Body Armor drinks in one bag. And........were off........I reach to where he has placed the 50 lb bag, on top of the turnstile, try to lift it and say This is too heavy for me. Oh, its o.k. says he, I double bagged it. No, I say Its too heavy for ME. Thought perhaps if I emphasized the me, he would get it. No, no he did not. It will be fine, I double bagged it. I am not questioning whether the bag is strong enough to hold I say, I am saying it is too heavy for me to carry. Blank stare, blinking.........I said Look, a football player could carry this bag, a weight lifter could carry this bag, I cannot carry this bag. If I lean over to get it out of the truck, I am going to throw my back out. Mike Teevee.........am I coming in clear???? He then asks, Well, what should I do? You cant make this sh** up..... https://youtube/watch?v=Fj3WBfRZ5Nc
