No need to use sign language. Had the "can't speak" experience after a dentist visit. Took out a piece of paper and wrote down what I wanted to say and showed that instead. These days people would probably use their phone and type it out.

I would probably use the sign language interpreter option and write down what I want to say on my phone or on paper.

(unless they have some weird policy to only serve customers who use sign language)

I'd wait until my sore throat is gone. And if I have a disability for longer I'd have to learn to navigate the world my friend. Just like me and you have had to learn to read and write. Funny enough, we also had to learn to use a phone. Oh how dare companies expect us to know use a phone and dial a few digits!

And this is why it is called "empathy" training.

Wow, this gas leak looks really bad. Let's hope my sore throat gets better quickly so I can call for help about this.
