Okay after reading and from my understanding, We are all part of many communities. For me, one is my family. We speak in guyanese to each other but when at work I speak regular english. Guyanese is just a broken version of English like jamaican. At work, I learned that we can NEVER accuse the customer of stealing unless we physically see them take something and open it and put it in their pocket. We can say things like, hey sir do you need help, or did you pay for that, and if you see them stealing you can say something like hey put that back and if they try and leave you canât stop them, itâs policy. Another community I’d say is when I’m with my boys, itâs completely different the way we speak compared to when at work and at home, thereâs no filter and itâs pretty âhoodâ since we grew up in some rough neighborhoods, itâs just a part of us. Then I’d say there’s school, which I would have the same attitude towards as my job, serious and just getting it done, being respectful, like saying âMrsâ. or âMr.â to your teacher or âprofessorâ if you’re in college like me. Saying âmay I go to the bathroomâ instead of âlemme go to the bathroomâ. Itâs just different approaches you must take when in certain situations, you have to be able to be versatile and know when itâs time to turn up or get to work. I did feel part of the âin-crowdâ because knowing in the hospitals they have to do similar protocols like we do at CVS, as they couldnât say if the patient’s blood pressure was falling, instead having to word it differently like we do if someone is stealing. Itâs really cool thinking about it that we are really all part of many communities.
