An entitled interpreter claims that I'm a scammer and tries to convince my deaf customer

that I'm trying to take all of his money.

But this guy isn't aware that I know everything he's saying to my customer.

So as a result, I get him in trouble, which then leads to him getting fired.

Here's what happened.

Years ago, I worked doing call center tech support for a legitimate US based company.

We served mostly elderly clients.

The way it worked, they'd pay a subscription, and we were on call 24-7 as much as they needed.

We could remotely access their PCs to fix them, log in to show them how to do something like

low-level computer training, on par with basic computer classes that you might see at

a community college.

Stuff like that.

This service wasn't cheap, easily in excess of $100 a month, but justifiable given that

most customers would call a couple of times a week for one thing or another and could take

a couple of hours per call.

All of our customers were deaf, and they would call us via a teletype service.

For those who don't know, the deaf caller types or signs with a third party service, who

then calls and speaks for them, relaying the message over the phone to the person on the

other end.

They are supposed to be impartial and convey messages word for word.

It's essentially a translator job.

You don't inject commentary into the discussion, just relay the message as precisely as possible.
