Deaf Woman Terrorized by Mask-Obsessed Store Clerks after Asking to Read Their Lips"I was so confused," Heroux said. "She called the manager… I could tell by his face and body language that he was going off and kept [gesturing to his face] and I kept saying 'I can't hear you, I can't hear you!' He refused to write anything down… we were six feet apart through the plexiglass..." -Shannon Heroux [PJMedia.com] Shannon Heroux is a fun-loving mom on Instagram who posts about her child, hiking, and her family.
