[Blindtlk] shopping assistance

[River Linda]

Hello,

I do not see what the problem would be in asking for your son by name for
assistance. Does the store know he is your son? Even so, as long as he is
strictly assisting you just like he would any other customer, this should
not be a problem. He probably should not walk over and say Hi Mom. Okay
that's my two cents worth.
