MODERATORS
Pragmatics doesn't come into play when the employee can be disciplined for breaking corporate policy. Neither I, nor any employee of mine, needs to do anything other than our jobs. The bigot in the window needs to understand that they are viewing the world in an outdated mode of thinking and update their own speech and views. As do you.
Pragmatics literally always comes into play. Humans cannot communicate without pragmatics, because semantics without context doesn't actually exist in the real world.
You know literally nothing about my worldview other than "intentionally being difficult to an innocent customer who probably has no idea why they're being antagonized is usually bad".
Once more for the kids in the back: "Believe it or not, many of the people you interact with each day aren't actually bigots. They're just, y'know, reasonable people, which I know must make everyday life very difficult for you."
I know enough from your absolutely braindead and hostile Karen takes in this thread alone to know that you are an insufferable bigot that enjoys abusing employees that you deem lesser than yourself. I know enough that I can put you into the same group of problem customers that I have had over 20 years of experience kicking your entitled asses out of my restaurants. I know enough that you'd get free food once and told never to come back, as I don't tolerate people abusing my employees.
This comment is an excellent example of an interesting, sill-unsolved question in the Philosophy of Language community: "is it possible to 'know' something that's factually incorrect?"
Researchers seem to be split on the issue, so depending on which researcher you talk to, you could be right!
Claim whatever you want, class traitor.
Assert whatever you like, random person on the internet.
