DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have been going to a nail salon twice a month for two years. The owner and staff are all Vietnamese. My manicurist gives wonderful mani-pedis, and I have no complaints about the service. At some point during each appointment, and sometimes several times while I am there, the owner and some employees will have a conversation in Vietnamese. This happens in front of me and other customers. They sometimes laugh afterwards, especially after someone leaves the salon. I believe they are making comments about their customers. I understand they may feel comfortable in their native language. Unfortunately, this is not the first salon where I have encountered this. I feel so awkward when it happens, but I’m really uncomfortable bringing it up. What is the best way to handle this? Do I need to change salons? If I were to say something, what would you suggest? Can I express how awkward this feels? I would like to remain a customer there. GENTLE READER: Learn how to speak Vietnamese. Miss Manners is not suggesting a “gotcha” moment where you go on the attack, trying to prove that these employees are berating their customers.

Class Action in Rough Halifax Plane Landing Certified in Supreme Court - VOCM
The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has certified a class action on behalf of passengers on board Air Canada Flight AC 2259 which landed hard at Halifax in December of 2025 after the plane’s landing gear collapsed. The flight had taken off from St. John’s International earlier that evening, and officials at YYT later confirmed that debris was found on one of its runways after the flight took off. They wouldn’t say at the time whether the discovery was related to the incident at Halifax. The class action names Air Canada, Provincial Aerospace Ltd, St. John’s International Airport Authority and the Halifax International Airport Authority, all of whom have consented to certification. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law says they want to understand what went wrong that night and make sure that passengers have an opportunity to be fairly compensated for what they went through. The case will examine whether the defendants met their responsibilities for aircraft safety, runway safety and emergency response, and whether any failures caused injury or loss to passengers.
