I am generally a very patient person, but what I don't have the patience for is disrespect for people with disabilities. When I saw this video that first appeared on the New York Post, my blood was boiling! 

A restaurant worker in California, USA has been fired after he mocked a woman at a fast-food drive-thru. The woman, ReVae Arnaud-Jensen, is deaf and could not use the speaker to place the order, so she opted to order from the window instead.

In the video, you see the worker mocking her with hand gestures, and insisting that she must go back and order via the speaker - even though she could not. 

Arnaud-Jensen sat for two hours waiting to be served. 

The restaurant released a statement saying that they "do not tolerate the mistreatment of any customers and expect employees to follow all training procedures."

As for the worker, he should be disgusted for the way he behaved. There is no excuse for it at all.
