⬇ New Follow Up Video! This same Drive Thru, but one year later! Check it out! ⬇ ua-cam.com/video/VxDnSUarIZU/v-deo.html Hey everyone, I want to thank you all so much for the support. However, please refrain from *any unkind comments* towards the employees. This was not our intention. Our only intention of this video was meant to educate and spread a message of how deaf people might order if they enter your drive through so anyone can be prepared. Thank you all ❤️ p.s. *This video has closed captioning, on a computer it is the "CC" button on the lower right corner. On a phone, select the 3 dot symbol in the top right corner and select captions.*
I've only just come across your channel but I do enjoy the content very much and this video has made me realize how hard it can be to be deaf and i found it really unprofessional how the manager acted twords you in that situation i dont understand why he was so rude it shocked me i found this video eye opening and i hope that the experience is better the next time i wish u both very well and i hope more people see this video
That’s unprofessional. Saying that without any proof. That’s why I don’t have respect on any manager in general from any store. Also supervisor. Most of them are assholes.
"He's faking it" That was so disrespectful. If they had a disability, whether is be big or small, would the person saying that want others to think he's faking it?
Gabriela Soltero Honestly with the amount of people who mess with the drive thru employees and they usually hate their job. And the probability of them ever encountering a deaf customer their entire time working there would be 0-1 their entire time there unless they have a regular one there. So it’s no surprise they would assume that he would be faking it since I think it was the guy who came it when he’s just asking him to write it down. And remember they don’t know sign language so all the guy sees is him giving him a sign to write it down. And the girls saying he can’t hear you. I’ve seen a video of a kid pretending to be deaf it got so many dislikes I think he deleted the video couple years ago and he gave them a paper to read and they took the order no questions asked and wrote back the amount. But the second drive thru they went to they were saying he was faking it and he started laughing then he just sped out of the drive thru... They did not have any other people in line either if it was empty so idk why the girl didn’t just write down the order it was there written down.
@@velvetmidnight9535 just because someone fakes a disability (whichis illegal), doesn't give anyone a right to assume all disabilities are fake. It's like if a white guy stole from a store; would it be morally correct for the owner of said store to be rude to all white guys because of it? No. Just because there are fake service dogs out there, does it give a right to businesses to refuse service to a disabeld person with a service dog? Federally, no. Because faking a disability, as well as faking a service dog is as illegal as impersonating a law enforcement officer. And if they hate their job, they need to get a new one instead of taking it out on customers, especially disabled customers. There is no excuse for insulting someone apart from the person who is doing it is a disgusting person who should not be working with people in general.
VelvetMidnight you act like deaf people are rare or something... tbh if restaurants were more accommodating they’d probably see a lot more people who can’t speak, im sure plenty avoid these places for exactly this reason
riiiightttt i would just give them the food and how would you know if he is deaf or not u are getting the money for the food so why not do yur job and respekt them argh
When I worked at Sonic, I remember a deaf couple coming and I took their order on paper, and while their food was being made I looked up how to sign "Have a nice day". When I did it for them after bringing them their food, their smiles were better than any tip I made the entire time I worked there.
I used to work at a builders merchants, one day we got a phone call, it was odd - The phone rang, then it rang again, the man spoke and said he was translating, whilst talking to the customer through an online chat and dictating what he said. I gave the man my time. He then apparently drove to our shop, 3 hours from his home (In the UK, that's half the country...) to purchase the goods from us, because I gave him my time, and didn't hang up the phone. He didn't need to do that, there were at least 50 shops selling the same item as us closer to home for him. That was the day I truly learned the struggles of deaf people. They just want to be heard and respected like everyone else. As they should be. Thanks for sharing your videos. It really does help the abled to see how hard basic things can be.
This shouldn't be ignored I think other people should understand what it's like being born deaf and see if that person is from another planet.🤔 I don't like it!😡 They should be treated the same way just like people who can hear.😱💯
There are services for this purpose - people who can be your ears and voice, people who can be your eyes. That was probably the voice on the phone, helping as a medium between you and the actual customer
@@jordannowings3035 why does it matter though? We cant let those assholes ruin it for the people who are actually deaf and deserve to be treated with respect. Like, what's the worst that can happen anyways if they are faking it? You communicate via phone or pen and paper, they get their food just like an actual deaf person would, and they're on their way. They arent going to get free food just for being deaf, so for real, what's the problem?
My heart is hurting and we didn’t even get to see the whole “rejection”. I have a deaf friend who showed me this and I can’t imagine what he's gone through his whole life...
I used to work at Tim Hortons. I was at the window, and was taught to be as fast as possible regardless of how it affects our customer's experience. A deaf guy pulled up to the window, and I was forced to stop being so fast. I took his order since he had it on his phone. His order was taking "too long" according to my manager and she got all pissed at me because our times were suffering due to this guy that couldnt hear. I felt like shit because of my manager yelling at me, and how she had absolutely no sympathy for the guy. I can imagine the shit deaf people have to deal with on the day to day just based on that experience.
As a canuck, all those drive thru timers can go down the toilet, for all I care. 22 seconds per order, seems to be the average at most places. On slow days I've had managers get in the car and loop through ordering canned soft drinks, and do that repeatedly, to keep their numbers up, or so they didn't look as bad as the other franchises in the area... They don't care that accessibility to service is not only moral, but usually mandated. I give everyone as much time, as they need.
yeah. hes had to deal with ableism his whole life and unfortunately, that kind of desensitizes you to these "smaller" kind of acts of discrimination/microaggressions. for a person who hasnt had that desensitization, its easier to be appalled at how little decency and how unwilling to put any effort in people can show.
@@rosespuffpuff when you're deaf, you can't hear your own voice or the voice from others and we learn speaking through listening. he makes those sounds when he moves his mouth and that shows he actually talks while doing sign-language but he can't hear it and don't know how to say it or how it should sound. hope it's understandable what i said^^
That one guy that started the shift and they sent him to deal with you guys, he needs a raise or something, the only one who put in the work and actually cared about you guys.
Not to mention throwing it away and remaking it only hurts them on the end bc they're only getting paid for one and loosing the ingredients and money for two.
@@SignDuoChannel I came across your channel just from this video but I'm already subscribed and I really like how you have some one who cares I have a friend who is deaf and know one cares so she I came her friend she was soo happy but it took a while because I could not understand her but I finally understand her now
@@camtwan1 Then turn it to the brightest screen to the max should litterally be enough to be readable, unless he has a crappy phone that is like the gameboy's screens from the 1999.
Why not just go inside? They can give you more time and slow it down for you.(Unlike the drive thru which is made for a fast convenience) They had plenty of time to sit outside, I'm sure it would have been easier to order it like eVeRyBoDy eLse. Dramatized for views. GJ
i had a deaf regular at the mcdonalds i worked at and he just typed out his order in notes app, showed it to me, i put it in. everything was smooth and he was always really nice
👑Yes, that's why it's called a drive through for people who don't have to come in and order and who's in a rush but none of that really matters since McDonald's takes long 2 serve the food anyways👑
Honestly. The drive thru is for fast service and it's supposed to be quick and easy. It's not fair that something that's meant to be the most accessible isn't accessible to everyone.
Thats how everyone should act. Showing how badly the others are acting is why these videos are being made. Hopefully more will be more understanding and kind like the 1 that did act so understanding and kindly.
When I worked at taco bell I always took people with disabilities very seriously, when the deaf came in and ordered on there piece of paper, I would give a thumbs up to let them know there ready to pay and they'd pay and thank me in sign language. I always smiled when they came to order because there always super positive people. When there food is done I'd always delivered there food to there table directly and they smile back. It's not really anything special honestly but they make my day.
The rage I feel at this is unbelievable. Even if he was faking it, taking an order off the phone isnt hard. Its infuriating. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry you have to deal with people like this.
From experience, I can tell you that taking an order off of a phone is EXTREMELY tedious and difficult unless you take it and hold it yourself. They were being extremely problematic when the girl could’ve just told them the order
@@shadowhawkrine1947 I can tell you from experience, did such calls all the time in IT support, which is a wee bit more complex than ordering fries, a burger and a drink or two. If my half-deaf ass can do it through -45 db of hearing loss and tinnitus, someone allegedly able bodied should be able to as well. Rather than bringing a minder to do things for one, as you'd hobble others with. Tell me, when my hearing flags more, since my wife of over 41 years is dead, who do I bring as a minder to do my ordering for me? Or am I just to starve, like a meek little disabled veteran should? Or lose patience entirely, given at my age, life without the possibility of parole and the death penalty hold very little deterrent value...
It’s reasonable to suspect that though. He’s probably thinking it’s either a prank otherwise he could just come inside to order. Drive thru pranks are super common, I probably would’ve been suspicious as well.
@@misters1r900 But that kind of "prank" isn't malicious or anything. Like, how would that waste their time or whatever? You know? They wasted their own damn time throwing the food away. I'm surprised McDonalds doesn't have some training with this. Do they really think deaf people don't want the convenience of a drive through?
The guy paid, the guy is deaf. Why does it matter if he's deaf? He paid/going to pay for his food then give him his food lol. It's none of your goddamn business anymore on what he's doing.
And what’s so difficult about them reading the screen and typing in the order and then writing down how much you owe?? Ridiculous. I used to have a deaf customer come into our pet store with a Boogie Board and I would write messages back to him to recommend new foods for his pet. It’s really not any more difficult than just talking and it’s common decency. I’m sorry they treated you like this.
My friend experienced this one time while working and she got in trouble for taking their phone and putting in the order her manager told her its policy not to take orders that are not verbal through drive thru for some reasons for protection of the employees idk
Mya Arriaga it’s weird because right on the speaker where you order at McDonalds it says “if you are hearing or vision impaired please pull forward to the window” yet they don’t really help at the window 🧐
I work at McDonald’s and this deaf lady comes every week. She either places a mobile order or she has someone in the car speak for her. Never had any issues
But that's the thing. Not every deaf person should be expected to make a mobile order before they go to a restaurant. If able-bodied people can do it, why are people with disabilities being judged for doing the same thing? Just because it's inconvenient? People shouldn't be judged based on whether or not they bring "inconvenience" to us. My bad if this wasn't your intention, I just wanted to expand on your point because I think people might take it the wrong way.
When my granddaughter was 16, she worked for Brahms Ice Cream Store in the drive through. A deaf person would come through and write down their order. My granddaughter wanted so desperately to talk to this person so she took it upon herself to learn just enough ASL to communicate with the person who frequented the store. On the day the person returned, my granddaughter spoke in ASL and the person was so excited they cried. Later, my granddaughter received a raise and promotion because the person wrote management and told of the effort she had put in to communicate with them. I was so proud of her!
Why tf would the employees think he's faking his disability? Like out of all the places to fake a disability why would someone go through a drive thru??
Fr like it’s not like it’s rlly rare to be deaf or maybe blind etc. like people have these disabilities you should take it seriously no matter if u think they r faking or not you have a job and you need to be responsible
I feel you. My son is autistic and non verbal, he tries his best to communicate with people but over the years many have either laughed at him or ignored him. Breaks my heart for him. Its unacceptable , people need more educating and understanding
probably doesn't help that it's now a popular prank to troll drive through employees... and it makes it worse with people with actual challenges to be taken seriously
Prank or not, their behaviors is actually why people are filming these kinds of videos....to bring awareness on how they treat deaf people. Assuming they're faking it and stuff is so rude.
He wrote down his order on his phone. I don’t understand what was so hard about just putting that order in. They didn’t even need to know SL. They were just being assholes.
Claudia Herrera i take ASL at the moment and it’s not fun just because of the teacher. I believe it would be better if we didn’t have a bitchy teacher tbh.
This video is really old and I’m late but I remember working in retail and I was walking around asking if people needed help. I came up to this lady who motioned that she was deaf. I don’t know sign language but wanted her to know that help was there if she needed. I printed off a blank piece of receipt paper asking if she needed help finding anything. We did our best air writing letters and she asked my opinion, holding up shirts and I gave a thumbs up or down if I liked it. My manager thought it was a wholesome interaction and I got a special discount for it, but to me I was just helping the way I would for anyone else. 4 years later, I hope he’s not dealing with too much of this.
well, people don't usually meet deaf people and when I did once I actually spoke even though she couldn't hear me and I kinda felt awkward and idk I didn't know what to do because I've never had to deal with that before.
Yeah but at the same time, YOU JUST BOUGHT FOOD RIGHT?!?!? SO WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE BUYING A CONSUMER PRODUCT DOESN'T MATTER AND THAT MONEY DOESN'T EITHER! EAT THE FAMN FOOD FOR GODS SAKE! AND PLEASE DON'T WASTE SOMETHING YOU JUST BOUGHT! I just don't really see a point in doing this stuff including the part where she said that this is for the viewers, if it's really for the viewers then you need to go to the full extent and have other people understand that deaf people might have to go through this stuff. Us the viewers need to feel how hard it really is to live this type of way even if it is the small things in life like a hamburger. But yeah just an interesting video in all.
Mr. spicy ice of you watched the video, he ordered two but only got one, he wasn’t going to waste the burger, she was simply saying she’d get him a better one instead of dealing with trying to get the one they forgot to give him. He literally ate the burger. Why are you so hostile?
Mr. spicy ice yeah, definitely, though they’re burdening themselves by spending their precious time to make a video for them. It’s the viewers that shouldn’t make them do this burdensome task. Although we may now understand the circumstances, it’s still hits me in the back of the head in which if I were the viewer who asked that, I’d genuinely feel terrible for putting them through this.
"He's faking" ah yes, because sign language is SO easy to learn and you just kinda do it to irritate McDonald's employees 🤦🏻♂️ I'd just say, fine, I'll go somewhere else and you've just lost a customer.
Real representation of unintelligent individuals and they represent all McDonald’s employees... wether or not some McDonald’s employees are smart they still represent the whole due to viral videos.
Me I have a learning disability and now I was hit by a big truck and dragged 38 ft under the truck and got a whole fresh list of disabilities. I use to be someone had a home A wife a few toys . And list it all but my wife is now my sister in law. Times I just...
Nicolas Bruh, one I went to McDonalds and there was just this random newborn baby lying on the floor. I asked an employee about it and they said it was a dude just being a baby.
Heyla. I've been blind for a few years. I know precisely what you are going through. The most aggravating thing is pople not BELIEVING m! I mean, how can you ignore the guy who walks into the edge of the door? Bless you, dude. You are a hero. Carry on.
The first employee and the guy who came to your window were really kind. "He can't hear you, he's deaf!" That was really nice of her to take his disability SO seriously. The manager was so rude.
Hearing that employee said "he's faking it" and then finding out they threw away your order made me feel sick to my stomach... When I worked as a receptionist, the delivery man was deaf and it only made me WANT to learn ASL so I could properly thank him.
Just wanted to say that even though this was 4 years ago, I’m glad there’s people like you trying to inform people on the struggles of being deaf, I really hope people like these workers end up learning a thing or two in ASL
Exactly. Refusing service on the basis of a disability or asking them to use a different service because it is more convenient for the restaurant is discrimination and can lead to way more trouble for a business than the "inconvenience" of helping them.
@@flamics actually no. You have to give the company a chance to fix the issue 1st. You have any idea how many frivolous lawsuits would be jamming the system if the 1st option was lawsuit?
@@mikemarek6243 actually, I said that because people do that and think that way. I wasn’t implying I’d do it at all. Many people do jump straight to lawsuit, but never commit
I don’t understand why the cashier couldn’t just read the order on his iPhone screen and just treat it like every order she got that day. Are the employees not allowed to read? It’s so weird and disrespectful to this young man who did nothing wrong. I hope that at the very least someone from corporate apologized to him and retrained the staff at that location. I work retail and I’ve had a few deaf customers in my store, but every time they would tap on their ear I knew that meant they were hearing impaired, and I just ring them up and did what I always do, it didn’t affect any part of the transaction, as customers with any disabilities don’t affect any part of my job. I’m glad that my work wouldn’t treat someone with hearing difficulties like this.
The part about the cashier, I think it's because you are supposed to order at the intercom and just pass by the window to get your things and pay. Also because is an unusual situation, so probably she thought would be better to ask her manager.
@@JO-bo4yx I don't blame her. She was doing her job. When you work for someone and specially if your "superior" is close to you and he is an asshole like this guy on the video , you just don't want to mess things up.
@@felipesv8866 eh she called the "superior" in the first place which was unnecessary,and yea of course she would have to do it differently, he is death, he gave her his order, she acted like she couldn't read
@@felipesv8866 and he COULDN'T order at the intercom🤦🏾♀️why ask the manager? She acted like this was so confusing and hard to take the order she needs to learn how to handle this better, and so does the manager
Gotta say, huge props to the employee who actually cared. He took you seriously, and made sure that you got your food after his coworkers made substantial efforts to make sure you wouldn't get what you ordered. He showed basic human decency that the rest of them wouldn't.
It's sad we have to give praise to those that treat others as human, I think ASL should be a special in middle school/elementary (like music/art/gym) and a required class throughout high school like the other standard classes (History, Math, etc)
Are you kidding? Huge props for doing their job? No wonder why we have millions of lazy shits who want to work from home or do not want to come out. Give them a stimulus check, a mask and a vaccine shot and tell them to sit in the corner and stop taping this shit. DEAL OR NO DEAL
@@mrautomatic9087 it's more like, huge props to the one guy who was a good person and cared, rather than being a horrible person, who gets pissed at everything, like you
That really warmed my heart when she said that and it looked like he didnt even hesitate whatsoever he just said yeah I just want to be able to go through, I think they're going to stay a happy couple and truly will have kids someday and get married
Same thing I thought. No reason needed. If it was down to me. I would have a bunch of people go thru the drive-thru with their orders on paper as a way to protest.
I bet you some people are shocked a deaf person can drive. It's a lack of education and lack of wantimg to inform yourself. I'm really disappointed at the employees, like... What's the problem? Are they not able to read his phone and just take the order? It's an over complication of a something really simple.
@@TophMajora Well, honestly, I was really surprised to see that a deaf person can drive (I had to look it up). I just think hearing is an important part of driving safely. I can imagine not being able to hear other people beeping their horns could be potentially very dangerous
I've never consumed any media that was made for educational reasons by deaf people and randomly got this video recommended from four years ago. I couldn't stop watching it, way past my lunch time at work (work from home) and got teared up a little. I feel like I'm gonna be watching a lot more from you, very interested to see how the experience has changed in the past 4 years since this was uploaded.
Yes. It was VERY wrong to throw away his food and accuse him of faking is deafness, but to make the employees job easier and to make you get food faster the girl could’ve ordered for him. Just my opinion plz don’t hate
@@lilyfrazier1669 I think he wanted her to see how it's hard when he's alone. At least is what I interpret for the dialog or before they are served or after.(he also say that's why he a lot of times don't like being outside, because of situations like this) He says 'usually you're my interpreter but when I'm by my self, if I use paper they treat me different comparing with a cellphone' (it's not the exact words but similar if I remember correctly) In the beginning also thought she can order but them I understood the objective.
Yeah, you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe someone is faking it as a youtube prank, maybe they deal with stupid teens screwing around late at night, but you have to go in thinking that if someone tells you that they're deaf then they're telling the truth.
From my own personal experience of living with mobility issues, a lot of times it's less about their ability to accommodate and more about their willingness.
@@kpopnoonanikki9211 yes I understand, it just upsets me so much that they didn't believe him. And I am sorry if you have ever been treated like that, it's just so horrible.
When I worked at the casino near me and I was handling hundreds of people in the span of an hour, I had a gentleman fake ASL to me. Me, not knowing hardly any, went to call for my coworker which is when he dropped the act. He was kind but my God did I panic a bit, especially since his body language came off as irritated at the time. That experience, however brief and trivial, made me want to learn ASL so that I can communicate with whoever might need it. I love seeing people's faces when they're happy to be served in a way that feels unique and personal ❤️ Regardless, establishments should have people on hand who know different methods of communication and should make use of these people when necessary. If there isn't someone who can help accommodate, then they should strive to do the best that they can. Proper training is important, understanding and awareness is important.
Who would fake being deaf, that just doesn't make any sense. This kind of people (non-accomodating, rude, unprofessional....) shouldn't work with people
Yeah typically people only fake things that get them benefits - like people faking that their dog is a service dog so they can bring them with them. People don't typically fake things that actually makes their life harder with no benefit!
I'm mute because of trauma and dysphoria and just overwhelmingly bad mental health and the sign for mute isn't known at all to the majority of the public and loads of people have a go at me for not talking so once or twice when I don't want to deal with bs i sign deaf instead of mute because its more commonly known and people get off my back. I feel really bad but people just don't understand mutism and often i just want people to get out of my face. I don't like doing it because i feel like I'm being disrespectful but at the same time it's the only way people take my mutism seriously. Does that make me a bad person or is it justified?
Unfortunately, that's the main type of person they hire at grocery stores and fast food places anymore. When I was a teenager and a younger guy, typically very nice teenagers and older people worked in those places. Now it's just a bunch of rude a**holes who don't care about the customer's experience at all. Nine times out of ten, when I thank them for handing me my food, they just ignore me. The manager in this particular video should be fired for his very bad take on the situation.
This is really heartbreaking. I know the world often doesnt accommodate anyone "different" than what they perceive as the "norm" but you made it so simple using your phone. They were actual jerks. I cant imagine being so like adamant on not serving someone and treating them decent when they themselves are decent. You deserved a better experience.
TheCat WithNoHat right! I always wanted to learn the language but the US sucks by not making these kinds of languages implemented in the school system , make it affordable to learn or accessible for people .
I'd send an email to headquarters and report the whole scenario you have proof of the situation. It's just bull that manager should lose his job. That's discrimination.
Also note about the guy who served you if you do! He deserves a raise for still making sure you at least got some of your food and treated you like an actual person.
This is like when someone types in the chat that they can't here the audio in an online class, and then the teacher verbally gives them instructions of how to fix it.
Im an ex McDonald's worker, we had a regular who was deaf. I worked as a cashier so I learned basic ASL to be able to communicate with him. He started crying and now I understand why. I'm so sorry youre treated differently 💗
That's so amazing and inspiring that you took the time to learn it for him. Most people don't put the effort. And it really meant a lot to him. Good on you!
@@shannonr4360 thank you, I try and bring even the smallest bit of happiness to others. Trying to make someone's experience more comfortable means a lot to me, I always try and make others happy.
I’ve had a ton of people who were hard of hearing or fully deaf and I have never ever ever thought that someone was faking it. That is so disrespectful. I try my best to help them to the best of my ability and I don’t care if it holds up the line because I would never want someone to feel as if they are not welcome in a public place because of their differences.
Wow, thanks for the video. I was born deaf too and I completely understand how frustrating is ordering in the Drive Thru, I only felt comfortable going in the drive thru when I had company, not alone because of this uncomfortable reason. My respects, and your lucky for having a great and strong girlfirend who supports you. Im 30 and I never had a boyfriend, I had to go through everything by myself, however just like you said, had to learn to take everything with calm and be stronger... Btw, you should totally report that establishment, that shouldn´t be allowed for any reason.
It's just natural response to use our voice to reply, same as a deaf person continuing to use sign language while speaking to a clerk. Nothing wrong with either, it takes extra effort to stop oneself, further hindering a more difficult interaction for both. Also, maybe they can read lips, hear/feel some of the base waves. I had a friend through highschool that was deaf and it was definitely easier to communicate if we spoke than if we didn't.
Bro I just randomly got this video on my feed….I went to high school with you my guy. We played lacrosse together. Good to see your doing well! Happy New Years!
You're absolutely right. I've worked in a locally owned restaurant for almost a year now and we never have this many problems when it comes to accommodating for people with disabilities. Absolutely revolting how the employees handled this.
I honestly dont think lazy. I think they are uneducated about how to handle this and they royally messed this one up. Nobody was a jerk. They just handled it poorly. Regarding the "faking it" comment.... havent you seen those many many drive thru prank videos? I think it's natural for them to think that. Now it would have been better if they handled this way differently.
@@beeseebee_ The manager was an asshole though. The only one that bothered with trying not to be an ass was the employee going out there to take the order. No one else wanted to write stuff down or try to communicate.
Crazy how you have to deal with this stuff bro. I’m sorry that people are so ignorant to those around them. This was also humbling for me realizing how I can take something like a drive thru for granted. Blessed to live in this life fr. Wish you guys nothing but the best!! You seem to be very genuine and positive people!!!
I’m 15 years old and I learned so much about the real world. It’s seriously disappointing that workers could be this rude and still keep their jobs. I’m gonna learn ASL just to be as nice as possible to ANY customer I get when I get a job.
Same, I genuinely want to be able to at least have a short conversation in asl so that they don’t feel excluded or have to do more than someone who is hearing.
Y'all know those paper menus that people can bring home? When I worked as a waitress, I would laminate them and bring an expo marker, just in case a deaf customer would come in. I would give the person the menu and marker and have them circle what they want. It was much easier than writing, and had a lot less waste.
Honestly, it broke my heart when Ryan said it was embarrassing for him to put this video out there. The only people who should be embarrassed are those who can't respect people and act in the shameful way some of those employees did.
It broke my heart when he said it’s embarrassing for him. It should be embarrassing for all the stupid unkind people in the world who make it difficult for you. They are the embarrassments. Not you. More power to you! ❤️❤️
My thoughts exactly. I took a lot of embarrassment and mortification upon myself for years as a hard of hearing person. I had hearing aids stuffed in my ear without being accommodated (face me and don't mumble and please speak UP) and was expected to be able to hear and move in the hearing world just like everyone else. Pfft. It doesn't work that way.
Omg, I hope those 2 aholes in the drive thru were fired!!! I am so sorry and utterly disgusted you were treated like that. The guy who took your order at the car seemed like a nice guy.
This video just made me cry im so sorry that people dont accommodate to deaf people i wish restaurants would have a sign language team member at every store for purposes of this your just as human if not more human then the rest of us your such a nice person and so patient i wish you only the best in this world ❤️
@@benextinction__144 Because I have this thing called Hypermobility Syndrome. It affects my joints and makes me more likely to injure them. This makes it incredibly hard to handwrite things. It wasn't disrespectful, don't worry 🙃
What I'm about to say will sound rude and offensive but know that those are not my intentions, both of them talking in sign language doesn't mean much, it could be(Wich is not the case) two people that have no hearing disabilities just faking it, Wich again is not the case, the staff that was really shit, now let's say if it were two people with no disabilities faking it, the staff had no way to confirm it so they should have treated them as such and did everything to their reach to deliver a good service and their order

Hey everyone, I want to thank you all so much for the support. However, please refrain from *any unkind comments* towards the employees. This was not our intention. Our only intention of this video was meant to educate and spread a message of how deaf people might order if they enter your drive through so anyone can be prepared. Thank you all ❤️

I think people should be more kind, honestly. You guys handled it so well with what they were doing.
WWII History we do too, hate is not going to do anything, education and open minds will :)
I've only just come across your channel but I do enjoy the content very much and this video has made me realize how hard it can be to be deaf and i found it really unprofessional how the manager acted twords you in that situation i dont understand why he was so rude it shocked me i found this video eye opening and i hope that the experience is better the next time i wish u both very well and i hope more people see this video
I could tell it was quite a few minutes by the glare of the sun
“He’s probably faking it” .... That wasn't right for him to say smh that so disrespectful.
Yeah. Theres no reason for the manager to say that.
Je4emy absolutely no reason for anyone to say that but for a manager is inappropriate. People are so ignorant at times . Smh
Especially a full grown adult should take it seriously what a disgrace to humanity
Should be fired on the spot
That’s unprofessional. Saying that without any proof. That’s why I don’t have respect on any manager in general from any store. Also supervisor. Most of them are assholes.
"He's faking it"
That was so disrespectful. If they had a disability, whether is be big or small, would the person saying that want others to think he's faking it?

Honestly with the amount of people who mess with the drive thru employees and they usually hate their job.
And the probability of them ever encountering a deaf customer their entire time working there would be 0-1 their entire time there unless they have a regular one there.
So it’s no surprise they would assume that he would be faking it since I think it was the guy who came it when he’s just asking him to write it down. And remember they don’t know sign language so all the guy sees is him giving him a sign to write it down. And the girls saying he can’t hear you.
I’ve seen a video of a kid pretending to be deaf it got so many dislikes I think he deleted the video couple years ago and he gave them a paper to read and they took the order no questions asked and wrote back the amount.
But the second drive thru they went to they were saying he was faking it and he started laughing then he just sped out of the drive thru...
They did not have any other people in line either if it was empty so idk why the girl didn’t just write down the order it was there written down.
VelvetMidnight Fast food employees doesn’t get paid enough to deal with the bullshit some people bring
@@velvetmidnight9535 just because someone fakes a disability (whichis illegal), doesn't give anyone a right to assume all disabilities are fake. It's like if a white guy stole from a store; would it be morally correct for the owner of said store to be rude to all white guys because of it? No. Just because there are fake service dogs out there, does it give a right to businesses to refuse service to a disabeld person with a service dog? Federally, no. Because faking a disability, as well as faking a service dog is as illegal as impersonating a law enforcement officer.
And if they hate their job, they need to get a new one instead of taking it out on customers, especially disabled customers. There is no excuse for insulting someone apart from the person who is doing it is a disgusting person who should not be working with people in general.
VelvetMidnight you act like deaf people are rare or something... tbh if restaurants were more accommodating they’d probably see a lot more people who can’t speak, im sure plenty avoid these places for exactly this reason
That's discrimination.
Even IF he was faking being deaf, they should’ve still respected him.

I hope that this video gets sent to corporate so they can make that manager retrain all his staff (including himself)
Fast-food workers see and receive a lot of needless hassle, like getting used for content, so I can understand thinking it's a prank.
honestly, even if someone does fake being deaf, give them their damn food.
riiiightttt i would just give them the food and how would you know if he is deaf or not u are getting the money for the food so why not do yur job and respekt them argh
Exactly. They dont need to know if someone is deaf or not to do their freaking job. It's just terrible.

When I worked at Sonic, I remember a deaf couple coming and I took their order on paper, and while their food was being made I looked up how to sign "Have a nice day". When I did it for them after bringing them their food, their smiles were better than any tip I made the entire time I worked there.
That's nice 😊

Yeah I wonder if she was fired yet
I used to work at a builders merchants, one day we got a phone call, it was odd - The phone rang, then it rang again, the man spoke and said he was translating, whilst talking to the customer through an online chat and dictating what he said. I gave the man my time. He then apparently drove to our shop, 3 hours from his home (In the UK, that's half the country...) to purchase the goods from us, because I gave him my time, and didn't hang up the phone. He didn't need to do that, there were at least 50 shops selling the same item as us closer to home for him. That was the day I truly learned the struggles of deaf people.
They just want to be heard and respected like everyone else. As they should be.
Thanks for sharing your videos. It really does help the abled to see how hard basic things can be.
This shouldn't be ignored I think other people should understand what it's like being born deaf and see if that person is from another planet.🤔 I don't like it!😡 They should be treated the same way just like people who can hear.😱💯
There are services for this purpose - people who can be your ears and voice, people who can be your eyes. That was probably the voice on the phone, helping as a medium between you and the actual customer
“He’s probably faking it” ... “Sorry man they told me to go downstairs then they threw your order away so I had to put it in again” ... INFURIATING
Seriously corporate would be called immediately!! Jerks.
No but really people come in and fake it all the time
Jordann Owings so what. Treat every individual as though they weren’t anyways.
@@jordannowings3035 why does it matter though? We cant let those assholes ruin it for the people who are actually deaf and deserve to be treated with respect. Like, what's the worst that can happen anyways if they are faking it? You communicate via phone or pen and paper, they get their food just like an actual deaf person would, and they're on their way. They arent going to get free food just for being deaf, so for real, what's the problem?
Why would someone fake having a disability though? To be funny?
My heart is hurting and we didn’t even get to see the whole “rejection”. I have a deaf friend who showed me this and I can’t imagine what he's gone through his whole life...

I used to work at Tim Hortons. I was at the window, and was taught to be as fast as possible regardless of how it affects our customer's experience. A deaf guy pulled up to the window, and I was forced to stop being so fast. I took his order since he had it on his phone. His order was taking "too long" according to my manager and she got all pissed at me because our times were suffering due to this guy that couldnt hear. I felt like shit because of my manager yelling at me, and how she had absolutely no sympathy for the guy. I can imagine the shit deaf people have to deal with on the day to day just based on that experience.
As a canuck, all those drive thru timers can go down the toilet, for all I care. 22 seconds per order, seems to be the average at most places. On slow days I've had managers get in the car and loop through ordering canned soft drinks, and do that repeatedly, to keep their numbers up, or so they didn't look as bad as the other franchises in the area... They don't care that accessibility to service is not only moral, but usually mandated. I give everyone as much time, as they need.
She clearly was more upset than him... That's how connected they are...
yeah. hes had to deal with ableism his whole life and unfortunately, that kind of desensitizes you to these "smaller" kind of acts of discrimination/microaggressions. for a person who hasnt had that desensitization, its easier to be appalled at how little decency and how unwilling to put any effort in people can show.
Those employees should get fired

@@rosespuffpuff when you're deaf, you can't hear your own voice or the voice from others and we learn speaking through listening. he makes those sounds when he moves his mouth and that shows he actually talks while doing sign-language but he can't hear it and don't know how to say it or how it should sound.

Ok but why is no one talking about that guy who delivered the food to them.. He was so nice and I hope he gets a better job in the future.

Thats how everyone should act.
Showing how badly the others are acting is why these videos are being made. Hopefully more will be more understanding and kind like the 1 that did act so understanding and kindly.
When I worked at taco bell I always took people with disabilities very seriously, when the deaf came in and ordered on there piece of paper, I would give a thumbs up to let them know there ready to pay and they'd pay and thank me in sign language. I always smiled when they came to order because there always super positive people. When there food is done I'd always delivered there food to there table directly and they smile back. It's not really anything special honestly but they make my day.
he acted like a decent human lol.
The girl too she was trying to explain to the other two what was happening and they just blew her off
“He can’t hear you.”
Not even 1 second after: “Oh ok is it ok if you order inside instead?”
LMAAOOOO
WHAT ARE YOU!
AN IDIOT SANDWICH CHEF
Oh no he wants a deaf man to hear him very logical
The rage I feel at this is unbelievable. Even if he was faking it, taking an order off the phone isnt hard.
Its infuriating. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry you have to deal with people like this.
Thank you for your kind comment
From experience, I can tell you that taking an order off of a phone is EXTREMELY tedious and difficult unless you take it and hold it yourself. They were being extremely problematic when the girl could’ve just told them the order
Ideally, they should be able to take an order via internet or a TDD line call.
@@shadowhawkrine1947 I can tell you from experience, did such calls all the time in IT support, which is a wee bit more complex than ordering fries, a burger and a drink or two. If my half-deaf ass can do it through -45 db of hearing loss and tinnitus, someone allegedly able bodied should be able to as well.
Rather than bringing a minder to do things for one, as you'd hobble others with.
Tell me, when my hearing flags more, since my wife of over 41 years is dead, who do I bring as a minder to do my ordering for me? Or am I just to starve, like a meek little disabled veteran should?
Or lose patience entirely, given at my age, life without the possibility of parole and the death penalty hold very little deterrent value...
@ Order inside like an intelligent person. I’m not saying that you can’t order, I’m saying to be SENSIBLE and go inside to order.
When he said “he’s probably faking it” that literally pissed me off.
It’s reasonable to suspect that though. He’s probably thinking it’s either a prank otherwise he could just come inside to order. Drive thru pranks are super common, I probably would’ve been suspicious as well.
@@misters1r900 But that kind of "prank" isn't malicious or anything. Like, how would that waste their time or whatever? You know? They wasted their own damn time throwing the food away. I'm surprised McDonalds doesn't have some training with this. Do they really think deaf people don't want the convenience of a drive through?
Same
*has never seen a dead person*
Same
The guy paid, the guy is deaf. Why does it matter if he's deaf? He paid/going to pay for his food then give him his food lol. It's none of your goddamn business anymore on what he's doing.
And what’s so difficult about them reading the screen and typing in the order and then writing down how much you owe?? Ridiculous. I used to have a deaf customer come into our pet store with a Boogie Board and I would write messages back to him to recommend new foods for his pet. It’s really not any more difficult than just talking and it’s common decency. I’m sorry they treated you like this.
I honestly would rather do that i hate talking to people 😂
My friend experienced this one time while working and she got in trouble for taking their phone and putting in the order her manager told her its policy not to take orders that are not verbal through drive thru for some reasons for protection of the employees idk
Mya Arriaga That’s strange. I wonder why. Does anyone else know anything about this?
Mya Arriaga it’s weird because right on the speaker where you order at McDonalds it says “if you are hearing or vision impaired please pull forward to the window” yet they don’t really help at the window 🧐
Same !!!
I work at McDonald’s and this deaf lady comes every week. She either places a mobile order or she has someone in the car speak for her. Never had any issues
But that's the thing. Not every deaf person should be expected to make a mobile order before they go to a restaurant. If able-bodied people can do it, why are people with disabilities being judged for doing the same thing? Just because it's inconvenient? People shouldn't be judged based on whether or not they bring "inconvenience" to us. My bad if this wasn't your intention, I just wanted to expand on your point because I think people might take it the wrong way.
Yo respect to that one young guy who just clocked in and was just tryna do his job and did it better than his own manager.
Yeah, that guy deserves a high pay job, that's safe, if McDonald's isn't.

probably doesn't help that it's now a popular prank to troll drive through employees... and it makes it worse with people with actual challenges to be taken seriously
They probably seen the cameras too. How many employees spot cameras in the car when they're getting pranked

This video is really old and I’m late but I remember working in retail and I was walking around asking if people needed help. I came up to this lady who motioned that she was deaf. I don’t know sign language but wanted her to know that help was there if she needed. I printed off a blank piece of receipt paper asking if she needed help finding anything. We did our best air writing letters and she asked my opinion, holding up shirts and I gave a thumbs up or down if I liked it. My manager thought it was a wholesome interaction and I got a special discount for it, but to me I was just helping the way I would for anyone else. 4 years later, I hope he’s not dealing with too much of this.
him: i'm deaf
employee: oh okay. so can you go to the yellow line?
him: *i can't hear you*
well, people don't usually meet deaf people and when I did once I actually spoke even though she couldn't hear me and I kinda felt awkward and idk I didn't know what to do because I've never had to deal with that before.

Mr. spicy ice of you watched the video, he ordered two but only got one, he wasn’t going to waste the burger, she was simply saying she’d get him a better one instead of dealing with trying to get the one they forgot to give him. He literally ate the burger. Why are you so hostile?
Mr. spicy ice I’m not trying to argue because you seem angry about something. Hope you have a great night.
Mr. spicy ice yeah, definitely, though they’re burdening themselves by spending their precious time to make a video for them. It’s the viewers that shouldn’t make them do this burdensome task.

@@shroom1912 she is faking it the baby is a paid actor
" He's faking it " EVEN IF HE WAS WHAT'S THE POINT YOU'RE HERE TO TAKE THE ORDERS OF PEOPLE WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE OMG 😑😑😑
Exactly my point, plus he's still paying for the food like wtf, people piss me off smh
As someone who once worked in food service, this was appalling to watch. I'd have those employees written up so fast. 😑
yeah we agree! I was ready to pay lol
Courtney Lee written up?? I’m a manager at a shop and I’d FIRE an employee if I saw or heard disrespect.
@@kristine7893 I wasn't in the position to fire, lol.
Heyla. I've been blind for a few years. I know precisely what you are going through. The most aggravating thing is pople not BELIEVING m! I mean, how can you ignore the guy who walks into the edge of the door? Bless you, dude. You are a hero. Carry on.
The first employee and the guy who came to your window were really kind. "He can't hear you, he's deaf!" That was really nice of her to take his disability SO seriously. The manager was so rude.
Maybe managers are tired of pranks, esp car has so many cameras and do not have a disability tag..
@@Songs-lr4wt I mean I guess, but it’s better to serve a fake deaf person instead of ignoring the real ones, yknow?
Couldn't agree more
she was laughing under her breath. that was a joke for her
@@anabellegamboa2855 Some people laugh when they’re super nervous/don’t know what to do. I do a lot. It’s a REALLY bad habit.
Hearing that employee said "he's faking it" and then finding out they threw away your order made me feel sick to my stomach... When I worked as a receptionist, the delivery man was deaf and it only made me WANT to learn ASL so I could properly thank him.
What time
Exactly!! Plus those signs are so simple! Please and thank you are such easy every day signs and more people ought to know in cases like this.
That was rude. First they judge him: "He's faking it," then they throw his order away? Wtf..
And they only gave him 1 burger and charged for 2-
If I was there and they did that to my dad I will sue mcdonald's
That's America for you
It's probably because there's a huge ass camera on the dashboard pointed to them.
@@extramayo5437 yeah
Just wanted to say that even though this was 4 years ago, I’m glad there’s people like you trying to inform people on the struggles of being deaf, I really hope people like these workers end up learning a thing or two in ASL
"Why won't you just go inside to order?"
Well, exactly why people invented drive thrus. So they people can just "drive through".
Exactly. Refusing service on the basis of a disability or asking them to use a different service because it is more convenient for the restaurant is discrimination and can lead to way more trouble for a business than the "inconvenience" of helping them.
@@buckeyehockey1979 yep, if I was deaf and that happened, that would be an easy lawsuit
@@flamics actually no. You have to give the company a chance to fix the issue 1st. You have any idea how many frivolous lawsuits would be jamming the system if the 1st option was lawsuit?
@@mikemarek6243 actually, I said that because people do that and think that way. I wasn’t implying I’d do it at all. Many people do jump straight to lawsuit, but never commit
They should have the monitors where you just select your order in drive through (like the ones inside) instead of talking to a person.
I don’t understand why the cashier couldn’t just read the order on his iPhone screen and just treat it like every order she got that day. Are the employees not allowed to read? It’s so weird and disrespectful to this young man who did nothing wrong. I hope that at the very least someone from corporate apologized to him and retrained the staff at that location. I work retail and I’ve had a few deaf customers in my store, but every time they would tap on their ear I knew that meant they were hearing impaired, and I just ring them up and did what I always do, it didn’t affect any part of the transaction, as customers with any disabilities don’t affect any part of my job. I’m glad that my work wouldn’t treat someone with hearing difficulties like this.
The part about the cashier, I think it's because you are supposed to order at the intercom and just pass by the window to get your things and pay. Also because is an unusual situation, so probably she thought would be better to ask her manager.
@@felipesv8866 but still very unnecessary
@@JO-bo4yx I don't blame her. She was doing her job. When you work for someone and specially if your "superior" is close to you and he is an asshole like this guy on the video , you just don't want to mess things up.
@@felipesv8866 eh she called the "superior" in the first place which was unnecessary,and yea of course she would have to do it differently, he is death, he gave her his order, she acted like she couldn't read
@@felipesv8866 and he COULDN'T order at the intercom🤦🏾♀️why ask the manager? She acted like this was so confusing and hard to take the order she needs to learn how to handle this better, and so does the manager
Gotta say, huge props to the employee who actually cared. He took you seriously, and made sure that you got your food after his coworkers made substantial efforts to make sure you wouldn't get what you ordered. He showed basic human decency that the rest of them wouldn't.
I love seeing people like that, who are just genuinely nice
Yes, I truly appreciated his service and I might or might not have tipped him off camera 😊
It's sad we have to give praise to those that treat others as human, I think ASL should be a special in middle school/elementary (like music/art/gym) and a required class throughout high school like the other standard classes (History, Math, etc)
Are you kidding? Huge props for doing their job? No wonder why we have millions of lazy shits who want to work from home or do not want to come out. Give them a stimulus check, a mask and a vaccine shot and tell them to sit in the corner and stop taping this shit. DEAL OR NO DEAL
@@mrautomatic9087 it's more like, huge props to the one guy who was a good person and cared, rather than being a horrible person, who gets pissed at everything, like you
I couldn’t understand anything what he was signing but I still watched the whole thing. He’s so calm and quiet 😭
subtitles say
She said "when we have kids"
*true love right there* folks
That really warmed my heart when she said that and it looked like he didnt even hesitate whatsoever he just said yeah I just want to be able to go through, I think they're going to stay a happy couple and truly will have kids someday and get married
@@jaydenhalcovitch7116 they better I'm a sucker for fast love
@@Assassino275 dude what if you had kids they wouldn't have a 100% chance of being stupid just because you are
That is a wrong attitude, his deafness might have just happened, or got a sicknesses that made him deaf!!!
@@Assassino275deaf people are polluting the earth? did you really just imply that disabled people shouldn't procreate?
“Why not just go inside in the first place?”
Idk, the same reasons hearing people want to use the drive thru over going inside?
well like yeah.. Lmao
Same thing I thought. No reason needed. If it was down to me. I would have a bunch of people go thru the drive-thru with their orders on paper as a way to protest.
I bet you some people are shocked a deaf person can drive. It's a lack of education and lack of wantimg to inform yourself.
I'm really disappointed at the employees, like... What's the problem? Are they not able to read his phone and just take the order? It's an over complication of a something really simple.
@@TophMajora Well, honestly, I was really surprised to see that a deaf person can drive (I had to look it up).
I just think hearing is an important part of driving safely. I can imagine not being able to hear other people beeping their horns could be potentially very dangerous
@@Seekerxl this is an awesome idea
I hope those people feel absolutely ashamed for assuming he's faking it.
Hope thay see this video and think "shiiit"
I've never consumed any media that was made for educational reasons by deaf people and randomly got this video recommended from four years ago. I couldn't stop watching it, way past my lunch time at work (work from home) and got teared up a little. I feel like I'm gonna be watching a lot more from you, very interested to see how the experience has changed in the past 4 years since this was uploaded.
This is outrageous. I can’t believe people are still this ignorant and blatantly rude. I’m sorry you have to deal with this, Ryan!
Yes. It was VERY wrong to throw away his food and accuse him of faking is deafness, but to make the employees job easier and to make you get food faster the girl could’ve ordered for him. Just my opinion plz don’t hate
@@lilyfrazier1669 I think he wanted her to see how it's hard when he's alone. At least is what I interpret for the dialog or before they are served or after.(he also say that's why he a lot of times don't like being outside, because of situations like this)
He says 'usually you're my interpreter but when I'm by my self, if I use paper they treat me different comparing with a cellphone' (it's not the exact words but similar if I remember correctly)
In the beginning also thought she can order but them I understood the objective.
Emma Meservy lama woooooman
Is someone says they're deaf, they're deaf. Even is he was "faking it", which he obviously wasn't, they should be able to acomadate everyone.
Yeah, you have to give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe someone is faking it as a youtube prank, maybe they deal with stupid teens screwing around late at night, but you have to go in thinking that if someone tells you that they're deaf then they're telling the truth.
@@OfficialSeth yes exactly.
From my own personal experience of living with mobility issues, a lot of times it's less about their ability to accommodate and more about their willingness.
@@kpopnoonanikki9211 yes I understand, it just upsets me so much that they didn't believe him. And I am sorry if you have ever been treated like that, it's just so horrible.
When I worked at the casino near me and I was handling hundreds of people in the span of an hour, I had a gentleman fake ASL to me. Me, not knowing hardly any, went to call for my coworker which is when he dropped the act. He was kind but my God did I panic a bit, especially since his body language came off as irritated at the time.
That experience, however brief and trivial, made me want to learn ASL so that I can communicate with whoever might need it. I love seeing people's faces when they're happy to be served in a way that feels unique and personal ❤️
Regardless, establishments should have people on hand who know different methods of communication and should make use of these people when necessary. If there isn't someone who can help accommodate, then they should strive to do the best that they can. Proper training is important, understanding and awareness is important.
Who would fake being deaf, that just doesn't make any sense. This kind of people (non-accomodating, rude, unprofessional....) shouldn't work with people
Yeah typically people only fake things that get them benefits - like people faking that their dog is a service dog so they can bring them with them. People don't typically fake things that actually makes their life harder with no benefit!
I'm mute because of trauma and dysphoria and just overwhelmingly bad mental health and the sign for mute isn't known at all to the majority of the public and loads of people have a go at me for not talking so once or twice when I don't want to deal with bs i sign deaf instead of mute because its more commonly known and people get off my back. I feel really bad but people just don't understand mutism and often i just want people to get out of my face. I don't like doing it because i feel like I'm being disrespectful but at the same time it's the only way people take my mutism seriously. Does that make me a bad person or is it justified?
Unfortunately, that's the main type of person they hire at grocery stores and fast food places anymore. When I was a teenager and a younger guy, typically very nice teenagers and older people worked in those places. Now it's just a bunch of rude a**holes who don't care about the customer's experience at all. Nine times out of ten, when I thank them for handing me my food, they just ignore me. The manager in this particular video should be fired for his very bad take on the situation.

This is really heartbreaking. I know the world often doesnt accommodate anyone "different" than what they perceive as the "norm" but you made it so simple using your phone. They were actual jerks. I cant imagine being so like adamant on not serving someone and treating them decent when they themselves are decent. You deserved a better experience.
Duolingo should make an app for learning sign language, because it is a language after all!
TheCat WithNoHat right! I always wanted to learn the language but the US sucks by not making these kinds of languages implemented in the school system , make it affordable to learn or accessible for people .
Id learn it, but I think highschool's teach sign language?
There are different sign languages
Kathy De La Rosa they do it’s just your district
OH MY GOD.
*Intellect.*
I'd send an email to headquarters and report the whole scenario you have proof of the situation. It's just bull that manager should lose his job. That's discrimination.
Send the video as well it would serve as proof
Yes please! Thats pure discrimination, no one should EVER be treated that way ☹️
Also note about the guy who served you if you do! He deserves a raise for still making sure you at least got some of your food and treated you like an actual person.
Yes, he should totally lose his livelihood over the fact he was rude to somebody.
This is like when someone types in the chat that they can't here the audio in an online class, and then the teacher verbally gives them instructions of how to fix it.

Im an ex McDonald's worker, we had a regular who was deaf. I worked as a cashier so I learned basic ASL to be able to communicate with him. He started crying and now I understand why. I'm so sorry youre treated differently 💗
That's so amazing and inspiring that you took the time to learn it for him. Most people don't put the effort. And it really meant a lot to him. Good on you!
@@shannonr4360 thank you, I try and bring even the smallest bit of happiness to others. Trying to make someone's experience more comfortable means a lot to me, I always try and make others happy.
I’ve had a ton of people who were hard of hearing or fully deaf and I have never ever ever thought that someone was faking it. That is so disrespectful. I try my best to help them to the best of my ability and I don’t care if it holds up the line because I would never want someone to feel as if they are not welcome in a public place because of their differences.
Lets just says thanks to the guy who did his best to communicate with him.
Wow, thanks for the video. I was born deaf too and I completely understand how frustrating is ordering in the Drive Thru, I only felt comfortable going in the drive thru when I had company, not alone because of this uncomfortable reason. My respects, and your lucky for having a great and strong girlfirend who supports you. Im 30 and I never had a boyfriend, I had to go through everything by myself, however just like you said, had to learn to take everything with calm and be stronger...
Btw, you should totally report that establishment, that shouldn´t be allowed for any reason.

Own experience as a deaf person
Guy: *clearly deaf*
Employees: *speak expecting he can hear them*
It's really hard to get used to. You would to if you met a deaf person and don't interact with them regularly
Ive had people come to my drive through and I would never treat them like that. I always try my best to understand. Why are people like this
It's just natural response to use our voice to reply, same as a deaf person continuing to use sign language while speaking to a clerk. Nothing wrong with either, it takes extra effort to stop oneself, further hindering a more difficult interaction for both. Also, maybe they can read lips, hear/feel some of the base waves. I had a friend through highschool that was deaf and it was definitely easier to communicate if we spoke than if we didn't.
Bro I just randomly got this video on my feed….I went to high school with you my guy. We played lacrosse together. Good to see your doing well! Happy New Years!
This just seems like a case of lazy employees; Being able to hear isn’t a requirement to want food.
The truest thing I've ever herd
You're absolutely right. I've worked in a locally owned restaurant for almost a year now and we never have this many problems when it comes to accommodating for people with disabilities. Absolutely revolting how the employees handled this.
I honestly dont think lazy. I think they are uneducated about how to handle this and they royally messed this one up. Nobody was a jerk. They just handled it poorly. Regarding the "faking it" comment.... havent you seen those many many drive thru prank videos? I think it's natural for them to think that. Now it would have been better if they handled this way differently.
@@beeseebee_ The manager was an asshole though. The only one that bothered with trying not to be an ass was the employee going out there to take the order. No one else wanted to write stuff down or try to communicate.
I love this because she doesn't care if she is still learning ASL.

I’m 15 years old and I learned so much about the real world. It’s seriously disappointing that workers could be this rude and still keep their jobs. I’m gonna learn ASL just to be as nice as possible to ANY customer I get when I get a job.
Same, I genuinely want to be able to at least have a short conversation in asl so that they don’t feel excluded or have to do more than someone who is hearing.
Same I’m 13 and I learned so mugs bout the world and that there is so many bad disgusting ppl out there but there are still good ones so I try to help
I’m learning ASl, and Spanish^^
Me too!
That's sweet of you!
Y'all know those paper menus that people can bring home? When I worked as a waitress, I would laminate them and bring an expo marker, just in case a deaf customer would come in. I would give the person the menu and marker and have them circle what they want. It was much easier than writing, and had a lot less waste.
That’s such a great idea!!!
Wow I appreciate that thanks for looking out for us
You’re great.Thanks
You are so smart
Omg that’s the same thing my parents did when they owned the Chinese restaurant! O.O
Honestly, it broke my heart when Ryan said it was embarrassing for him to put this video out there. The only people who should be embarrassed are those who can't respect people and act in the shameful way some of those employees did.
Right?
yess
That is a disgusting action of what the workers done , not only were they saying he is faking but threw the food away! What disrespect people show
It broke my heart when he said it’s embarrassing for him. It should be embarrassing for all the stupid unkind people in the world who make it difficult for you. They are the embarrassments. Not you. More power to you! ❤️❤️
Thank you 😌😄
Yeah i agree
It is not embarassing one bit
There mad that he’s handsome and there ugly
My thoughts exactly. I took a lot of embarrassment and mortification upon myself for years as a hard of hearing person. I had hearing aids stuffed in my ear without being accommodated (face me and don't mumble and please speak UP) and was expected to be able to hear and move in the hearing world just like everyone else. Pfft. It doesn't work that way.

Omg, I hope those 2 aholes in the drive thru were fired!!! I am so sorry and utterly disgusted you were treated like that. The guy who took your order at the car seemed like a nice guy.
It’s unbelievably easy for them to just read his order and take his order and just keep it moving
I agree. It literally doesn’t make any sense. Read the phone, type the order into the computer, take payment. Done.
I know we have a customer come through our drive thru all the time with his pad and pen and it’s no issue at all.
