Deaf Woman Suing Jack in the Box

Deaf California woman suing Jack in the Box fast food restaurant for refusing service at drive-thru.

SAN JOSE, California -- ReVae Arnaud-Jensen is not a confrontational woman. She describes herself as a hardworking, responsible, single mother of three.

But, when she tried to order at a Jack in the Box in Campbell on Aug. 31 and the man behind the counter refused her service, as captured on video, she knew she had to stand her ground.

Arnaud-Jensen is profoundly Deaf, no hearing at all. She was born that way. While she can read lips, she could not hear the voice over the speaker.

When she proceeded to the next window to explain, the employee was angry that she was not responding. She stayed for two hours and never got her order.

"I was just fed up, the constant, you know, telling us to go, to go, when it should be equal access," she said.

There are approximately 40 million people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing in the United States. Arnaud-Jensen says she is fighting for the entire community. It's one of the reasons why she posted the video on Facebook.

"I don't like confrontation, but I fight for equal access," she said.

Arnaud-Jensen says she spoke to the manager of the store and was told the employee was fired. But, she is standing her ground and even pursuing legal action for this reason.

"Things done to us, not okay, I will stand and fight for that, for everyone in the community, it's for you guys, the community, not me but for them, so there will be no more suffering for the Deaf community."

She says this kind of discrimination happens to her almost every day and it needs to stop. Arnaud-Jensen says she is demanding, at the very least, that Jack In The Box train their employees, including the CEO to understand Deaf culture.

ABC7 News reached out to Jack in the Box. In a statement, they sent ABC7 this response:

"We have been informed of the incident that took place between an employee and hearing-impaired guest, in the drive-thru at a Campbell, California restaurant on August 31st. We do not tolerate the mistreatment of any customers and expect employees to follow all training procedures, be respectful, courteous and accommodating to all guests. After a thorough investigation of the incident and direct contact with the local franchise owner, we understand the employee in the video has been terminated."

Deaf Woman Suing Burger King

Deaf Oklahoma woman suing Burger King fast food restaurant after she was refused service because she's Deaf.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma woman says she was refused service at a metro Burger King because she’s Deaf. Rachel Hollis says she was stopping to get food after taking her two sons to hockey practice.

“I had my order ready, I had it typed on my phone. I do that often when I go through drive-thrus, it hasn’t ever been an issue," Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. "I show him my order, and he gives me this face of frustration.”

Hollis says she started taking a video of the incident because she was feeling uneasy, then in the video you can see the employee hand her a note that says, “Can’t do a full order at the window. Too busy.”

Eventually, the employee comes back to the window and starts arguing with Hollis.

“You have to come inside. It’s too busy. Too busy ma’am, I can’t do a full order at the window I’m sorry," the employee says to Hollis. "It has nothing to do with your disability, I have a disability too."

After that, he slams the window shut. Hollis says one of the worst parts about the whole experience was that it happened with her kids in the car.

"I could tell they knew something was going on, I was just trying to keep them calm," Hollis said. "I said I’ll explain it to you when we get home. But they knew something was going on.”

Hollis says she tries to stay calm in that moment, but she’s tired of people being treated that way.

“When I got home, that was when I really broke down. I was very upset, I was crying, I was very tired. I’m tired of discrimination,” Hollis told News 4 through an interpreter. “I’ve never experienced anything like that, for someone to call the police. That’s crazy, it just doesn’t seem right.”

There`s a big update in the case of a Deaf woman who says she was denied service at a metro Burger King: Rachel Hollis has hired a legal team to represent her, claiming the restaurant is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.

News 4 reached out to the Burger King corporate office about the situation, in a statement Burger King said:

All guests should be treated with respect and provided with a high level of service at our restaurants. The restaurant owner has reached out to the guest and her family to apologize, the employee was terminated and all employees at the location will undergo additional sensitivity training to ensure our customers always feel welcomed.

KFC Employees Mocking Deaf Couple

Deaf couple claims they were mistreated by employees at KFC.

BYRAM, MS -- A Byram woman is looking for answers after she said her mother was made fun of for being Deaf by employees at the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Byram. She said her mother and other people with disabilities shouldn't have to choose where they can go eat or be mistreated while they are there.

Bobbie Cole said she and her husband went to the KFC off Siwell Road in Byram Wednesday night. Because she's Deaf, she said they usually go inside, but the door was locked.

Cole said she attempted to order her food at the drive-thru window.

"I said excuse me I can't understand you, I'm Deaf can you move your hand so I can read your lips," said Cole. "She still stays like this."

She said them something happened, that has never happened to her before.

"Then she walks away to the boy that was cooking, he had flour all over him," Cole said. "They both were laughing. I said, 'hey, hey.' She turned around. She said, 'what?' I said, 'are y'all making fun of us?"

"It makes me upset, hurt. You don't make fun of other people who are handicapped or deaf. I can't respect that."

Cole's daughter, Donna Curtis, took to social media to express her concerns.

"No one deserves that, no one," said Curtis. "I don't care who you are, what disability you have or anything, you do not deserve to have your feelings hurt."

We reached out to KFC. In a statement, a spokesperson told us:

"We are conducting a thorough investigation of this incident. The franchisee’s director of operations is reaching out to Ms. Curtis regarding this matter. We believe in a culture of respect for all people and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind."

Nyle DiMarco Slams Fallon, Foxx For Mocking Deaf People

Controversy: Nyle DiMarco outraged at Jamie Foxx, Jimmy Fallon for making fun of the Deaf with sign language on ‘The Tonight Show’

NEW YORK CITY -- Nyle DiMarco is outraged at actor Jamie Foxx and Jimmy Fallon for a skit he says mocks Deaf people.

Jamie Foxx was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday night and at one point Fallon tossed to a break. As he's tossing, Jamie is doing fake sign language to the camera.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

The audience laughed, but Nyle - who is Deaf - is outraged. The winner of both "Dancing With the Stars" and "America's Next Top Model" is shocked the skit was broadcast, saying, "How was this allowed? Where's the cultural sensitivity. Not comedy when you make fun of others."

Matlin tweeted on Friday, I wouldn't say I "slammed" but I'd love to meet @iamjamiefoxx and teach him signs! There are other things in the world far worse to "slam!"

Nyle DiMarco is calling out Jamie Foxx and Jimmy Fallon.

The season 22 winner of Dancing With the Stars, who was also the first fully Deaf contestant in the show's history, is upset at Foxx for making up sign language during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday night.

On Saturday, the 28-year-old model and advocate for those hard of hearing shared a passionate letter on Twitter addressing to the Oscar winner.

"Jamie Foxx's behavior with Jimmy Fallon on Fallon Tonight should not be tolerated anywhere," the statement began. "We simply do not make fun at the expense of other cultures especially those with a history of being marginalized. When we do this, progress takes a step backward."

Adding that sign language is important to him because it is the bedrock of the Deaf community, DiMarco wrote that only two percent of Deaf people have access to education in the language.

"That is why I started Nyle DiMarco Foundation," he continued. "We are working with other organization to ensure every Deaf child has a usable language before the age of 5. What Foxx did on Fallon Tonight made our struggle that much harder."

On Friday night, after witnessing Foxx's actions, the America's Next Top Model winner also tweeted his frustration with the actor.

"Jamie Foxx it is straight up disrespectful to make up sign language," the 28-year-old model tweeted with video of Foxx randomly moving his hands and fingers. "Everything is in gibberish."

@iamjamiefoxx, It is straight up disrespectful to make up sign language.

Everything is in gibberish. pic.twitter.com/X5AHkusq3o.

In a second tweet, he blasted Fallon, asking "how was this allowed? Where's the cultural sensitivity? Not comedy when you make fun of others."

@iamjamiefoxx Also @jimmyfallon @FallonTonight how was this allowed?

Where's the cultural sensitivity. Not comedy when you make fun of others.

Marlee Matlin Slams Donald Trump ‘Retarded’

Deaf actress Marlee Matlin hits back at Donald Trump over ‘retarded’ comment: ‘it is unacceptable’

NEW YORK CITY -- "The term is abhorrent and should never be used"

Marlee Matlin, an actor who is Deaf, said she was “deeply” upset by reports that Donald Trump repeatedly called her “retarded” when she appeared on the Celebrity Apprentice.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

“The term is abhorrent and should never be used. The fact that we are talking about this during a very important moment in American history has upset me deeply,” Matlin said in a statement on Friday.

Three staffers on the reality TV show, who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure agreements, told the Daily Beast that Trump often treated Matlin with disrespect and called her “retarded,” both behind her back and in front of her. A former Apprentice contestant also told People that Trump made sexual comments to Matlin and other women on the show.

“I am Deaf. There are millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing people like me, in the United States and around the world who face discrimination and misunderstanding like this on a daily basis. It is unacceptable,” said Matlin, who has indicated her support for Hillary Clinton throughout the campaign.

“As a person who is Deaf, as a woman, as a mom, as a wife, as an actor, I have a voice. And I’m using that voice to make myself heard… and vote.”

Trump previously faced scrutiny early in the campaign for mocking a New York Times reporter who suffers from a congenital joint condition.

Deaf Customers Sue Starbucks Over Mocking

Deaf News: Starbucks employees allegedly laughed at speech of hearing impaired customers in New York City.

NEW YORK CITY -- Twelve Deaf Starbucks customers in New York City have filed a lawsuit against the Seattle-based coffee company, claiming discrimination. Starbucks employees allegedly mocked the customers multiple times over the course of several years, and once called the police on a monthly meeting of Deaf people.

"Cruel Employees" at two different Manhattan Starbucks mocked Deaf customers and refused to serve them, a stunning new lawsuit says.

"They were ridiculed, laughed at and told they had to leave Starbucks," said lawyer Eric Baum, who's suing on behalf of a dozen Deaf customers.

Jamie Riley, a spokeswoman for the mega-popular coffee chain, said they were aware of the allegations and were investigating them. "Discrimination of any kind is unacceptable at Starbucks," she said.

The suit says one incident took place at a Starbucks at 424 Park Ave. South in August 2012, when customer Alan Roth said a barista laughed when he placed his order, telling him he "sounded funny."

She "asked him to continually repeat himself as she laughed harder each time," and she was soon laughing "hysterically," the suit says.

When Roth demanded to speak to a manager, the employee started screaming obscenities at him and had to be restrained by other Starbucks staff, the suit says. Another employee told Roth to leave and never come back, the suit says.

Roth said he had "never before been so blatantly and maliciously been discriminated against."

The suit says Deaf customers also were forced to leave and had the cops called on them another time at the 13-25 Astor Place location, which had been chosen as the monthly gathering spot for an informal "Deaf Chat Coffee" social group...
