Dear Mrs. Putz,
I’m really sorry that had happened to you. Some people just don’t know what disability means and certainly no idea what Deafness entails.
I hope that Steak and Shake recognizes the ignorance of their clerk and are able to do some corporate education about deafness and the Deaf Community.

Wendy: I blogged about it too in my weekly gratitude post. My gratitude went to Karen Putz for having the courage to stand up and be counted in the face of withering criticism and pressure. Her story both inspired and pressed some deeply hidden buttons that I didn't know existed! Thanks for helping a fellow blogger spread the news - she's my buddy too!

Well, Nobody got literally shot but I assure you that the title of this post is entirely accurate. An employee of Steak and Shake has indeed managed by his stunning demonstration of how to be an insensitive idiot, to do a nice job of shooting the comp…

See, Wendy – this is why I love you – kickin’ ass and takin’ names – LITERALLY! If you weren’t so darned far away, I would bear hug you right now! I Tweeted this, but, I’ve been meaning to blog it and just haven’t gotten to it yet – it’s going on at least two blogs – and on a bulletin on MySpace. Wrong. So wrong.

Henry, What makes this so ironic is that the guy is the manager of the restaurant-- can you believe that? Karen Putz's last blog post..Steak and Shake Denies Service

Well, Karen, you have to understand, people who work in fast-food restaurants tend to suffer from a disability: utter cluelessness.

They are trained to do one thing and one thing well, like Pavlov’s dogs, and as a result when something out of the ordinary lands on their doorstep, they have NO idea that they can bend the so-called “rules” and make everybody happy.

Wendy, thanks for supporting Karen and viral activism in action! Boggles my mind how we still need to fight for our rights.

I’m with you, Wendy! Steak and Shake has some serious explaining to do as well as better training of its staff. When I read Karen’s post my mouth just dropped open. I hope they respond to her soon or I’m going to help you get this thing out through viral marketing.
