Discrimintation at a KALISPELL SUBWAY! OFFENSIVE RUDE COMMENTS!!!

                Hey you guys, I have to tell you that I have never been more offended by what happened at this Kalispell Subway! There is one thing that I haven't shared with you guys I cannot speak. This is something new that I haven't been dealing with for a very long time. I am not proficient in sign language and I also am not the best at communicating with other people with my new disability. I decided to visit Kalispell Montana because of it history and I just needed a vacation. Traveling does take a toll on my body. I was staying with a friend and she had a few people over so I decided that I would go pick up some subway sandwiches for everyone. I was able to walk there even though I did need to take quite a few breaks during the walk because of my POTS. When I arrived there was one person in front of me and another person after me. I was getting 6 sandwiches which were all typed out on my cellphone. I was able to communicate that I couldn't talk and I handed the worker my cellphone that had all the sandwiches written out. He appeared very frustrated when I did this. I could hear all of his comments and how flustered he was through these comments. He had no idea how difficult it was for me to even come and get sandwiches! Once he had checked me out and completed the payment he said "you know it would be so much easier if you had submitted these through our app or online. It was okay today because we didn't have a line but just know for next time that you need to do that. Cause then it would have been easier for me and we could have done them boom boom boom" I hate to break it to this Subway but there isn't going to be a next time because of what happened and that comment. Also me ordering them online wouldn't have been any quicker then if I walked in. They take the same amount of time. I should be able to walk in just like everyone else and give the workers a list of what I want to order just like everyone else does. When people who can speak come in and order more then just 1 or 2 sandwiches they aren't told that they should use the internet or online they don't tell them that they should make it easier for the workers. I was so hurt I stood there just shaking my head yes. I couldn't believe that someone was telling me this. I never had problems before when I could speak why am I having problems now? I don't want anyone else to have to deal with this!
