Richards Pizza discriminated against my elderly mother and refused to make accommodations. My family went to eat at Richards Pizza on Main Street in Hamilton, OH on October 24th, 2015 at 2:10 PM. Richards happened to be running a promotional offer of $.50 for a steak sandwich. There was a large line and my elderly mother who is unable to walk was waiting in the car and planned to join us inside when it was time to order as she can not stand. I was with my father(who is also disabled and has difficulty walking). A card was required to get the $.50 steak sandwich and I asked an employee for an extra card for my mother. He replied by saying " I don't give a d**n how crippled she is, everyone waits in line". We instantly threw the cards in the trash and left.
After arriving home I contacted the store manager who defended the employees actions and made no attempt to apologize for the incident and promptly hung up the phone one me even though I was not rude at all.
After 20 minutes I decided to call back and attempt to speak to another manager and again reached the manager who again made no apologies for the incident and degraded me further. She then said she didn't have to make any accommodations for anyone with disabilities because they were having a big sale.
I will be contacting the media and a lawyer Monday. My family has never been treated so badly ever!
I have the call recorded and will be posting it on youtube and contacting a lawyer Monday as this violates the ADA(Americans with Disabilites Act). I would strongly recommend that everyone join me in boycotting this local business and alerting others to this issue. There is no reason to support a group of bigots.
