A restaurant owner in Anchorage, Alaska, has “fired” one of her customers following his disrespect and mistreatment of an employee who has autism.
P.J. Gialopsos, owner of Little Italy Restaurante, said that an irate customer called the restaurant last month complaining about the service of its delivery drivers.
Gialopsos’s daughter, who took the call, was subjected to ridicule and profanity as the caller claimed the driver mixed up the order and was under the influence of drugs.Even after the daughter attempted to explain that the employee suffers from social awkwardness due to having autism, the customer continued berating the employee.
