Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am appalled by the manner in which your employees have disregarded the Federal Laws in place since 1964 regarding fair and equal employment opportunities for people of all races, sex, religion and disabilities.
Not only have your employees violated these laws at the time I attempted to submit my application for employment (which was not excepted because I am disabled), but also at the corporate level by an employee stating that if I am disabled I have no business working anyway.
I would appreciate your full cooperation with all the government agencies that are now involved in this matter and their investigation, including all other complaints past and present in which McDonald's Franchise and/or corporate has conducted themselves inappropriately concerning peoples with disabilities on behalf of myself and all others which now have been notified about this incident through numerous organizations for the disabled via the Internet.
I will allow you to say what ever you would like at this time and then there will no further communications from me personally.
Please note that you will be contacted shortly by an agent from one or more of the government agencies regarding discrimination against the disabled according to the Social Security and Human Civil Rights Commission agencies policies and the appropriate legal actions and/or prosecutions with the individuals and/or corporate bodies involved.

Search TipsYou seem to have some kind of fixed notion of what a "disability" is. Just FYI, a disability can be something as mild as simply being diabetic and needing to jack yourself with insulin 3x a day.
Sure, it can go up to severe mental or physical deformations or abnormalities, but do you REALLY think that McD's would hire someone in a wheelchair or would hire someone who would perhaps be a hazard to customers or other workers? Probably not, and it wouldn't be discrimination. If a person, any person, isn't suited for the demands of a job, a company doesn't have to hire them, and that's just a fact of life.
Thing about people like you though, is that you're likely the type who thinks of themselves as a beautiful, wonderful entity around whom the universe revolves, and as long as your needs, wants and desires are met, everyone else can go to Hell.
Funny thing though, every time Stephen Hawking breathes, he's got you in intellectual checkmate. No exceptions.
It doesn't take much to get on the disabled roster, and it can happen in an instant... A quick car accident, a fall off a ladder... Hell, if you wanna be a tough guy, just start drinking yourself to death. Mucho macho!
Of course, you've already had a horrifying disability heaped on you and you don't even know it: You were born.
Enjoy your fail.

I don't think it's the company that has the problem, but just one hiring employee.

While it is unlawful to discriminate against potential workers based on disability, that does not mean that they HAVE to give you a job because you are disabled. MANY other factors come into play -- basic job qualifications, attitude, personality, scheduling availability, motivation, etc. If another person meets the "big picture" more so than you, they will get the job, regardless of physical handicap.
Reality is, in some jobs, its not realistic to hire a physically disabled person, to work a position where they will be marginalized and unable to serve customers.
In those cases, its legally justifiable and proper to not hire certain kinds of disability.
If you are handicapped in such a way that you cannot get the food or drink or prepare it in a reasonably good timeperiod its totally appropraiate to not consider hiring you and its not discriminatory in that case.
However, if the position you applied for has no relevancy to being handicapped then you should puruse legal.
Unfortunately, in food service, its rare to be able to justify hiring certain kinds of disability.
Yes I see it, hiring a person who is able, but deformed... (ie; arms are wickedly deformed), but they are still able to perform.
But I have yet to see a 'wheelchair bound' person get hired...as the job requires serious mobility.
