LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE
UNITED STATES KILLING ABOUT
20,000 AMERICANS EACH YEAR.
ALL NEW AT 5:30 PM, A
COUPLE CONFINED TO WHEELCHAIRS
IS CALLED A SHOCKING NAME ON
THEIR RECEIPT AFTER ORDERING
FOOD FROM A FOOD TRUCK.
THEY WERE IDENTIFIED AS CHAIR.
HILDA HAS THAT STORY AND A
SURPRISING EXPLANATION FROM THE
BUSINESS.
I HAVE A DISABILITY CALLED
SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY PICK
SHE HAS A FORM OF MUSCULAR
DYSTROPHY SHE HAS BEEN IN A
WHEELCHAIR SINCE SHE WAS SIX.
ISRAEL WAS BORN WITH SPINA
BIFIDA AND HAS BEEN BOUND ALL
OF HIS LIFE.
AS ADULTS, THEY LIVE A VERY
INDEPENDENT LIFE SPIRIT
I THINK THAT THE
MISCONCEPTION IS THAT PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES ARE TAKING
FROM SOCIETY.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TRUE.
THEY OWN A BUSINESS, TRAVEL
AND LIVE FULFILLING LIVES.
BUT IT WAS DURING A SIMPLE ACT

I LOOK AT THE RECEIPT, AND
I'M LIKE ARE YOU SERIOUS.
I WAS SHOCKED.
SHE TOOK A PICTURE OF THE
RECEIPT AND POSTED IT ON
FACEBOOK.
THE OUTRAGE FOLLOWED PICK
WE DEAL WITH US ALL THE
TIME.
IT'S UPSETTING.
IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO
EDUCATE PEOPLE, BUT THEY ARE
NOT JUST A CHAIR.
THERE IS MORE TO THAT PERSON.
THAT'S WHAT -- THAT'S NOT MY
NAME.
YOU HAVE TO PUT CHAIR?
ARE YOU THE OWNER?
WE WENT LOOKING FOR AN
EXPLANATION.
TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU WROTE
ON THEIR RECEIPT?
CHAIR.
YOU NAMED EVERYBODY ELSE BY
NAME, BUT YOU CALLED THEM
CHAIR.
IRON -- I EITHER PUT SHIRTS,
TABLE, WHATEVER PART THEY ARE
CITY AND.
YOU DO THAT FOR EVERYBODY?
I DON'T PUT NAMES.
I REALLY APOLOGIZE.
BUT IT WAS NOT MEANT IN THAT
MANNER.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, I WILL
MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN
AGAIN.
THEY SAY THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND, BUT THEY WANT TO
BRING ATTENTION TO IT.
THEY DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING
OF IT.
AND, IF SOMEONE PUT SOMETHING
DOWN ABOUT HER, BUT SHE DOESN'T
