Disabled Parking Spaces and Ableism

December 1st, 2020

My experience with Domino’s Pizza, ableism and manipulation.

I arrived at my residence on November 21st, 2020 to find a Domino’s Pizza employee illegally parked in my assigned disabled parking space, which has my unit number on the sign. I told the Domino’s employee he was illegally parked and needed to move his vehicle. The rude, disrespectful and entitled Domino’s Pizza employee told me, I needed to wait. I told him, I would be calling the police. The Domino’s Pizza employee stormed off the porch of the tenant he was delivering to, recklessly backed into my vehicle and drove off.

Police and a courtesy patrol took statements and pictures of the damage to my vehicle. Several Domino’s Pizza locations in our area were called. I called Domino’s Pizza corporate who stated the 71st and Memorial location is assigned to my complex. The location is independently owned, I was told a member of management would call me. I went to the location Monday, November 30th, 2020. I allowed a staff member to have a copy of the Domino’s Pizza employee’s vehicle. He claimed that employee had to work at another location. I left my contact information. I received a call from someone claiming Domino’s Pizza employees are responsible for any damage they do, that it would be between me and the police to go after the employee for damages. He then asked what happened. I told him, he already made his alleged claim regarding liability and he could obtain a copy of the police report.

Domino’s Pizza is full of ableism and manipulation. They do not take responsibility for hiring individuals that drive reckless. Domino’s Pizza needs to be accountable. I will take Domino’s Pizza to small claims court. I requested the contact information to their legal department and never received it. Stop parking in parking spaces designated for individuals that are disabled.

Dear Doctors

I understand that doctors don’t know every answer. I don’t expect them to.

What I DO expect, is to be believed. To be validated, and supported.

This shouldn’t be too much to ask. All I am asking is for you to do your JOB.

This is what you signed up for. You are failing your patients if you are dismissing, or gaslighting them.

If the tests come back normal, do more. Refer them to someone else. If you don’t have the answer, keep referring them to other specialists.

If and when the results come back normal, do not blame it on anxiety. Do not say it is “all in their head.”

Why would we be asking for your help if we didn’t really need it?

Medical trauma is real. You have more of an impact on someone’s future than you can ever imagine.

I wish someone had taken the time to tell me that they believed me. That they were sorry I was going through this.

I wish that I didn’t have to defend myself every single time I see a doctor. I wish that I didn’t have panic attacks before every doctors appointment.

This all could have been avoided if you had just done your job.

Love,

A traumatized patient.
