[Narrator] The smell of barbecue is in the air at the Minuteman restaurant and pie shop in Morristown, New Jersey. [Lauryn] Hey Peter, you all by yourself today? [Peter] Yep. [Lauryn] Sounds good, right this way. [Narrator] And this hungry regular can't wait to order. [Lauryn] Here you go. What can I get for you? [Peter] Maybe a burger? [Lauryn] Always a good choice [Narrator] As Peter makes up his mind... [Peter] Actually, can you tell me the special list? [Lauryn] Well, we have a delicious pulled pork sandwich... [Narrator] Our diner decides his time is up. [Mike] Hello. Hi, excuse me, miss. Yes. How long do you think you're gonna be with him? [Lauryn] I'm sorry. What? [Mike] Well, it just seems like it's gonna be a...slow process. [Narrator] It happens more often than you think; people with down syndrome being bullied and treated unfairly. If you overheard this man being impatient and indignant with a customer who has Down syndrome... [Peter] Is there a problem, sir? [Mike] I wouldn't expect YOU to understand. [Narrator] ...what would you do? [Peter] Uh, can I have uhhh. umm [Narrator] Peter is not having trouble deciding what to order. [Peter] Actually, can you tell me about your sandwitches [Lauryn] Sure! We have many- we have wraps if you'd like a wrap instead. [Narrator] While the surrounding tables don't seem to mind... [Lauryn] Hamburger? Okay, how do you like that cooked? [Narrator] Our impatient customer certainly does. [Mike] Excuse me, miss? Hello? Hi? Yeah. I've been sitting here for like fifteen minutes. [Lauryn] I'll be right with you, sir. [Mike] He's so slow. Can you please take my order first? [Lauryn] I'll be right with you, okay? [Mike] He probably can't even read the menu. I'm in a hurry. [Narrator] This woman does her best to tune him out. [Mike] Please, can you come over and take my order? This is so stupid! [Lauryn] Okay, I'm gonna put this in and I'll be right back, okay? [Mike] Don't people- [Lauryn] Sir, I'll be right back. [Narrator] But when he redirects his anger from Lauryn... [Mike] People with Down syndrome have a guardian; where's your guardian? [Peter] I'm trying to enjoy my night. [Mike] Well, you're slowing everything down. These people haven't received an order, these people haven't received- [Narrator] She decides she's had enough. [Mike] None of us have gotten any- Are you talking to me, ma'am? He's taking forever. He should have somebody with him. [Narrator] And just when we thought it was over... [Mike] Why are you defending a retarded kid? [Lady] First of all... its 'mentally challenged' [Mike] Ma'am, I am in a hurry. I have a business appointment- [Narrator] Turns out for her, this situation hits close to home. [John Quiñones] I'm John Quiñones. They're actors. [Diner] I used to teach mentally challenged children and ... ...I'm sorry I'm shaking, but I don't like to have confrontations with people, but that..really bothered me. My number one motto: Treat everybody that the way you would like to be treated. [John Quiñones] The golden rule. [Narrator] We roll again... [Lauryn] They have Arnold Palmers, so it's lemonade and iced tea. *slight chortle* They should be. [Narrator] How will they react to Mike's tasteless behavior? [Mike] Miss, can you- can you just- take my order first, please? [Lauryn] Just give me one second, sir. [Mike] Just come back to him, he won't care. I have- I'm in a hurry. [Peter] Can I have your Chicken Caesar Wrap? [Lauryn] Chicken Caesar Wrap? [Narrator] When the waitress steps away... [Mike] You have no guardian with you. You're by yourself? [Narrator] He offers Mike a tip. [Mike] He's bo- I mean... I- I've been sitting here- I didn't even know that people with Down syndrome could even go out by themselves. You'd fire me? Heh. Alright, that's it. I'm- I'm not gonna patronize this place if they let people like that in here. [Narrator] And after he leaves...he gives Peter one more sign of support. [John Quiñones] Hi, how are you, sir? I'm John Quiñones. [Diner] How are you? [Quiñones] You defended a stranger. [Diner] So what? He needed it! It was not fair what he was doing. [Narrator] And he wasn't the only one. Throughout the day, customers refused to ally with Mike. [Diner] I think you should apologize to this guy. [Mike] I should apo-
[Diner] Yeah, I think you should. [Diner] Why don't you find another place to eat? [Narrator] And they advised Peter to pay no mind to this hostile diner. [Peter] That man was so mad at me. This guy is really annoying me. [Diner] Don't worry about it. Just sit down and relax. [Peter] I hope I'm not bothering you... [Diner] Not at all, not at all. Good to see ya' buddy. [Narrator] We roll one last time. [Mike] This can take all day with somebody like him... He's obviously mentally challenged. So... [Narrator] And right away, this woman makes a bee line for the manager! [Narrator] Now, with her sister's help, she confronts Mike directly. [Mike] I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and this guy's taking forever- [Narrator] They're met with reinforcements. [Diner] Relax, will you? Relax. If you're in a hurry, get the hell out, okay? He's here. He deserves good treatment. You know!? Relax! [Mike] He's taking forever. Well, you know? Walk out! [Narrator] Our inconsiderate customer does just that... [Mike] Thanks anyway. [Narrator] ...but not before sharing some parting words. [Mike] You should have somebody here with you, alright? You should have a guardian with you. You should not be in here by yourself. [Narrator] But, he's cut off as the restaurant rallies around Peter. [Diner] Would you leave the guy alone? Get the hell out, okay? I am leaving- I'm leaving. [Diner] Go ahead! [Mike] But he should not be here. [Diner] We're gonna miss you, okay? This is a family restaurant. I never saw such a behavior in my life. Okay? [Mike] Yeah, well I won't be back here either.
[Diner] Good! [Diner] Well, you could sit with us if you'd like. [Narrator] Time to calm their nerves.
[Quiñones] I'm John, can I sit here? [Diner] When my sister came in, I said, "I don't know what to do." [Diner] For sure, he sat there and he heard what was going on And if- if that really happened... [Quiñones] It was that touching to you. [Diner] Oh man! [Quiñones] You threw him out, you told him to get outta here! [Diner] I might have used some foul language. I don't even remember, but... [Quiñones] What was your message? [Diner] You gotta be kind to everybody.
[Quiñones] One in every seven hundred births is a Down syndrome child. [Diner] My boss has a Down syndrome Niece and... ...They're human beings; we all are. [Jeremykat124] I hope you learned that you should respect all human beings, even if they have Down syndrome.
