Rude clerk made a disabled vet crawl.

Staff Sgt Chad Staples was wounded permanently when he took a bullet in Iraq.

He recently went to Best Western in Texas, where he booked a room at the third floor. After he settled in, he found the elevator was out, so he asked the front desk for help. The clerk laughed at him and refused to help, so he had to crawl down.

This has caused an uproar, and the chain refunded the vet's money. I wonder if they gave him a parking spot.

They should give him free room for the rest of his life!!!

And make the clerk serve him breakfast, lunch, and dinner - on her knees.

From the Best Western Facebook page, the clerk is no longer working there.

We continue to address your concerns about the recent event at one of our Best Western hotels in Monahans, Texas. As we first shared on Saturday, the hotel has advised us that after a thorough review of the matter the individual involved is no longer an employee at the hotel. We are now working diligently and taking steps to ensure an outcome that will result in greater understanding of how to assist guests with disabilities within the entire hotel industry. Our team will provide an update to everyone on our efforts as soon as we have confirmed the details.

Swampy, I'd love to meet that little twerp and teach him/her some manners, but I'd probably go to jail for causing him/her some inconvenience in mobility.
