I can't believe the limited thinking in this statement.

Hell I would never work at a place like this because i cant hear as much as a normal hearing person, which is why I worked at a wearhouse and work at the golf coarse, both jobs dont involve much listening to customers

That is your choice. Others have different choices. And they should not be refused an opportunity to apply for a job simply because they are deaf. If they can't fulfill job requirements, that is a different situation. But that can only be determined after an extensive interview.
However, he shouldnt had made a big deal over it. Should just let her do the application then decline it on his own private time.

So, you support people discriminating against the deaf simply because they are deaf. Good luck finding opportunity in your own life.

I knew these were actors and I STILL got teary-eyed.

If an applicant has a disability that can be reasonably accommodated and he/she is qualified and can perform the essential duties of his/her job, then they shouldn't be disqualified. Ugh.

If the applicant could not lip read, would you think any different?
