Tim Hortons customer claims staff ran away from him because he has Tourette\u2019s TIKTOK: myfamily_withtourettesA customer with Tourette Syndrome took to TikTok to accuse Tim Hortons workers of discriminating against him, saying they ran away after seeing signs of his condition. In a viral TikTok posted by the man (myfamily_withtourettes,) he blasted the workers in the store who allegedly ran away from the counter, refusing to serve him. A single employee then came out to the front to help him. \u201cThey all ran away and sent out a young man instead. In front of my kid,\u201d he wrote in text over the clip, which amassed 19.5 million views. \u201cHey guys, hey guys, that\u2019s not cool,\u201d the customer said in the video. \u201cThat\u2019s not cool, I have Tourette\u2019s and she wants to not serve me she wants to send you? Like that\u2019s crazy, man.\u201d He then moved the camera around the restaurant, as the employee asked the TikToker what he can get for him. \u201cAn apology,\u201d he replied before the video cut out. The customer with Tourette\u2019s wrote in the video caption: \u201cSeeing staff run away and point and laugh at you is an awful feeling. I hope none of you have to feel this kind of hate. Really messes with you over time. Tim Hortons please do better.\u201d Many TikTok users in the comments sympathized with the content creator. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry that happened that was so wrong,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cSorry you had to go through that, hopefully they learned from this experience,\u201d another commented. \u201cMan I\u2019m so incredibly sorry you had to go through that. It\u2019s unbelievable that people are like this,\u201d a third shared. Others defended the worker that didn\u2019t serve him, and thought that the whole situation was a misunderstanding. \u201cI\u2019m assuming it was handled poorly but I have no context and everyone is dealing with something and it\u2019s likely her thing clashed with yours,\u201d one said. \u201cThis is fast food and that\u2019s a teenage girl for all you know it was just a weird situation so she sent the manager up front,\u201d another wrote. \u201cSorry you had to experience that. Though, some people aren\u2019t familiar with Tourette\u2019s & find it alarming\/scary at first,\u201d a third added.
