A barmaid mistook a disabled man's facial disfigurement - for being DRUNK.
  • 5 years ago
Alex Barker, 43, had only had one bottle of beer when he was booted out of the boozer while on holiday in Cornwall on Saturday evening (11/7). Staff at the Cutty Sark pub, in Falmouth, told the charity worker they could not serve him because he appeared "under the influence." Mortified Alex was forced to leave the busy pub in front of shocked customers and went back to his hotel room feeling humiliated. Alex suffers from Moebius Syndrome and facial palsy - meaning his face does not show expressions and his speech can appear slurred. Yesterday (Wed) he urged people to be more aware of similar conditions to avoid an "embarrassing" incident from happening to anyone else.
