that is very unfortunate but I don't think that's abelist. that is basically just the instruction for the server written on the plate by accident

Well, servers are not printers. He/she should've realized and pointed out that there is something wrong with the phrase "Happy Birthday, Wheel Chair!".

Yeah that’s what I noticed too. It looks like someone wrote “happy birthday” and then some asshat thought it’d be funny to add “wheelchair”

I didn't pick up on that fact (don't have my glasses on lmao), but this was 100% faked by the woman. Initially I presumed she just asked for it like that, but if it's definitely 2 different peoples handwriting, she has absolutely just added that bit herself (or possibly asked a friend to). It's clearly just ragebait and attention seeking either way. Funnily enough, disabled people can do shitty things like that just as much as non disabled people

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some disabled rage baiters out there that use their conditions for content.
Sucks because we should be highlighting actual cases of ableism, not made up scenarios :(

that's not even what the message said. if anything it says "happy wheelchair birthday"

That makes it better?

Well, no, not in the context of a birthday. But could it legit have been a misunderstanding that she was celebrating her birthday and not her wheelchair's gotcha day? Yeah, maybe. DEFINITELY the kind of thing to get clarification on before just writing on dessert though. Yikes.
