“Apple Refused to Accommodate My Disability—Then Threatened Me”

The Incident at Apple Covent Garden
While seeking support for my iPad at the Apple Genius Bar, I encountered verbal hostility and adjustment refusal, in direct violation of disability law.
Despite calmly requesting pen-and-paper communication due to my verbal disability and respiratory strain, the Black male staff member ignored the request and escalated the situation—threatening to call security after I raised my voice to be understood.
I clearly stated:
“This is racial bias. You are accusing me because of how I sound, not what I’ve done.”
Manager Intervened, But Harassment Continued
Though a manager briefly assisted, a second employee—also of Black ethnicity—then intervened aggressively, verbally harassing me further and threatening to misreport the incident internally.
Again, my medical communication request was ignored.
This was not a misunderstanding.
It was systemic: a commercial institution refusing written communication and punishing disability with suspicion.
Statement of Disability
Please Note: I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.
