Dairy Queen Grill & Chill — Restaurant in Erie

You know what is the best thing ever to happen?

To be able to get help I need and all the accommodations and supports I need to be able to function in life.

AAC, speech therapy, occupational therapy, sensory supports, safety bed, gps, and professionals who understand my limitations and concerns and won't question my abilities. Because they now know my dad keeps telling people I don't need this help and that and was able to do it at his house all the time. But look at the skin rashes and body odor because I need some more help with that. Look at the problems with wiping. It took me to be seen by people when everyone said I did it at the shelter I was at. But, I thought I did good because no one said anything about it. They all was understanding of me And my disability. Then when I went to the hospital because of stomach bug. They wouldn't take me back because of the hygiene and incontinence and problems cross the street and not being able to understand stranger danger and being taken advantage of by others.

This is when APS found out I really couldn't do it myself. Put me in a hotel. Then saw me struggling in the hotel with my hygiene and toileting routine and had people who help me like Doug and few friends on Facebook and my mom before she really went down hill in health. Even the hotel staff help me. This is when everyone saw I really do need this help and tried to do it myself. But this was not good enough for my dad to accept so he told royal this stuff and everything. They fired Nicole because I made complaints about royal and she did too. She told aps the issue with some of the caregivers. You know something. My caregivers make documents to show APS for my roommates they are not getting the help and care they need from royal. This made Royal look even worse because they listen to my dad and people on social media.

But Dad is right about something. How mad Royal be with a different agency to take care of me and if I get the help I need and have no behaviors issues. They would be so mad. The same help Nicole and Will and Sybil and few others gave me at royal is all the time at my agency.

This has to piss off people who bully me and say I fake. To make everything better I am not on any mental health medicines and not even having depression. My anxiety is even better. I have 1 problem with attention and sit still and easily distracted. I am waiting for my Photo ID for a ADHD medication to help me. This is amazing people. How mad Erie county NY and the hospitals who said I wasn't being abused and responsible for my behaviors and everything was on purpose. Here I am showing everyone I can't help it and it's not on purpose. Now people see my behavior issues is my communication issues and unmet needs because I need more hands on help and supports. I am not giving up. I am going to keep doing what I need to do and let everyone help me. Especially when I trust everyone helping me now to help me with my everyday needs. I let them do the talking for me and navigate the care I need.

Guys I am doing good because I have developmental difficulties and now people accept the records and disability. This is proof that people on social media can't be trusted because they made rumors about me not true at all. The best part is I feel like I am a human being because I have no rash no body odor no dirty room going out in the community more. And doing things I did not do before. Nicole did this with me. But I am doing more in the community then before. Routine and support is so important for my success. I want know this. It's the gold standard support for autism and intellectual disabilities.

If I keep working on things I will be able to work again.

I have plans and working on that part of my life. I have a program working on technology skills for...

Thanks a lot Dairy Queen.. this is THREE TIMES now I have spent money on Ubers to come up to dine in, because I have no vehicle, only to find out you have handwritten signs up saying youre DRIVE THRU ONLY, YOURE LOBBY IS CLOSED... THANKS for NOTHING!!! THANKS for WASTING MY MONEY!!!

EDIT to add, By the time my husband and I were SO upset, and decided what to do.. we ended up walking ALL the way to Taco Bell, spent money up there and didnt even get full.. walked ALL the way back down to go home on 16th st, THE LOBBY WAS OPEN AGAIN!!! I was SO upset, I was ready to go in and say something! My husband and I had wasted money on the ride to Dairy Queen where we REALLY WANTED to eat, only to have to walk WAY out of our way and spend our last dollars to not even get satisfied elsewhere, all to find this lobby OPEN again as we passed by on our VERY long walk home!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?! THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW!!!

EDIT JULY 16,2024.. ONCE AGAIN... I WALKED ALLLLLL THE WAY HERE.... JUST FOR THESE SIGNS TO BE POSTED ON THE DOOR AND THE WINDOWS.. But yet... there were people coming in and out of the store though... hmmmmmm........ WHAT is going on with this establishment?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? One lady pulled up, saw the signs.. saw someone coming out, and said THE HELL WITH IT! And went RIGHT IN! I want to know what the hell is going on with...

Ive been buying this meal for over 3 months. Always 3 people eating on the order with extras and ice creams, so I never questioned the $3.49. Thought it was a great deal. I stopped today with my buddy and we only got 2 number 5s. Total was $14.xx. I was taken by the price and asked the lady at the window. She was snotty and told me no thats the price. I got out took a pic and showed her it says combo price. She said no thats for just the sandwich price. I said well it shows as combo price and sandwich prices on all other options than this. Just assumed this was a good price. Compared to McDonald's I can get a double cheese burger frys and a drink for relatively $4.00. What upset me was I went and took the pic and showed the lady and she she said the board is correct. I said ok then its $3.50 for combo. She again snotty said no. I paid. I wasn't not. It was just rude of her. She could of said ohhh no I'm sorry we gotta fix that.. Sad, today everyone everywhere is so...
