I believe Ruby has been hired by both these companies - the fast food place and Sam's - as part of a program to provide opportunity to persons with disabilities. The federal government gives tax incentives to corporations to provide employment to persons who need extra support in the workplace due to a disability. The fast food place tried to collaborate with Ruby's counselor to assist her to learn to modify a problem behavior. I suspect the same thing is going on with Sam's. Large corporations take their participation in this program very seriously and they do hate to see an employee fail. Here is an article: Sorry I can't find the "clip tray." But Google www.dailybeast.com/hiringpeople with disabilities.

Also google: www.DOL.com/hiringdisabled.

A lot of thought went into the decision to hire Ruby. Ruby has shared that she struggles with some cognitive and developmental challenges. Her employers knew that and committed to providing her support to promote her success on the job. That does not mean they have to tolerate every and any kind of behavior. Ruby has to do her part too. She is finding there are limits to what employers will tolerate. It's tough to have to learn that the hard way, but I think that's what it is taking.

Ruby, you are not helpless. The fast food employer did not victimize you. Your supervisor there did not victimize you. She did not act out of hatred toward you. You have the power to alter you behavior. When you do, your employment experiences will be better. It's up to you.
