Do you not understand that it was more than one single drive through experience? And why keep bring up the hot coffee, I figure the hot coffee person was trying to scam McDonald's. But you are taking a disability and making it sound like a scam. You say you consider yourself a compassionate person, but to me unless you can put yourself in that woman's place and see how you would feel if someone treated you that way or discriminated against you for a disability, then I beg to differ. Even people like that woman has feelings.

compassion--a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.
mercy, tenderness, heart,
Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it
the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it
the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others
