"That actually made me cry — that people out there actually think like that," Antonio Dobbins told KGTV.
That's Antonio Dobbins, a California man who says he was hurt by what a Del Taco employee said to him in September.
According to Newsy's partners at KGTV, 50-year-old Dobbins was in a work accident and suffered "third- and fourth-degree burns on his face and hands."
But that accident happened 20 years ago. So when Dobbins and his daughter stopped by a Del Taco in Escondido, he was shocked by what he heard.
"Typically, girls wouldn't go out with a guy that looks like you," Dobbins said.
"Dobbins said the employee even asked to take a photo of him to show his friends," a KGTV reporter said.

Dobbins says both he and his daughter are owed an apology.
"I think if a company hires someone, you need to teach them how to say the right things to people coming," Dobbins said.
