"When I went in there they denied me because they said I moved too much," Peters told WNEM in Bay City, Michigan.
Peters has cerebral palsy. She uses a wheelchair and yes, her hands have a mind of their own.
Cerebral palsy does that to a body. It is a movement disorder that, according to the Mayo Clinic, can cause abnormal reflexes and involuntary movements, floppy or rigid limbs.
Ebony Harris, a cashier at that Walmart, was working the day the salon turned Peters away, she told ABC 12 in Flint, Michigan. Harris knows Peters as a frequent shopper she has spoken to frequently. She's helped her shop a couple of times, too.
"She's such a joy, she's a sweetheart. She has a humble heart," Harris told Cars 108 radio station in Flint, Michigan.
Harris saw that Peters was upset and asked if she could do her nails for her.
"And she just started smiling and said, 'yeah,' " Harris told WNEM.
So Peters bought a bottle of polish and Harris set up a makeshift manicure station at one of the tables in the in-store Subway.
