Teeneshia Bush took her boy to grab some grub at a local eatery and waited as he went inside to order.

But when her son, Quenterus Brown, reemerged he came out with something unexpected – tears in his eyes.

The 15-year-old told his mum that the people behind the counter had been laughing at his order.

It was only then that the teen saw his receipt and the words "LIL UGLY DUDE" printed in place of his name.

Ms Bush told local news station WKRG that her son was dealing with mental health issues daily.

Taking to Facebook, she slammed the Wendy's restaurant in the US city of Mobile, Alabama, as "unprofessional".

She wrote: "My child was so embarrassed and upset, and said the whole store was laughing at him including the manager.

"I play about a lot of things but my kids isn't one. My ghetto side was telling me to go back up there and let them have it."

Quenterus told WKRG about the humiliation he felt as the laughing staff handed his order over to him.

He said: "It hurt my feelings; it made me cry. I was embarrassed and I felt bad."

Director of Management Services at Wendy’s, Ed Sheffield, said the staff member responsible was fired.

He said: "We were certainly disappointed to learn that one of our employees treated a guest in such a rude manner.

"We take this seriously, and we no longer employ this individual. When we learned of the incident, we immediately contacted the guest.

"We apologized to the young man and his mother and look forward to welcoming them back to Wendy’s again."

Ms Bush's post on Facebook last Tuesday has now been shared more than 2,000 times.
