Dude! I've always wondered the same thing. Every single person I've ever met in a wheelchair has been a real douche bag. No, they should not get a pass. An asshole is an asshole. If it quacks it's a duck.

Don't fee bad about being mad. It's a normal response. He most definitely should not behave that way.
It's possible he'd be that way (right down to foaming at the mouth) even if he wasn't in a wheel chair. Maybe he's just rude.
OR, maybe there is something else wrong with him.
Compassion is always a good thing but still, if he's really being that offensive then report it.

Foaming at the mouth thing is probably not him being rude and obnoxious but rather medical related. Within reason people should be patient with others. This man could have a list of disabilities that cause him to do the things he is doing. Be cautious in how you deal with this situation.

While i understand your dilemma, i wish to add, if i may, that perhaps this gentleman is only acting out of his limitations rather than his actual intentions.
To be disabled is no laughing matter, and to be confined to a wheelchair even makes it that much more harder to blend in with such a fast changeing world.
Yes, his words perhaps are rude and even distasteful, yet, perhaps all he really needs is for people to treat him just as you and i would treat eachother.
As for foaming at the mouth, honestly, i do not know an answer that can satisfy the question. Perhaps...PERHAPS, it is part of his condition?, i really do not know, but i am willing to bet if others were to treat him as if he were just another average person, he would begin to see that a disability does not make you any less a valued person, and that a simple word of kindness could make all the difference.

It is not wrong to feel that way.
But then you do not know if he also has a mental disability.
That is harder to see.
He may be a bit retarted along with being in a chair.
You should really call and talk to the manager about it. Find out if there is something else wrong with him.
If not, then voice your complaint and ask why the man is not repremanded for his behavior. I am sure the manager knows how this guy acts.

I've said it here before and I'll say it again and again and again and again. Because someone is disabled doesn't make him/her or any less of a jerk than any temporarily able bodied person.
Disabled people are human beings like everyone , some able-bodied people are jerks and make ignorant comments like the above post and they encounter disabled people who can be ignorant as well.
If the gentleman bothers you so much speak to the manager as you would with any other employee who is discourteous.

Report his behavior to the manager. Being disabled does not entitle one to be a jerk. However, like the poster above mentioned, he may also have a mental disability- or maybe he's a nephew that needs a job.

Some just have different problems, like needed to interrupt before they forget it.
There are 80,000 French/English speaking people in northern Maine that are so proud they learned both languages, yet most are very lacking in etiquette. I wish they had learned etiquette too.

I would suggest that you call and talk to headquarters about him since I'm sure that the manager has had numerous complaints about this individual and he still hasn't done anythng. I worked with a lady that was extremely rude to customers and fellow imployees a like and still the place where we worked couldn't fire her.

Absolutely not. You should talk to the manager about his conduct. It's unprofessional, rude and creates a bad environment. That he is in a wheelchair is inconsequential. Just because a person can't walk doesn't mean they can't have manners.
