I was in a big box store yesterday, looking for an item for which I had a coupon. I go up and ask a uniformed employee where that item might be found. The guy I asked started to gesticulate and utter a series of grunts. I soon discerned that he could not speak. Now why on earth would a store hire someone like that to work out on the floor, where he might have to answer a customer's question? I asked about this at the service desk, since I resented my time having been wasted. They replied that "they could not discriminate against him just because he could not speak". What kind of nonsense is that? Why would you hire someone who would have to answer customer questions as part of their job, who was unable to speak?
The whole”discrimination” thing has gone way too far.
When this stupidity happens, know that it is liberalism (read anti-American undermining) driving laws that actually violate the natural right to association...hence discrimination.
We all should be allowed to discriminate, as persons and as the businesses that are run by those persons.
Just a few weeks ago I heard a story of a deaf girl working in a grocery shop who got hit in the head as she was stocking a shelf, when a lady asked her where something was and she “refused to answer” (because she was deaf). No excuse for violence but...
Agreed that people who don’t hear or speak probably shouldn’t be out among the public at a store.
I do love to see intellectually challenged people bagging and boxing groceries though. They tend to be very good and love their jobs.
Ask him to take you to the item.
You’d think they would require the clerk to be able to write in order to communicate.
