Stupid b*tch at Wal-Mart

I would have looked at that woman and said "apparently they have better manners than you"

I would have been hardpressed not to clock her one to be honest; I've known this girl for a while (well, she's not technically a girl any more, she's around 40 now) who has Downs and she's just so sweet. She's very childlike, but she's just the sweetest person you could ever meet. And I swear, if anyone said anything like that in her hearing, they'd be on the receiving end of a knuckle sandwich.

The local organization that helps out these cognitively disabled people in my town will take all the people in their care on trips to my store every so often. They may go to Wal-Mart in town too, but I can only speak for my store.

One time there was a groups of them in the store and a co-worker who was a grade-A jerk came up to me and said "Oh look! It's field trip day at the retard house!"

I replied, "Uh huh. Guess that's why you're here today."

I think he was ready to deck me, but he thought better of it.

How many went for vodka?

::chuckle:: I'm sure if someone could hold their drink well enough not to be visibly sloshed on the salesfloor, they could get away with it.

I worked with a Downs gal. Sweetest girl on the planet. That girl could zone and stock canned foods with a military accuracy and was quick about it. There were some times we couldn't find enough for her to do within her skillset she was SO motivated. Finally, the owner of the store, with her parents' permission, started teaching her how to stock produce and clean the storefront windows. Her and the guy that counted cans and cleaned the back (also mentally retarded in some way, though I'm not sure how), got married and had a daughter (with the full support and supervision of both families) who is beautiful and without disabilities of any kind (which was a relief for both sets of (grand)parents).

People don't give these guys enough credit.
