re: #372 windsagio

yeah I remember. Its a brave, scary choice you made >> Do you use disabled people at the store you work at? (probably not, but I always have professional interest in how they do… from people who have no reason to lie to me about it)

Yes, we have a number of different ways that is handled. We have 4 part time disabled workers and we have training programs come in with groups once or twice a week with a half or dozen or so disabled people who are getting occupational training. And sometimes, like today, we had a single sighted person come in with a sight impaired training person and worked for 2-3 hours with him.

We have about 18 full time production, cashier and furniture people (furniture is a separate department from production, and the three of us in furniture cover the full week, plus some misc. duties).

Busy place.
