[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 150292, member: 1233"] Krogers should be ashamed. They are really variable from store to store. One person at corporate told me it was because they were tkaing on the "local attitudes". That is bs, they are letting management and other employees abuse the disabled who are usually among the hardest workers inthe store. My boyfriend from childhood had a job just after she got married - she stood and kept an man about 60 on task sweeping floors and emptying garbage cans in a grocery store. Her job was to be his "job coach" which meant all she did was walk around with him. He was the hardest worker she had ever seen. She was never ever very sensitive to anyone with disabilities before that. But she is a tiger for them now! this man had done this job for 30 years, with a job coach most of the last 3 years or so. He was getting senile but loved to work. The customers LOVED him. As long as they didn't change things he knew where stuff was and would help customers. He gave candy (first that he bought with his own $$) to EVERY child or child in an adult's body that he saw. boyfriend got the store manager to see he was buying the candy, so they then jsut made sure his candy bag was never empty. The people with handicaps who work can add so much to the store, they can REALLY increase customer loyalty. But not if they are treated like crud. You hae raised a great easy child, to take up for her bro like this. Glad you sent a letter too. If we had a Kroger I would be sending letters too. Still might. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
