    Their “special” employee of the month?
    Perhaps they are running a monthly work program.

      That’s what I am thinking, still quite a back handed compliment. In my wildest dreams someone got ahold of the managers key and re-programmed the receipt print out as a joke on a friend, which is funny to me and not sad…

    fyi - the term ’special’ in educational lexicon refers to students with special needs, often with intellectual disabilities. Without a doubt, Janet is employed by the restaurant in a program to promote self-sufficiency. THAT SAID, the so called ‘normal’ employee who can’t spell ‘tries’ needs to be called out by the spelling police.

      My sister Janet, went to art school, in a short yellow limo.

      It took me about a week to figure it out, that art school meant ’special’ in educational lexicon refering to students with special needs, often with intellectual disabilities.

      My school, like most schools, featured the occasional attempt to integrate the special ed kids with the regular kids. Most usually in PE class. Not that that worked all that well. The non-tards would usually get annoyed by the tards on the team. “Stick him way in the back of the outfield and call him the ‘rover’ or something. You don’t need him at first base.”

      That one day a year where you had to go to the gym and do line dance or square dance in my day with a girls class. somehow the girls class always had the one “special” girl she would have the sweatiest hands. They always stuck me with her and….
      WAIT a minute I was the “special” boy in my class! :shock:

      Tards? seriously? NT stands for neurotypical which most of my kids are, two are NOT neurotypical, one had ASD (translated-autism) and rode the “short bus” in early childhood. Not fond of the word retard and esp not “tard”, I know there is more class here than those statements represent.

      I think ’special’ sounds more offensive than ‘retarded’… it’s called mental retardation, so why shouldn’t they be called retarded? OH honey, you’re just SPECIAL. That’s like saying that Santa Clause IS fucking real.

      You got me, WolfDog, it happened to me yesterday. I used my credit card for a $3 transaction. It was 10PM, I was completely out of cash, and I forgot to bring my couch with me. This will never happen again, as I have now chopped the couch in pieces and put it in my trunk.
