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.”

  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.

  probably a germiphobe. Most people generally know where there cards have been, but binny change – now thats been through some pretty dirty hands I’d say. You’d probably want to start with a thick hankey to wipe off the thick layer of HIV+ phlem, some hospital grade dissinfectant to kill the scabies which you can’t see on the coins and/or a portable (glove box edition) autoclaver just to make sure.
  
  That’s what I’d be using anyway.

  Is dissinfectant some kind of mutant carrier of lame insults from 1985? Or maybe a special strain of dormant auto immune disorder that attacks the grammar, punctuation and capitalization centers and brings out neanderthals whenever someone writes the word “homeless?”

“Special” employees. Janet is “slow”. I get it, and I’m all for helping the mentally and physically challenged secure mainstream employment. To a degree. I draw the line, however, when ty manage to find work in the food service industry. The last thing I want is Janet’s chubby, slobber-soaked fingers touching my cruller or I-Am-Sam’s big green booger plopping into my double espresso.

Yeah, I know that there’s always a possibility that I’ll be subjecting to the malicious placement of bodily discharge by sum disgruntled hipster. I try to discourage that by tipping generously and being really nice to the staff. But being nice to “special” employees is counterproductive. They get so giddy over approval that they lose track of what they’re doing and basic concepts such as hand-washing and swallowing excess saliva every so often slips their minds.

So bully for Janet, but never mind on that order. I’ll go up the road to Tim Horton’s where the special employees are only allowed to take out the trash and scrub the toilets.

Note to all: My name is Janet and I was the recipient of a joke gone bad. My nephew placed this message at the bottom of my shop receipt without my knowledge. It was solely intended for me and not meant to insult any individual whether or not they may have challenges of any type. I apologize for his behavior and lack of thinking. As of right now, the receipt footer has been reverted to it’s original message. Lord knows we all have our own challenges, and right now, my nephew is mine. Again, I apologize to all who were offended by the message, and emphasize that it was not meant to cause harm or pain to any individuals at all.

  First off, until today, I was not aware of the change on my receipt, and unfortunately no one said hello to me or maybe it would have tipped me off. My nephew can not write the apology as he will not be alive to do so when I find him. Yes, as a family member he does have access to my computer. He lives to prank me, but got carried away this time. Sorry we do not make apple crullers Joe, but if and when we do, you will be the first one to get a free one. The original message simply stated that if you have any questions, concerns, or compliments please call me at ***, and that is what has been returned. No, I do not believe I am Polish, I am simply put an American Mutt. So then again, I could be… One of our regular customers was nice enough to give me this web address so that I could clear up the situation. So hopefully, this answers all of your questions, and now maybe we can move on to a more interesting topic. Janet
