Can Your Weight Keep You From Getting a Job?

I work in a deli department in a grocery store. Several years ago, a
very overweight guy in the customer service department wanted to be in
the deli. He signed up several times when we had openings.

To be honest, none of us wanted him in the department. He was a really
nice guy and a hard worker. But our walkways are small. When we pass
each other, we have to turn sideways and sometimes suck it in. It
would be really hard to have somebody who is over 300lbs easily.

They finally accepted him and scheduled him in the deli. He finished
teh first shift complaining about his back hurting, and made it
through only 2 hours of the second shift, before being transferred
back to customer service. It was just too hard for him in his physical
condition.

Yeah lets face it, 450lbs for an elephant? That's an awfully skinny
elephant. Also what is this "smelling of faeces" stuff? Do you mean
faces? Or do you just mean [censored]? In which case that's usually a
European thing.

No, it wasn't! It MUST have been YOUR bigotryyyyyy!

You big, bad, nasty, high-weight-propotionate
Opressorrrrr!

That guy was Opressed! And abused! Poor him! Poor
him!

Don't you feel so guilty? (You are mean, nasty, bad
person if you don't.)

My gawd! Next, you will be suggesting that some job
description listing of, "Must be able to lift 10kgs (22
lbs)" might just mean it! Oooooh, the nasty
discimination!!!!!

I believe the person meant feces ([censored]). I haven't had any coworkers
like that, but I have had a few customers. I remember one who came in
every day, broke two of our riding scooters, and he reeked horribly.
They had to clean the cart after he used it. And one of the courtesy
clerks saw him once when his shirt didn't cover him all the way. He
did have dried feces on his back. He was probably over 400lbs, could
barely walk, and probably cannot bathe himself without help.

He was finally caught shoplifting and banned from the store.

(Ok, let's see if I can muddy the waters here.. hehe.)
Actually, I believe he did mean 'faeces'. "ae" is the spelling for Greek,
but 'Latinized' words, that in the original Greek, were written with the
Greek diphthong Alpha Iota, which was, (and still is), pronounced as a long
e sound.
But.. since people don't come to newsgroups to learn.. this concludes
today's lesson, boys and girls!
