That is really cool! I think they just hired a kid with Down Syndrome in the Deli at Safeway. I don't think he runs the slicer, but he happily weighs out pre-sliced cold cuts, cheese and salad items in the case.
Always a huge smile on his face. It is happy-making to see him enjoying himself being helpful.
The groceries in Bloomington are really good about that, they have a great local resource to help them get employed. As you said, they are always happy to be working. There are a few that love to chat up customers while they bag groceries.
