"I watched as my bagger, a gentleman with Down's Syndrome, struggled to bag my things and accidentally rip the paper bag."

Seems to me that the Market Basket stores have bent over backward to find a job for everyone.

I noticed several grocery stores have gone deep into the labor pool when hiring baggers. I have no problem with this, and candidly those who may be "slower" than your average citizen are, on balance, more courteous, put more care into not putting the potatos on top of the bread, and don't have attitude.

And they're legal.

A Publix in Atlanta has a blind bagger. She’s been working there for years.

I’d rather see them employed trying to earn their keep than have them as a drag on society.
