Today, I made a positive remark to the owner of my local groceries store for employing a special needs girl. Not only is the girl not mentally handicapped, she's also the owner's daughter. FML

It's just so hard to tell with some people...

"Your daughter is pretty handicapped around the store. Shit, I meant HANDY. You GOTTA believe me!"

It's better than condemning the owner for employing a special needs girl. At least it was a compliment.

I feel your pain, OP. It can be very hard to tell if someone is "special needs" or not. People are far too complex for that simple judgement to be made and there have been people who I thought were handicapped when turns out they aren't... And vice versa.

Why would you feel that it's necessary to make a remark at all..you deserve it

Ouch.... At least u made a positive remark :).

I think you deserve it just because you pointed it out. Even if she was special needs and not the owner's daughter, you just don't point stuff like that out.

why even compliment them? even if they did hire a special needs girl maybe it would be because she could actually do the job instead of just being special needs. My sons autistic and I would never want someone to choose him for something just because of that but because he can actually do the job
