    My oldest grandson has autism, he loves to work, hes made fun of, they say hes to slow. But I found him to be so kind and loving. I said to him, what do you want to do, he replied I want to work in the church, Do it, I replied. now he has his own apartment.

    Paying a disabled person less than minimum wage is a insult and should be frown upon and as a disabled person I’m by myself when fighting what I want

    Such amazing people who start these kind of places for people with disabilities to work, Shame the rest of the world can't follow suit.
    EDIT. Also the layout of the shop and its contents are impeccable, impressive.

    People that normal need to work with people with disabilities.and to train to be pertinent and kind to one another. People with disabilities will grow better and people to take times to be honest. We can do a lot better then this america by bot fixing and to fix people problems
