OK, what is going on with the SC's at my bar?? Last night we had the lady who wanted a job so she could take over the bar, and now this guy! Now I must make it clear that I am in no way making fun of anyone during this story.
There's a group of people that come into the bar once a week. Most of them have some kind of disability. With them are three carers who order their food for them and take them about ect ect.
One of the carers comes up to me.
SC: Hmmm, I notice you don't have any disabled people behind the bar.
Me: Ermm...
I was speechless. I didn't know what to say.
SC: That's discrimination.
Me: Well, to be honest, I don't think we've ever had a disabled person apply for a job here...
SC: I bet you have, and I bet they weren't hired because of their disability.
Me: Well, like I said, I don't think I have ever seen someone with a disability ask for a job here. The problem is that it can be quite a demanding job behind the bar and on the floor when it gets busy.
SC: Well how do you know until you hire them?
Me: OK, I don't want to get into a debate or anything here, but I just don't think it would work out. I am not being cruel or anything...
SC: Just discriminatory.
Me: No, it can get crazy behind the bar, and I just don't believe it would be a very good idea.
SC: OK, well I think you need to rethink your hiring policies. It's wrong that disabled people can't get a job here.
He walked away.
Like I said, I don't want to be cruel, but there is no way anyone with a physical or mental handicap could work behind the bar. It gets so busy behind that bar, that people are usually non stop serving between the hours of 5pm and 11pm.
