"We went from "not a Rhodes scholar" to "mentally handicapped?" Wow. What a leap!"
You, just combined comments from two different people into one, sorry, but you can't do that. If a person can't differentiate betwen selling 10 boxes of ammo, or one case of ammo that contains 10 boxes, then yes, they are mentally challenged.
"You would have no problem with people you serve coming onto an internet community and insulting you? If I were to insult you, do you think you would take umbrage? I guarantee you would."
You don't seem to understand the difference between insulting a person on the internet without letting anyone know exactly who you are talking about, and actually naming a specific person in your insult. There is a big difference between saying "a stupid wal-mart employee did this" and "John Smith from wal-mart #2305 is a moron"
The first insult is simply letting out steam in an anonymous forum, the second is a personal insult to a specific person that you then name to everyone else.
"You're digressing. We're talking about the attitude of posts on this thread, NOT about confronting a misinformed Walmart employee."
Strange, I thought the posts in this thread were directed at misinformed wal-mart employees.
"Just exactly what do you do?"
I'm an Air Force weapons troop, working around bombs and aircraft.
"One has nothing to do with the other. Your initial insult had to do with them being mentally handicapped. That has nothing to do with "able bodied."
So you don't consider a mentally handicapped person to be NOT able-bodied?
Vice-versa, an able-bodied person is therefore not handicapped. Able-bodied doesn't just refer to physical ability, but mental as well. I would be glad to let a man in a wheelchair be a door greeter, but he sure wouldn't work in the stock room.
"The High Road is not a matter of convenience. It is when it is inconvenient that it becomes "The High Road."
I could have worded that better, but what I mean was, sometimes a thing that is necessary to do does not come across as "the high road" to others.
It is necessary to correct peoples mistakes, even if they sometimes take it as an insult.
I can't control how a person takes my comments, but I can then tell them that those comments were not meant with malice, only to help them improve. Constructive criticism isn't intended as an insult. It's all about the INTENT of the comments, not how they take them.
