12. Our Friend Is So Afflicted

But, she's very high functioning especially since my wife and her became friends and my wife started treating her like any other person. (Her family did not.)

No way would any business do that to her. She actually has a part time job, and could probably work at most of those places. She works with some other afflicted folks who are far less functional than she, but i can't imagine any of those i met ever being troublesome or disruptive.

The people at the store see her shopping with my wife and they treat her and talk with her no differently than they do my wife.

So, perhaps we have one bad cashier, and one bad store manager here.
