I'm really glad that you rejected that reward and treated him like a human being. The guy might be the nicest guy ever who was just in a freak accident or his face was disfigured by helping someone.

I would have taken the guys order and gave him the food. And maybe if he needed it, some help sitting down or getting it out the door. :)

If his order was refused, he could have called human rights service and got the place sued or shut down :twisted:

It seems like almost everyone here would have taken his order, that's a good thing. Anyway, when I rejected her reward I hope she can take a hint and realize that she should have been a professional.

I would feel satisfied if she got fired, but oh well.

Anyway good for you. It would have been real odd if the guy was just standing there for half an hour just waiting for someone to take his order.

I don't know about that. Most stores "reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" I think that's how the saying goes. I haven't seen that sign in quite awhile though.

It is quite messed up, kinda like how fat people get treated...

Wait a minute. Stores have the option to not serve me? Does it have to be a logical reason for not serving me or can they do it without a reason?

I don't think most places do that. And if the person was obviously disfigured, he could very easily file a successful lawsuit.

I work in a grocery store,i have seen my share of deformed people and some of them smelt like old stale piss.But they are people also and i treat them just like i would any other regular pizza.The answer to your question was yes,i would have taken the order,and i would have had a small conversation with him to while the order was being completed.I am glad you treated him with the kindness that you did,the rest of you in this thread making fun of him can go to hell.

Your co-workers are lame. I serve de-formed people quite often at the Wendy's I work at (Probably has something to do with a hospital being across the street) and have no trouble doing it. The only thing that bugs me is when they catch me by surprise and I have to quickly keep from reacting badly.....

We actually have a regular who I believe is a nurse and her fingers are all shortened (about half the size they should be) and they are mishapen a bit.

"Just look at him" isn't a reason. Morons. Nice boss. I would have taken his order, unless his deformity caused uncontrollable laughter, which has unfortunately happened to me before. I would feel too bad laughing while taking the order, so I simply wouldn't do it because I wouldn't want to make him feel bad.

Poor guy. I once saw this old guy, probably about 80, and his whole face had collapsed in, like I dont know if he could close his toothless mouth. Scared the **** outta me when I just caught a glimpse of him, but I felt sorry.

Everyone that works there should be shot in teh face. That's what I think.killercuts3

You mean shot with common sense right? Seriously though, the staff is totally shallow. Isn't this kinda illegal? I mean not wanting to service the guy because of how that one looked? That's called discrimination, and I totally show zero tollernance for that in a work force.

These people should be written up and or fired!

I don't use Wikipedia as a credible source, because you could have very well gone and edited the definition listed. There's a reason college professors don't allow students to use Wikipedia as a referenced source.

Secondly... here's a revision from months ago. Still refers to it as an emotion. So no, I didn't edit it.

What's your point with the false dichotomy? You are claiming it as an emotion, and I'm saying it is a reaction. Sure there are other possibilities, but that definition of emotion clearly shows that disgust is not an emotion.

Here's another source to back up my claim: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/disgust

And concerning Wikipedia, whether or not you wrote the article is irrelevant. My point was that anybody can write articles for Wikipedia, thus it is not a reliable source.

I find it kinda sad, he's a person who has the right to be served fairly like anyone else. But I suppose in that situation I would probably be just like your work mater. But I think I might do it if absolutely no one else was going too.

Wikipedia has been demonstrated to be reliable. Especially the larger, more heavily scrutinised articles.

That other source shows over and over that disgust is caused by encountering something external, thus falling under the definition of reaction.

And please show me some proof that Wikipedia is reliable. Just because lots of people cite it daily in online forums does not make it reliable.

*sigh* you really don't get it, do you? It is in this case both a reaction and an emotion. Just because it meets the definition of 'reaction' does not mean that it is not an emotion. And given that it is 'an affective state of consciousness' (unless you're willing to argue that it's volitional or cognitive :lol: ), then it does indeed meet the definition of emotion.

"Nature.com decided to conduct a small test to see how Wikipedia would fare against the Encyclopedia Britannica. Working from a statistically small sample of 42 randomly chosen science articles, the results show that the two are closer than many would assume. On average, Wikipedia had 33 percent more errors, with 162 "factual errors, omissions or misleading statements, " as compared to 123 for Britannica. In terms of egregious errors involving inaccurately explained concepts or misinterpretations of data, the experts found four instances in each of the two encyclopedias."

So Wikipedia has 33% more errors than Britannica. Only 33% more than a professionally edited encyclopedia means it can be considered comparably reliable.

Anyway... off to college.

Lol, I always see you arguing with someone, Funky. :P

FallofAthens

:D 'tis fun.

I see you get a kick out of it. Don't tell the TCWU I said this, but if it makes you happy go for it. :lol:

Hang on, I thought you were agnostic. Since when were you in the TCWU? :P

For awhile now, lol. I just don't evangelize like they do. Hmm... so I come off as agnostic..? Strange, I guess I should spread God's word more loudly then. Thanks Funky. :P J/K

What have I done?! :P

That other source shows over and over that disgust is caused by encountering something external, thus falling under the definition of reaction.

And please show me some proof that Wikipedia is reliable. Just because lots of people cite it daily in online forums does not make it reliable.

Your links to that "small test" lead to an article that is no longer there.
