My brother has Down syndrome. He is thirty four and he bags groceries at the same store he has worked at for sixteen years. He knows every regular by name. Last year a new manager transferred in and started cutting his hours. Said he was too slow. Said customers wanted efficiency. My brother came home confused and quiet. He kept asking what he did wrong. He did nothing wrong and telling him that did not fix the hurt in his face. Then something happened I still cannot talk about without crying.
