So you're saying TRU should stop taking applications on line because
1% of the disabled people that may or may not apply on line can't do
so? I hate to burst your bubble but even the OP can apply on line.
Public libraries provide internet service and will gladly supply a
real live person to assist a disabled person fill out online forms.
Lawsuit happy dip-shits are abundant in our society and the cause of
no small amount of harm to the rest of us. Face it he wants to file a
lawsuit over a job he probably couldn't do if hired. I'll be happy to
testify on behalf of TRU should such lawsuit be filed in my area.
