Well, Harlan said something to the effect that they have to hire under
the same criteria as a normal person if reasonable accomidations can
be made.

Retail sales people at Toys R Us HAVE to be able to see. Someone asks
a price of something or "can you help me find this or that" or
whatever..They need to be able to see every bit as much as a baseball
player needs to be able to run..it's PART OF THE JOB..

I can't think of a single retail job at Toy's R Us that can be done by
someone who is blind. It's not that kind of store...

I have 5 kids, and have shopped them for years...it's a mad house
sometimes
