I think you're onto something with the picker not being able to read the
print-out, the picker in this case was obviously blind!

The rhubarb was, I assume, on the print-out so would have been printed
before reaching any pickers. To be classified as having learning
difficulties a person needs to have an IQ of less than 80. George Bush
is alleged to have an IQ of 82 and does a damned sight more than pack
shelves. Nevertheless, an adult with learning difficulties might have a
mental age of a child but they wouldn't be able to do the job of picking
if they couldn't read the print out. I'm sure I could tell what rhubarb
was when I was a child old enough to read. Finally, you would be
surprised what people with learning difficulties are capable of. Once
taught something, they are as capable as a *normal* person, if not more
so. I thought one of the rules of this list was not to discriminate
against anyone. It seems that this derogation of people with learning
difficulties is getting close to the knuckle. Even though it has not
been directed at an individual, I'm sure list members would be up in
arms if similar statements were made about the VI as a group.=20
If learning difficulties had not been mentioned in the past, the logical
conclusion would have been computer error.

Someone pointed out earlier on in the week that the people who pack
the s=3D
hopping have all got learning difficulties which would explain it.
