Why does a shift lead with an amputated arm not wear a prosthetic? This is at the local Chick-fil-A that I deliver from for Doordash. (Crosspost: r/ChickFilAWorkers)

Why does a shift lead with an amputated arm not wear a prosthetic? This is at the local Chick-fil-A that I deliver from for Doordash. (Crosspost: r/ChickFilAWorkers)

I don't think I'll say his first name because someone here who works at the one Chick-fil-A in my city could tip him off about my post. But he's the one employee there with an amputated arm. I see him on a regular basis because I deliver from there (alongside dozens of other restaurants) for Doordash.

If I had an amputation, I'd be embarrassed to show this to the public, so I'd get a prosthetic arm ASAP. So why doesn't the Chick-fil-A shift lead get a prosthetic arm? Chick-fil-A employees get good health insurance from their employer, right?

He still has his upper arm; he's amputated at the elbow.

I hope this is just some fucked up post to piss people off. Otherwise you are just a dick.

Now imagine someone saying “If I had autism, I would be embarrassed to be in public…”

It's not his job to manage other people's discomfort and embarrassment at the fact he is an amputee. He is not obligated to make other people feel more comfortable.

My suggestion to you would be to keep your nose firmly in your own business, where it belongs, and refrain from sticking it into other people's business.

(FYI - autism does not give you an automatic pass to be rude, offensive and insulting. My son is autistic, and I would be absolutely devastated [and mortified] if he went around being a pass-remarkable so and so, and trying to justify it by saying he is autistic).

You’re so bothered by a stranger doing something with their own body that doesn’t affect you in any way, that you post it in two subs? Grow up.

How did you think this post would go down? You're posting to a whole community of people with amputations that you'd be ashamed and embarrassed to be in their position. Honestly, go fuck yourself.
