An Area Woman employed at Generic Company in Greenwood, MS refused to run off restaurant menus this week when asked by her supervisor. She is currently out on maternity leave.
"I was flabbergasted," said Supervisor Sue Diggs, who is not from the Delta. "I simply asked her to copy one side of a sheet of paper, run it back through and fold it in half. She said, 'Oh, I can't do that,'" Diggs said.
Diggs then offered to teach Area Woman how to use the copier. She refused, continuing to assert her inability to learn.
Diggs has consulted Child Protective Services.
"If this woman is mentally retarded, she does not have any business being placed in a customer service position, much less bearing the responsibility of raising a human life," Diggs said. "I am very concerned. Children deserve a good home with mentally competent parents."
Management of Generic Company says the Woman was mentally capable of performing the duty for which she was hired.
Diggs disagrees. "You can't just blame it on laziness. What kind of a lazy person insults herself in efforts to avoid work? Does she honestly believe she can't learn to copy paper?"
A Child Protective Services spokesperson would not comment. Area Woman could not be reached. Sources says the Woman will give birth to her third child in August.
