The Goodwill in Washington Iowa fired a thirty-year-old employee with Down syndrome after his mother bought him a $3 shirt. Goodwill initially refused to sell the shirt because of a policy banning employees from making purchases on days they were working. Another employee intervened and approved the sale after the employee's mother explained both that she was a family member and not an employee, and that the employee with Down syndrome had no interest in buying clothes. When the employee reported to work the next day, he was fired.

Sounds like a control issue to me.
Here is the president of that companies email. jnock@goodwillheartland.org
Sounds to me like they need some feedback on their decision, especially since the mother bought it and she doesn't work there. If you read further, it looks like he got fired because he was making to much.
sounds like total screw job here they shouldnt have fired this guy if it was in fact his mother that bought the shirt .... that would be like saying someone that works at giant or superfresh should be fired because one of their family members shopped there ..... what the hell is this country coming too is Obama's stupidness rubbing off on people now ?
