Could this happen at any other store? From
the St. Petersburg Times:
Molly Beavers lost her smile early on in her 19-year career of pushing food samples and collecting grocery carts she could barely see over.
Her scowl may have cost her the job.
A Sam's Club manager fired her in December 2003 for not smiling enough, she says. Beavers' face is partially paralyzed from surgery related to her condition as an achondroplastic dwarf.
Beavers, 49, filed an Americans With Disabilities Act complaint in federal court Friday, alleging that Sam's Club and parent company Wal-Mart discriminated against her when they fired her. She claims they knew about her health problems and failed to accommodate her.
For a company that's so big on smiling, Wal-Mart seems like a very sad place.
