The M&S in the centre of Cambridge still does - he does the basket collection/sticking by the door job. I'm assuming he gets minimum wage.

which for M&S and a company of that size not an issue and he's doing a service but many a time the company is doing a service to the people they are working with in giving them life skills and such like... many small companies up and down the country...

M&s in soho has one aswell but they let him operate the tills. its fucking horrendous, always avoid him like the plague

I think the ideas fucking ridiculous. If the government want to force/help the disabled into work why don't they offer companies incentives such as tax brakes (or offer to contribute towards the wages) if they employ disabled workers.

As far as I can see, all this idea will do is exploit the vulnerable

Sainsbury's at the Arnison Centre has an old tourettes fella. He gives out dog's abuse to every fucker...
