Well, this is just sad.
I don’t have any desire to mock or insult literal retards.
But there’s a reason they don’t have jobs.
This is clearly just an exploitation of the retards, as this company just bullies people into thinking they are bad people if they don’t eat at the retard cafe.
“I want to have a job like you.”
French entrepreneur Yann Bucaille-Lanrezac remembers the day he met Theodore, a young boy on the autism spectrum, during a cruise for an organization he created for those with special needs.
“He came to me and he said, ‘I heard that you are a boss, can you give me a job?’ ” Bucaille-Lanrezac told The Post.
When Bucaille-Lanrezac told Theodore he didn’t have a job, the boy responded, “No, you don’t understand. I know I have a disability that can be useful. I want to have a job like you.”
Bucaille-Lanrezac began to realize that the best charity wasn’t simply to take these people on a boat.
That memory led Bucaille-Lanrezac to open Café Joyeux, a French family of inclusive café-restaurants that solely recruits individuals with cognitive and intellectual disabilities, giving opportunities to those who otherwise might not have them.
“They are capable. We want to show to the world that it’s possible,” he told The Post.
“It’s to have them be part of society, be part of the game, have a role to play.”
The Upper East Side cafe opened Thursday — a symbolic day as it also happens to be World Down Syndrome Day.
Over 7 million Americans have mental or cognitive disabilities, and 80% of them are unemployed — but Bucaille-Lanrezac hopes to change that.
I can tell you this: I’m not going to this retard cafe.
