    They hire disabled people because they can legally pay them less then minimum wage. They aren’t the good guys.

        people on disability are only allowed to make a very small amount of money per month, usually 1000 or less, or they lose their benefits. I’m guessing that’s why

          But they still get minimum wage I assume, just schedule fewer hours.
