Some ADA LOOT_OctoPromoter sent Big Don the following:
> [...]
>Assumption: A person with mental retardation cannot be trained to perform
>a job as well as an employee without a disability.
>
>Fact: Over two-thirds of the 4,000 participants in Pizza Hut, Inc.'s "Jobs
>Plus Program" are persons with mental retardation. The current turnover
>rate among these employees with disabilities is a modest 20% compared to
>the 150% turnover rate of employees without disabilities. This means a
>drop in recruitment and training costs.

Question:  Does Pizza Hut charge for the *drool* as an "extra topping"?

The Bell Curve has an outstanding discussion of why you don't want dumb
employees (it's in the non-controversial first-half of the book which
few of the reviewers read because it deals only with white people). 
See, in particular, Chapter 3, "Economic Pressure to Partition" which
discusses the way people with different IQs end up in different jobs.
(pg 78-79).
