I find the physical test was way too hard, unneeded, and unfair. I think is a really sad story because these people are willing to do anything in order to provide for their families. One of the women who was applying for the job even run barefoot for the test because she has lost her last pair of sneakers and does not have any more shoes. It is heartbreaking.
