I detest religion, but I absolutely believe it's wrong to violate someone's religious apparel. But you touched on what makes it even more vile. I knew there was something that made this feel worse and it's that a man felt secure violating the space of a woman. He should be charged for two violations. Thanks for articulating what I felt but couldn't quite find.
Ya, ripping off any clothing should be at least sexual harassment.
Ya, ripping off any clothing should be at least sexual ~~harassment~~ assault.
The federal government won't sue for sexual harassment, the employee would have to file a lawsuit herself.
Dude literally couldn’t hear the word “no” coming out of her mouth.
Oh he heard it, he just ignored it.
The employee complained to another supervisor that the incidents made her uncomfortable, but no further action was taken against the manager, the complaint said. One night during closing in August 2021, the manager allegedly reached out and pulled her hijab partially off her head.
That’s so infuriating - she reported the guy and nothing happened. Not until he tried to literally rip a piece of clothing off of her because he felt entitled to see her hair.
It took two years for them to file a lawsuit. I hope that isn't typical.
Pretty typical when it comes to fast food employees. You got kids managing kids, who often don't know shit about anything.
They probably brought it up to someone also inexperienced, who dropped the ball, and somewhere along the way, a actual professional realized the wtfness and moved it forward.
When I worked in fast food, my manager was two years older than me, and he didn't know shit about anything not related to the food.
I would think that neither of them would likely work there still.
Forcefully removing an employee's clothes without consent. Yeah, seems like there should be consequences for that.
You would think a hijab is more sanitary than hair in a food service place.
There's no logic here. He wanted to control her and got pissed when it didn't work.
"Your hijab is not regulation. Here, have this much more exposed hairnet that does the same thing but not as well."
Chipotle's defense is probably going to be, "We're not responsible for the actions of individual franchise owners."
Fun (maybe?) fact, all Chipotle restaurants are corporate owned, they don't franchise.
Cool, didn't know that. That makes their court case stronger.
That's always been McDonalds defense.
"Oh, an employee took a shit in the deep fryer? We the McDonald's corporation will write a strong letter denouncing shitting in the fryer and will forward it to the franchise owner. Now go and eat our other shit."
Which, honestly, is understandable assuming they also take away the person's franchise rights. I doubt corporate policy is to have people remove hijabs.
