A former supervisor at an Applebee's in New Jersey is suing the restaurant chain, alleging she was fired after she asked a bar patron who made racist comments about Muslims to leave.
The customer allegedly told Breaud a bartender at the restaurant, who is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit,"was participating in the offensive, discriminatory conversation" and had done nothing to stop it.
Breaud said the general manager called her that night and berated her for asking the customer to leave the restaurant. The manager told her she should have asked the offended customers to move to another area of the restaurant. After she was fired, Breaud said she wrote a letter to the defendants documenting the incident on May 13 and detailing the hostile work environment that"made it nearly impossible for her to perform her duties," the lawsuit alleges.
