A Queens woman has filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against Krispy Kreme in federal court.
Tumpa Saha, 34, who is Hindu, worked at the Times Square flagship store on Broadway with permission to wear a Shaka — required religious bracelets that show she is married, she said in court papers.
But after nearly two years as a cashier and “doughnut specialist,” things turned sour for Saha last month when a shift supervisor informed her, “I know you were already approved for a religious accommodation by a previous manager, but now the new manager said you have to take off your religious bracelets if you want to keep working,” according to a Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit.
Tumpa Saha, 34, alleges the company knew of her need for religious accommodation when she interviewed in 2022, and she would not have taken the job if they had not agreed.She later received a written notice from an HR rep that her religious accommodation was denied but that she could take on a new role handling trash, she said in the legal filing.
