Chick-fil-A franchisee refused to hire 'ghetto Black' employees, lawsuit says
Source: Independent
A Black operations executive at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in suburban Philadelphia is suing the chain after being forced to endure incessant bigotry from the franchise owner, according to a federal civil rights lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
For nearly two full years, Tiffany Lynch, 38, was subjected to a barrage of discriminatory and stereotypical comments related to her race and the race of other Black employees or clientele, her complaint alleges.
Among other things, Chick-fil-A Wayne Square owner-operator Joshua Grimm, who is white, regularly used the N-word, insinuated that Black people smell, that they are going to be cheap, and that they require extra cleanup, according to the complaint.
If Lynch tried to bring aboard a Black employee, Grimm would question her judgment, and attempted to discourage certain hires, asking if they were Nasir Black referring to a well-spoken and professional Black male employee who once worked at the Wayne Square location or if they were ghetto Black, the complaint states.

McDonald's chicken nuggets taste better than what chikfila serves.
But there are people who seem to like it.

Given they are controlled by Christians, I can't say I am surprised that they have racists in management.
