Whatever happened to freedom from religion? I think I would be reluctant to go to a restaurant with a Moslem waitress who shoved it down everyone's throat. What if the baked potato exploded?
The best bet for employers is to find some slicky reason not to hire anyone of African or Middle eastern descent. That way this wont happen.

She has no case, anyway.
FTA: "...you have to follow the Chicken Express uniform policy and it lists out what it is and it doesn't involve anything else...."
Maybe she couldn't read English very well.....

We know this was strategic and purposeful. How much do you want to bet when she applied for the job she was NOT wearing the hijab. Then when she goes to work in it, the plan went into action. Growing numbers of mosques in Ft. Worth.

I really don't trust any of them wearing their Muslim garb. Muslims are taught to kill "infidels", and I really don't want them preparing food for me.

As our President would say, “There’s a real beauty.”
Frankly, when I see a covered employee, I walk right out of a business.

This is why Islam should never be acknowledged as an actual religion. It is a vicious political meme with a sole purpose of conquering/overthrowing governments. End of story. They have a uniform and a cult following but they are not religious people.

Never ever hire a Muslim to work anywhere. Or an obese person to work in a restaurant.
I’m with #12 and have left shops where the salesgirls are wearing hijabs and long black tunics.

Stop apologizing. Either you have a dress code or you don't. If you can't enforce said dress code, don't have one. Good grief! I hate how leftists have dumbed down society. There are so many incompetent people in the workforce today. Everybody wants to get freakin paid, but they want to do mediocre work or work under their own rules. As a boss, you can't demand the standards, because their feelings will get hurt. Bump that!

The manager should have asked Stefanae to show him in the Quran where she must wear a hijab.

FTA: "The manager was using a strict interpretation of the company policy that does not allow derivations from the standard employee uniform, and he unfortunately did not take religious liberty into consideration."
I wonder whether the company policy allows Christian crosses or medals, or Jewish Stars of David to be worn/displayed. I doubt we'd be seeing the vitriol directed at the worker if that "strict interpretation" involved removal of one of those articles of religious garb and the wearer told to comply. Religious freedom is just that. Like gun and speech rights, there are forces at work against them...and they are after YOURS.
