BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

Burger King Fired Pentecostal Teen Who Refused To Wear Pants, Lawsuit Claims


McShan says that she explained in her Burger King job interview in August 2010 that her religious beliefs require strict adherence to Scripture, which for her meant that as a female she had to wear skirts or dresses and never pants. Her interviewer, a manager at the local franchisee, Fries Restaurant Management, purportedly told her that a skirt was completely fine, and hired her as a cashier. But when McShan showed up for orientation soon after at a Burger King in Grand Prairie, Texas, a different manager allegedly told her that the skirt was unacceptable and she had to leave.

Skirts are not modest enough I guess. Way back in the day, a new convert was allowed to wear a skirt over pants as a carhop.

I wonder what other religions have that particular dress code? And if they would be allowed to dress that way at BK?

The article goes on to talk about all the lawsuits that Muslums have won against companies who wouldnt allow them wear their dresses or head scarfs...

I hope she and her parents filed a lawsuit.

[AreYouReady?]

Yes. It is such a small request to allow this young lady to wear what her beliefs require.

Yikes. This doesn't seem Scriptural.
Go get a job somewhere else.

Muslims have the right to impose thier beliefs on our industry. Why not Christians ?
