Chick-Fil-A responded to our request for comment, saying:
“The operator reached out to (Autumn) Williams today and had a good conversation.
In further detail, the operator explained that the policy was misinterpreted and said Williams was not terminated and she’s more than welcome to come back and work at the restaurant.”
Haha. Someone got their ass reamed by corporate HR & Legal.
- I hope she told them that she requires that supervisor be moved to a different location.
  
  She says in the article she's finding other employment and doesn't want to work there any more.
- I can almost guarantee that it was a friendly conversation. HR reams employees, not managers. They will protect managers like they are family, typically.
Don't mix religious nuts with my fast food.... Anyways, CFA isn't even that good anymore.
EU Block. Damn. I was expecting to see a photo of a completely normal hair color so that I could raise one of my eyebrows in confusion.
- Wish granted.
  
  Ah. Is she half black? Or super tanned? Is that why it is an issue that she has bleached hair? I was expecting something more wild instead of blonde.
- Try this link?
