“From Rejection to Triumph: How One Pregnant Woman Turned a Job Denial into Her Biggest Win!”
Lindsey said yes, and was honest ahead of time, telling the restaurant that she was pregnant at the time.
Nevermind…
Unfortunately, the employee messaging Lindsey on Facebook retracted the interview offer after finding out Lindsey was pregnant.
Lindsey was disheartened and she sent a screenshot of her conversation to Felix.
Felix’s Outrage
Felix shared the screenshot on Facebook saying, “Let me just say this is wrong and I’m pretty sure illegal, and they won’t get another dollar from me.”
People were outraged by the interaction when Felix shared it online and Lindsey’s story went viral.
Legal Advice
According to State and Federal laws in the United States, it is illegal to discriminate against someone who is pregnant because it is just their current circumstance.
Many legal experts advised that Lindsey has every right to sue if she wanted and it would cost the restaurant.
The Face Of Struggling Moms
Many people commented on and shared the post which led to patrons protesting the diner. News outlets picked up the story and shared it as well.
Lindsey had unintentionally become the face of struggling moms everywhere.
The Restaurant Owner Apologized
When the restaurant owner realized what had happened it was a bit too late. People were already boycotting his restaurant and he was losing business.
