A Muslim family claims religious discrimination in a complaint seeking monetary damages from a Massachusetts McDonald's that put bacon on a sandwich.
The complaint is the first step in the process for seeking monetary damages, said Barbara Dougan, a CAIR lawyer. She also hopes it prompts McDonald's to better train its workers to prevent a similar incident in the future.
An email seeking comment was left with McDonald's corporate headquarters in Chicago. A message was also left with someone who answered the phone at Gomez Enterprises LLC, which operates the McDonald's on Meadow Street in Chicopee."McDonald’s made my children and me feel unwanted and worthless by intentionally stuffing a fish sandwich full of bacon for no other reason than to punish us for our faith and religious convictions," the woman, Ghadir Alahmar, said in a statement.
