The manager of a Chipotle in Kansas was fired and could face criminal chargers after he allegedly pulled off a Muslim teen's hijab to see her hair.
Areej Saifan, 19, said she was working at the Chipotle in Lenexa, Kansas, on August 9, when her assistant manager kept telling her to remove her hijab.
'He kept asking to see my hair,' she said. 'I kept telling him to stop and no, and I just tried to ignore it. So I went back to work, and he just came behind me, pulled my scarf, and I really don't have any idea what like would make someone do, like do that.'
Chipotle fired the man and said in a statement, 'we have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination of any kind and we terminated the employee in question nearly two weeks ago following a thorough investigation.'
