I was 19 when this happened. I’m a plus size girl who’s confident in my body. I’ve been working at the same big chain restaurant since I was 15 years old. It was my first job. (It’s what one would call higher end fast food).

After a long year of waiting the company agreed to a mediation by an outside neutral party. I negotiated and was awarded 15K in damages. I’m not sure what happened to him but the company must be PISSED. He messed with the wrong pre law student
