Generally speaking, employees were supposed to learn how to cut keys first and then, the longer they worked, learn how to engrave gifts and sell some of the higher priced items. Moreover, the kiosk was so small that only one employee was needed to work there at a time. As the summer progressed, I had been at the job for about five weeks before another employee was hired -- who happened to be of the same ethnic makeup as the manager at this particular location.

Despite the fact that I had been working at this location much longer than the other employee, I was not surprised when at the start of one….....
