BUSTED: Sonny’s waitress fired for reporting sexual harassment caught the illegal firing on tape

"North Carolina waitress was fired after telling supervisors at her restaurant that a manager groped her, WBTV-TV reports.

Lauren Jones told the station she was a waitress at Sonny’s Barbecue in Charlotte for about a month when her manager came up behind her and grabbed her butt at the end of her shift.

“I immediately turned around with my left elbow, and kind of surprisingly looked at him in his face, and said ‘What the hell do you think you’re doing?’” she told WBTV.

Jones decided to report the incident to prevent it from happening again.

“I specifically told him I’m not looking for a lawsuit, I’m not looking for anything. If we can handle in the four walls of Sonny’s, I’m ok with that,” she told the station.

But what happened next surprised her. She was fired in a meeting with the restaurant’s general manager and Ed Tubel, who owns the Sonny’s franchise. The manager she accused of grabbing her was also present."
