A Disneyland Paris employee was fired after guests complained he refused to put both whipped cream and Nutella on their waffles, according to French reports.

The employee, identified as 20-year-old Loris Taboureau, was working at Les Chariots Gourmands, a food stand that sells waffles with various toppings, on June 26 when guests asked for both whipped cream and Nutella, according to his dismissal letter seen by Le Parisien newspaper.

The 20-year-old told them that they had to choose one of the two toppings — Nutella or whipped cream — which is a standard policy, the letter said.

He told Le Parisien that had he given them both toppings, other guests in line would have expected the same special treatment, and he would have been in trouble for going against the theme park policy, The Sunday Times reported.

The guests later complained about Taboureau's tone to Disneyland Paris customer service, saying he was "nonchalant," according to Le Parisien. Several weeks later — on August 14 — he was fired.

Taboureau believes that he was dismissed as part of a "witch hunt" because he took part in industrial action strikes earlier this year. His name and photograph were previously published by Le Monde in an article about the strikes.

"I'm upset. It's a company in which I liked to work and to which I dedicated my days for a year," Taboureau told Le Parisien, according to a translation by WDW News Today.

"The only time I failed to bring the magic to life, I was immediately fired," he added.

Disney employees took part in the strikes in May and in June in pursuit of a €2,400 (roughly $2,600) rise in annual pay.

Photos published by EuroNews on June 19 showed workers marching through the park, which French strike laws allow them to do. While the strikes have paused for now, they are set to resume in September, according to WDW News Today.

According to a petition in support of the strikers, activists say five Disneyland Paris employees have been issued with dismissal notices on false premises.

A Disneyland Paris spokesperson told The Sunday Times: "We do not comment on internal procedures related to individual situations."

The company did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
