She worked at the store from July 2011-July 2012 but says she was resigned because of how she was treated.

Jones alleged her manager referred to Jones' girlfriend as "that thing that comes to visit her at work."

She also said that when she took lunch breaks her manager would ask if she were going to eat fried chicken.
