Jean Camara is suing Costco for discrimination towards him based on his religion. Costco is well-known for accommodating and treating employees exceptionally well so what could this possibly be over?

He requested to be moved from cart duty to the electronics department which was denied, and 16 days later was let go for insubordinate conduct (after filing a human rights complaint).
"I think that as the case progresses in the trial we are in now, I think the facts are going to come out and they're going to speak for themselves," said Chauncey Henry, Camara's attorney. WABC
Mr. Camara said "We all share different beliefs so we all should be treated equally no matter what belief we have."
