I absolutely HATE stories like this. A former employee of the Versace Outlet store in Pleasanton California filed suit back in November in Alameda Superior Court against them citing unfair business practises after he(Christopher Sampiro 23 yrs old) was fired for working in the store just 2 weeks. During his initial training a manager told him that whenever a black person enters the store, he was told to say "D410 Code" casually during conversation. So that other employees would know that there were black shoppers in the store. Ewww, that is just disgusting. And I believe every word of it. So he instructed the Manager that he himself was African American. Christopher says that he has 1/4 African American blood in him. He goes on to further state that he wasn't given "legitimate training" his training basically stopped after that and that he didn't get paid for all of the hours that he worked and that he was not given breaks Sampiro was fired after working two weeks in September because he didn't "understand luxury" and didn't "know the luxury life," according to the lawsuit. Come on now, really? There is one thing black people know and that is what luxury is. We know we cant afford it but we try to achieve it if at all possible, even if we have to buy knockoffs and imitation items. LOL No word on when the trial will begin but I'll keep you advised as it winds its way through the process. A case status conference is set for Mar 21 2017.
