A female Toll-Taker has threatened to sue her boss after she was warned to stop saying "God bless you."
Cynthia Fernandez said she took the decision because her First Amendment rights were violated .
She told CBS 2:
"As they leave, I said, 'Have a good day, God bless you.' He told me he wanted to talk to me, that I couldn't say, 'God bless you,' anymore to customers because somebody might get offended. It does say, 'Provide customer service, smile' – it does say all that,' But it does not say in any line, 'Do not say, 'God bless you."
According to her lawyer, Greg Noble:
"By saying 'God bless you,' she's expressing herself as a Christian,And if an employer is going to restrain her ability to express herself in that way, not say something based on her religious belief, not disrupting the workplace, that's our concern."She is seeking back pay with benefits and a cash settlement from the authority .She said that she feels like she’s taking a stand for God.
