Dominick’s Deli and Discrimination

While some discrimination is intentional, thousands of people have ended up in court for discrimination, when they didn’t realize they were doing it.

For example, at Dominick’s, the number-two deli person is called the Second Deli Man, even if the person is a woman. This may not sound so bad, and standing alone, it probably isn’t. But when the store was hit with a class-action suit by 1,500 women, this was one of the pieces of evidence. Little things can add up to a big headache in court.
