I think it is laughable the number of times that the black woman calls her job (amongst mostly whites) “a living hell” and “torment”, when the primary complaint is that she was often assigned to do “menial tasks” like chopping veggies rather than the nicer jobs of food prep and serving. (She also alleges lots of arguments and epithets, but I’d bet a bag of donuts that she was the instigator in most cases.)

Yep. Why this case ever reached the Supreme Court is beyond me.

Alito: "What was the most unpleasant thing that Davis could have assigned [Vance] to do? Could it be chopping onions all day, every day?"
Her attorney: "Chopping onions all day might be punishment" and could trigger a workplace retaliation or discrimination claim.

*sigh*

As an amateur chef I would reserve the right to even preclude somebody from chopping my veggies if warranted.

Oh, in my early days I spent full shifts busing tables and washing dishes and came home smelling like stale ice cream.
