Romero said she started at the Popeyes in February as a cashier, mostly in the drive-through. She alleged in her complaint to the labor commissioner that she was victimized by a child labor violation about once every two weeks.

“One day while I was working he pepper sprayed an unhoused woman who was refusing to leave and I watched her run out covering her face. Another day when I arrived to pick up my check there were ambulances around because he had pepper sprayed someone else.”
