“Immediately, I just didn’t feel comfortable making that order,” this alleged employee told Eater. “I’ve been joining in the protests the last couple of days and seeing the extreme brutality on protesters and making that food was not something I felt comfortable with doing.”

Condado Tacos has since released a statement to PJ Media claiming that nobody was fired. “No employees were fired last night,” Condado Tacos said. “A few employees working did express they were uncomfortable with fulfilling the order and after a discussion with their regional manager about their concerns, were given the option to not work on the order. The employees who expressed their concerns chose to not complete their shift last night; however, their jobs remain intact at Condado if they choose to return.”

“Because we understand that emotions and tensions are raw right now, we offered those employees the option to sit out making that order, without repercussion, while other team members handled it,” the restaurant chain continued. “We want to make it clear that they are welcome to return to work, if that is their choice, but they must understand that Condado Tacos is an inclusive business and that we will continue to serve everyone, including law enforcement.”
