0n early 2001 my wife trained a new manager at the Northridge Mall in Milwaukee as she was being demoted. It all began when she found out that minorities there were paid less than caucasians. After she complained Zales, they proceeded NOT to pay her salary for FOUR months. Then they demoted her to the Fond du Lac store and made her train her replacement. I am her husband and one day i was talking to her replacement Justin. I asked how peole can afford this jewelry as i saw an African-American man buy a 3,000.00 necklace. He said, (i have an affidavit on this), "you know, "I dont care if these monkeys are drug dealers, i'll take their money." I protested to Zales and so did my wife that their is no excuse for such rascism. Zales promoted him to a better store in Appleton wisconsin. When I brought this up to Lonnie Schlefke at the Fond du Lac store (she is still the manager) Lonnie stated (and i will wear in another affidavit) Oh you colored people are always trying to get * for free or you * if you dont. Im so sick of you brown people. "we complained to Zales and they laughed in our face, fired my wife while she was on FMLA and banned us from their stores, even though we have thousands of dollars in Zales jewelry that need to be inspected every 6 months to maintain their warranties. We cant do that. Why??? They ripped off our civil rights and shortchanged all minorities who worked for them by paying them less because of their skin colo
