In 2001, Susan Scholz was fired from her sales clerk's job at the Walgreens store in North Mall after refusing to work on Sundays. The Christian Reformed Church, of which she was a member, prohibited working on Sunday. Therefore, she did not go to work on those days even though she was scheduled to do so.
