HOUSTON -- A Texas teen believes she was denied a job at Subway because of the color of her skin.Katelyn Simmons intended to spend her summer vacation by working and earning money before senior year. But the Klein High School student's plans went south after she received a text message.The teen applied to work at a Subway restaurant at Champion Forest and Cypresswood, where a friend employed there checked with her manager on the application via text messaging."Girl brought in her application. I'm leaving it on the table for you tomorrow," the employee said.The manager replied, "Ok thanks. How she look?""Black girl long dark hair. Shortish," the employee stated."Oh no thanks," the manager responded. "I don't want those people in our store lol."The friend took a screenshot of the correspondence and showed Katelyn."It cut me deep," Katelyn recalled. "I was hurt."Katelyn then showed her mom, Timika Simmons, and contacted Subway."I was in disbelief," Timika said. "I was a little stunned."Katelyn heard from a regional manager."She didn't apologize," Katelyn said. "She just said, 'Please get back to me, so we can get to the store, so we can get to the bottom of this and talk about it.' But that was about it."ABC7's sister station ABC13 Eyewitness News in Houston went to the store and was told the manager no longer works there.Subway sent Eyewitness News this statement:Katelyn has no plans to re-apply."My biggest thing was I just wanted to be heard that this is not OK," Simmons said. "I just want Subway to do something and say this is not how we do things."She may not have to wait long for a summer job. Several employers, including Quench IV Studio, contacted her about a job. Katelyn is expected to start with Quench in the coming days.The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission takes these types of accusations seriously. The agency says if this ever happens to you, report it to the EEOC . Don't wait long, there's a time limit on when you can file a claim.
