Dear Ernie,

I forgot to mention to you yesterday that Souper Salad corporate headquarters continues to send me quarterly letters providing me with an update about what my expected "retirement income" from my IRA account with Souper Salad will be. The cited monthly amount of my expected "retirement income" from Souper Salad currently stands at 54 cents, according to the most recent statement issued to me this year by Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio.

I regard it as ironic that while I'm acknowledged as a continuing "financial investor" in Souper Salad Inc. in this way, Souper Salad Inc. refuses to let me dine inside or enter ANY Souper Salad restaurant anywhere in the entire country.

Thank you again, Ernie, for your outstanding advice on this. As for the IRA account with Souper Salad Inc. I have been told that closing the account would cost me a big administrative fee--this is the primary reason why I have not closed that account, I hope that your week is going well for you at Mac Haik Temple.

Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan.

Subject: 4-20-11 legal update re my EEOC complaint vs Souper Salad of San Antonio

Dear U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Officials in Texas and Washington, D.C.,

This is a follow-up legal letter to each of you distinguished federal and state officials relating to my employment-discrimination legal complaint that I previously filed against Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio, Texas. The EEOC number assigned to that legal complaint from myself was: 36A-2009-00422.

I received a long-distance phone call this Tuesday, April 19, 2011, from Ms. Dana Byrd, a female representative for the Human Resources Department at Souper Salad headquarters in San Antonio, in which Ms. Byrd stated to me that I am prohibited by Souper Salad Inc. from ever again being employed by any Souper Salad restaurant anywhere in the country at any time, she informed me. Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio maintains restaurants in numerous states, the vast majority of them being Southern states, with Colorado and Idaho and Nevada and Utah also being among the U.S. states where Souper Salad restaurants are situated.

In her reply phone call to me yesterday, Ms. Byrd also stated to me that I am prohibited by Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio from myself ever at any time entering or dining in or being a paying customer in ANY Souper Salad restaurant anywhere in the country----regardless of the U.S. state where a Souper Salad Inc. restaurant is located, Ms. Byrd indicated to me.

I myself am a civil and law-abiding gentleman, and I have no criminal-conviction record of any type, as I'm sure that your federal agency is well aware. Souper Salad Inc. officials, including Souper Salad Inc. Human Resources Director Vivien Horton, repeatedly acknowledged to me in 2009 that I myself am law-abiding, and that her San Antonio-based corporation acknowledges this fact about myself, she repeatedly acknowledged to me.

Souper Salad Inc. HR Director Vivien Horton also indicated to me in 2009 that she is very aware that I myself lead a permanently and completely alcohol-free and illicit-drug-free and tobacco-free and clean-talking (no verbalized profanity from me) and facially-cleanshaven lifestyle.

As you know, I successfully qualified for unemployment insurance through the Texas Workforce Commission state agency in connection with my having been dismissed very abruptly --- and without any disciplinary write-up of myself relating to that dismissal ---- and also without any prior notice to myself, on June 25, 2009, from my job as a part-time waiter at a Souper Salad restaurant near Highland Mall in Austin, Texas. I had arrived several minutes early for my workshift that morning in 2009, and I was fired at about 11:30 a.m. that same morning by the San Antonio-based Director of Operations for Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio, Mr. Craig Richard. Mr. Richard did not cite any reason for firing me, but he indignantly and angrily ordered me to immediately leave that restaurant workplace of mine. I politely complied with his request.

I bring this entire matter to your attention because I would like to find out from your U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (or any other government official receiving this E-mail follow-up letter from me) whether you now believe or suspect that Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio, Texas, has allegedly violated my legal rights or allegedly wronged me in any context that allegedly or possibly violated the law in any way.

In particular, do you now believe or suspect that Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio, Texas, has allegedly violated the law through any form of allegedly illegal retaliation against me relating to my having filed an employment-discrimination legal complaint on my own behalf against Souper Salad Inc. through your federal agency?

Thank you in advance for your prompt response on this.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, a restaurant waiter in Austin, Texas (with occasional stints in Cedar Park, Texas, and Round Rock, Texas, as well during that period) on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since my birthday of April 27 in 2002.

Subject: text of signed 8-17 appeal to Director Fetzer re: EEOC Charge 36A-2009-00422

Director of the Dallas District Office,
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,

RE: EEOC CHARGE 36A-2009-00422.

August 17, 2010

Dear Dallas District EEOC Director Fetzer,

This is a letter of appeal in which I am respectfully requesting that you please review the documentation I provided and the respondent’s assertions to your federal agency in regard to my EEOC employment-discrimination legal complaint against a former employer of mine, Souper Salad Inc. of San Antonio , Texas . That legal complaint of mine is EEOC Charge 36A-2009-00422.

I maintain that the dismissal notice issued by the San Antonio Field Office Director, Mr. Pedro Esquivel, was flagrantly unfair to myself for the following reasons:

(1) The San Antonio Field Office is situated in the headquarters city of Souper Salad Inc., the restaurant chain against which my EEOC complaint was in fact filed. I maintain that local prejudice in favor of the “hometown company,” as Souper Salad Inc. is known by many thousands of San Antonio-area residents, significantly undermined the ability of officials and employees of your San Antonio Field Office to reach a fair and impartial determination about my legal complaint.

(2) The investigator assigned to my complaint against Souper Salad Inc., Mr. John Ahlstrom, never on any occasion posed any question to myself. In addition, Mr. John Ahlstrom even left a phone message with me last year, at an early point in his investigation, in which he expressed surprise and mild shock that I myself would even make ANY follow-up phone call to him about that legal complaint from myself. It was obvious that Mr. Ahlstrom through his style of investigation allegedly sought to discourage me from sharing with him additional factual information about that case. It is also likely that this unhelpful style of his pointed to alleged possible prejudice against me by Mr. Ahlstrom that influenced the decision reached by his office.

In contrast to Mr. Ahlstrom, another EEOC investigator from that same office in San Antonio , Ms. Estella Slaughter, in a helpful manner on several occasions shared pertinent factual information with me on the telephone and cited to me specific factual information she needed in investigating my EEOC complaint against the Texas Department of Criminal Justice state agency (EEOC Charge 36A-2010-00018).

(3) Investigation and review of my EEOC complaint against Souper Salad Inc. was conducted in a heavily Roman Catholic and Christian city, San Antonio, where prejudice and antipathy by the residents of that city toward my own fully-independent and non-Christian, alcohol-free, anti-drug, tobacco-free, Progressive Prohibitionist Religion---a law-enforcement-minded religion advocating capital punishment for homicide as well as court-ordered capital punishment for attempted homicide, my religion also being very opposed to pranks and to fraudulent or dishonest communications and to anonymous communications or to medically injurious noise pollution----would be extensive and widespread. I hereby allege that one or more of the EEOC officials or staff members based in San Antonio who handled this complaint from myself, including your San Antonio Field Office Director, Mr. Pedro Esquivel, were significantly influenced by their own religion-related prejudice against me in San Antonio.

Thank you in advance, Dallas District Director Fetzer, for taking the time to review all the facts in this case, including my very diligent factual documentation from memory at my online website of many of the thousands of slanderous and profane anonymous communications inflicted on me throughout each of my working hours as a server or waiter for Souper Salad Inc. restaurants where I worked as a waiter in the Greater Austin area during the applicable time period October 2008 until the abrupt dismissal of me from my Souper Salad Inc. waitering job on June 25, 2009.

Many of the thousands of profane communications, death threats, and verbalized insults hurled at me related to my religious identity or religious beliefs, my perceived “sexual identity,” my perceived “sex life,” my perceived racial identity, my biological or perceived age, and my perceived "disability."

My very accurate quotations of anonymous-communications to which I was subjected against my wishes inside my workplace during each of my working hours as a waiter/server for Souper Salad restaurants, can be found toward the end of my personal online website blog that’s currently featured at http://www.johnkevinmcmillan.blogspot.com .

Dallas Director Fetzer, I look forward to receiving your final determination about this EEOC legal complaint of mine against Souper Salad Inc., after you diligently review this appeal from myself.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,

John Kevin McMillan, EEOC complainant against Souper Salad Inc.
