TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Whataburger Restaurants LLC has agreed to pay $180,000 to settle a harassment and constructive discharge lawsuit after the general manager of a Florida store allegedly told her hiring manager to “hire white, and not black, applicants for employment," according to a news release.

In order to stay true to these values, Whataburger remains committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants.
