A South Setauket woman is suing Walmart, claiming age discrimination was a factor when she was fired from her job there, according to a report published Monday in New York Post.
Anne Squatrito, a 73-year-old grandmother and a heart attack survivor, was asked to move 200 loads of merchandise by herself, according to the report. She was fired from Walmart two weeks before Christmas in 2011.
