A Saint John parking commissionaire has been fired for comments he allegedly made to a Syrian business owner while issuing a ticket.
Yamama Alabdin and her husband recently opened a new Syrian restaurant on Germain Street called Mashawi Zein.
On Monday morning, Alabdin had parked in a loading zone — like she does several times a week — to drop off supplies at the restaurant.
Zein Alabdin, her husband, said their son came into the restaurant a few minutes later to let his mother know the car was being ticketed.
