This article details the story of a Sherbrooke, Quebec cashier who protested against her employer’s requirement to ask customers at the check-out whether they would like to purchase lottery tickets.

In part due to Ms. Marclay’s protest, Super C stores ultimately changed its lottery-solicitation policy.
