A Wisconsin woman lost her job after her employer discovered she was a shoplifter — 40 years ago.
Wells Fargo fired Yolanda Quesada last week after she had been employed at the bank for five years, according to WAVE 3 News.
The crime occurred back when she was fresh out of high school in 1972, the 58-year-old said.
"I just got the FBI report on Saturday in the mail,” Quesada told the Milwaukee Sentinel. “Monday, they said you're fired. They never let me say what happened, explain myself, nothing."
A spokesman for Wells Fargo explained that company policy forbids continuing the employment of anyone with a criminal record, the Sentinel reported.
Quesada, who worked in customer service at the bank, hopes she will be able to get her job back.
“I think I should get it back because it's something I did 40 years ago. I paid for it. I've changed my life,” she told WAVE 3 News.
