A former Pizza Hut manager in Elkhart, Ind., alleges he was fired for refusing to open the store on Thanksgiving Day.

According to WHAS 11, based out of Louisville, Ky., Tony Rohr claims he was told it was mandatory to open on Thursday and, when he refused, he was let go. Rohr's bosses, however, counter-allege that he quit and was not fired.
