Chili's removes Cedar Hill manager who took away man's free Veterans Day meal | Restaurants | Dallas News
I can not believe there are people stupid enough to believe "blacks aren't allowed to serve in Germany", let alone there is someone out there who would try and make that case.
Taken on face value, this story is OUTRAGEOUS.
However I don't take anything I read online at face value.
"Old white guy with a Trump shirt" started this? By saying blacks aren't allowed to serve in Germany?
I'm not convinced all of the facts are out, but on face value this manager should have had more tact and let the man leave with the To-Go box.
For his free meal on Veterans Day, Ernest Walker picked the Chili's Grill & Bar in Cedar Hill. The 47-year-old sat at a table and ordered a burger while his service dog, Barack, waited by his side.
Chili's is apologizing for what happened next.
As Walker tells it, an elderly white man wearing a Donald Trump shirt approached him and said that he was in Germany and that blacks weren't allowed to serve there. Walker, who is black, says he was wearing his old Army uniform.
The man walked to the back of the restaurant, Walker says, and a waitress came to pack his leftovers. Then a manager showed up.
In a widely shared Facebook post, Walker wrote that the manager claimed another guest said Walker was not "a real soldier" because he was wearing his hat indoors. Walker said he provided a military ID at the manager's request, along with his discharge papers.
