Yea, because plenty of people use being a veteran as an excuse to grab a free meal?
Hopefully this manager loses his job as well, since he likes allowing customers to put a battery in his back.
According to an NBC Dallas affiliate — Chili’s Bar & Grill restaurant is apologizing after a manager took away a meal from a U.S. Army veteran.
U.S. Army veteran Ernest Walker, 47, of Cedar Hill, said he was served the meal as part of a “free meal to Veterans” promotion on Friday, Veterans Day. He had finished his food and was preparing to leave the restaurant when the trouble began. Walker was accompanied by his service dog named “Barack.”
That’s when an ederly Trump supporter — who probably can barely see at this point — told the restaurant manager that Walker was not a U.S. veteran and should not receive the free meal because he was wearing his cap indoors.
In a shocking move, caught on camera, the manager believed the Trump supporter, before embarrassing and berating Walker in front of people, even after the Vet provided all the neccessary information.
In an encounter captured on video by Walker and posted to Facebook, the manager asked for Walker’s military ID, which he provided. Walker also provided his discharge paperwork.
“I looked around and I’m embarrassed at this point,” Walker said. “People are looking. I’m a soldier. I’m a person and everybody’s looking like I stole food.”
The manager also indicated the service dog was not a service dog despite having a red service vest and certified service tags.
Chili’s released this statement, but as of now, that manager has yet to be disciplined.
“We are aware of the situation that occurred at our Chili’s Cedar Hill restaurant on November 11th. Our goal is to make every guest feel special and unfortunately we fell short on a day where we serve more than 180,000 free meals as a small token to honor our Veterans and active military for their service, hence these actions do not reflect the beliefs of our brand. We are taking this very seriously and the leaders in our company are actively involved with the goal of making it right. Since the incident occurred, we have extended an apology and we are reaching out to the guest.”
