Chilis Manager takes meal from black veteran on Veteran's Day

[Ozzy619]

This story makes me sick. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that nobody stood up for this veteran with a service dog. The manager involved should be black listed for life. Im very interested in what becomes of this story and what is to be done for Mr. Walker after such disrespect.

"U.S. Army veteran Ernest Walker started recording video when a manager at a Chili’s restaurant in Cedar Hill, Texas, questioned his military service and took away his food.

Like some other establishments, Chili’s offered free meals to veterans and active military service members on Veterans Day. Walker wrote on his Facebook page that he was eating at Chili’s with his service dog, when an elderly customer wearing a Trump shirt came up to him. “He said he was in Germany, and that they did not let Blacks serve over there,” Walker wrote.

Soon after, Walker said the restaurant’s manager approached him and said that a fellow customer said Walker was “not a real soldier because [he] had [his] hat on indoors.” He asked to see identification, and continued to question Walker. Eventually, he took his food away, even though Walker showed him his military ID and discharge paperwork."

I gotta find the link, but they ended up firing the manager. Still waiting to see if they find a way to make it up to the guy. Free meals for life?

At least that. They were wrong on three different levels; racism, disrespecting the soldiers valor and disregarding his service dog.
