Free meal taken away from veteran
In the Facebook post, the Army veteran wrote that the trouble began when another diner questioned the uniform Walker was wearing and his service dog.
But even after Walker showed his military ID and discharge papers, the manager snatched his to-go box.
Today, we personally apologized to Mr. Walker for the unfortunate experience in our restaurant on Veterans Day and thanked him for his service to our country. We also thanked him for taking the time to speak with us and he appreciated our apology. We took swift action and immediately removed our manager from the restaurant. We are now in the process of working with Mr. Walker on a resolution that promotes trust and healing.
