daily news-It was supposed to be a promotion to honor military service, but now a restaurant is under fire after a local veteran said he was humiliated.
Angry protestors gathered outside the restaurant was hardly what the Cedar Hill Chiliâs expected after offering complimentary meals to veterans in honor of Veterans Day Friday.
Supporters of U.S. Army veteran Ernest Walker expressed outrage after watching a video he posted on YouTube of a manager taking back his meal.
âThis overzealous manager comes out, and instead of talking to me man-to-man, he treated me as if I was a black man stealing a meal. Honestly, thatâs what it looked like,â Walker said.
Earlier he was seated at a table with his service dog when Walker says an elderly customer approached him and asked about his service.
ââThey didnât let you blacks over in World War II,â Thatâs exactly what he said to me, but this guy is 70-some years old,â Walker recalled.
The man left and walked toward the back of the restaurant. Soon, a manager came to Walkerâs table.
âAnd he said, âSir, we have guests that say that you are not a military veteran.â I said, âexcuse me?â Walker said
Thatâs when Walker said he showed the manager his military identification and his discharge papers he brought specificall y in case someone asked for proof of his service.
âHe should have said, âthank you for your service; Iâm sorry, and I go.â Instead of him saying that, he says to me, âwell he says your service dog is not real.â
Walker said he showed his dogâs certification and began shooting the video on his cell phone as he and the manager argued.
âThat manager needs to be either reprimanded or fired,â Walker said.
