For his free meal on Veterans Day, Ernest Walker picked the Chili's
Grill and 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.
"The guest also said your dog is not a service dog," Walker says the manager told him.
