The manager should be fired immediately if he hasn't been.A Chili's Grill & Bar in Texas came under fire over the weekend after its manager questioned a veteran's military service and took away his free meal.
Ernest Walker, a U.S. veteran who served in the Army's 25th Infantry Division from 1987 to 1991, took part in Chili's free meal for veterans promotion on Friday with his service dog Barack.
Walker, who is black, wrote on his Facebook page that he was wearing his old Army uniform when he was approached by an elderly white man wearing a Donald Trump shirt.
The man told Walker that he fought in Germany and that black men were not allowed to serve at that time. He then went to the back of the restaurant and told the manager that he did not believe that Walker was a veteran and that Barack was not a service dog.
