The Statement
Because of the viral nature of the story, the restaurant was forced to put out a statement about the incident. They backed up Karl’s allegations, and even shared his side of the story to clear the air. As it turned out, upper management had been mortified by the treatment he received, saying that this shouldn’t have happened to anyone, even if they were just a regular civilian looking to buy a meal. Was there more that they could do to apologize to him?

Alleging Discrimination
Social media users were very vocal about Karl’s incident, with many people mentioning that he had the right to sue the chain for discrimination. One person even commented that being refused service was the same as an LGBT couple being refused a wedding cake from a bakery. Other people were less radical in their responses, opting away from the idea that he should sue them, rather focusing on the fact that he was teaching so many people a lesson about treating others with respect already.
