A restaurant worker at Johnny Rockets in Canada yells at Aretha Franklin and causes an international incident…
According to reports the Queen of Soul had just finished a performance in Niagara Falls, Ontario when she stopped at her favorite burger joint, Johnny Rockets, to order take-out.
After placing her order Aretha Franklin sat at one of the many empty tables and that's when things went left.
A restaurant worker approached Ms. Franklin and told her tables were only for customers who were dining in.
Aretha Franklin shrugged it off and said, 'Fine, I'll dine in,' that's when she was told that was not possible because she'd already been rang up as a carry out.
The NY Daily News reports that's when Ms. Franklin walked out in a huff telling the server,
‘You should eat it yourself and you pay for it.' ”A spokesperson for Johnny Rockets has publicly apologized for the actions of “a new and very young employee” and promised a review of its take-out order policy.
