NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - Aretha Franklin has some harsh words for a server who showed D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T by telling the Queen of Soul she wasn't allowed to eat her takeout inside the restaurant.
A spokesman for Franklin says the situation unfolded Tuesday at a Johnny Rockets restaurant on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
The spokesman says Franklin ordered a hamburger after performing a sold-out show. But he says the server screamed at Franklin, saying she couldn't sit down to eat because she had ordered takeout.
Franklin says in a statement that the restaurant worker was "very rude, unprofessional and nasty."
A Johnny Rockets spokeswoman says the franchise owner is sorry for the actions of "a new and very young employee."
She says the owner has spoken with the employee and has clarified his takeout policies.

Anyhow, I wasn't allowed in the restaurant either... More

Ever noticed that anything that goes wrong at a restaurant or other service establishment has always been the fault of that mysterious new staff member? Maybe the training programs need beefing up :P

Johnny Rockets is one of 5 or 6 restaurants in a courtyard type area of the mall. Johnny has it's own seating area, and there are tables in the center of the courtyard area for takeout food to be eaten. I do not condone what the employee did. He simply had to indicate to her that the eating area... More

I don't think the employee is the cause. I think the owner push his employee to do so and after hide behind them.
