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.
That's when Walker says he turned his cellphone camera on.
"Barack had his red service vest on, and his certified service tags," Walker wrote. "I was sitting for 35 minutes prior with Barack beforehand. At this point I was grossly offended, embarrassed dehumanized and started recording."
The video shows Walker arguing with the manager about whether he has seen Walker's military information. The manager grabs his leftovers as Walker talks over him.
"You have a great day," the manager says before walking away with the to-go box.
"Yes, I did just provide documents for you, and they saw you," Walker replies.
