Restaurant contaminated her drink with bacon, Muslim woman says

GARLAND, TEXAS — Nicole Queen never wanted the attention; only to make a simple statement on how she felt she was being treated.

A converted Muslim, she said it was supposed to be a casual lunch with a friend at TGI Friday's at the Firewheel Town Center in Garland. She said her lunch date started with a very cold reception from the server.

“It was kind of like being taken care of behind bars,” Queen said.

She said the server was put off by a request to remove bacon from her Cobb salad because it is forbidden for Muslims to eat pork.

It's still lousy how so idiotic people have to be towards other people they don't even know, thanks to bad education. I've been seeing plenty of that on a site called Not Always Working (a companion site to Not Always Right.) Lots of stupid and proudly bigoted people out there.

(I stopped going to TGIF not long after they got that spiky-haired "celebrity" chef, and then they dumped all of their non-salad vegetarian choices. I won't be going back.)
