"  We&amp;#039;ve all experienced bad service at a restaurant, but Nicole Queen&amp;#039;s visit to a Garland, Texas, TGI Friday&amp;#039;s went from just bad service to an affront to her religion. According to ABC News, a TGI Friday&amp;#039;s waiter allegedly tricked Queen, who is Muslim, into consuming bacon by putting it inside her beverage straw. Queen had originally asked her waiter to hold the bacon in her Cobb salad because her religion forbids eating pork. She assumed that the waiter was uncomfortable with her request and she said the table was not treated well the entire meal. At the end of the lunch another waiter asked if Queen wanted an iced tea refill to-go. She accepted, thinking it was a nice gesture to make up for the previously bad service, but upon taking a sip of the beverage she discovered that bacon had been packed into the straw. Queen is a converted Muslim and says she knows what bacon tastes like because she consumed it before converting. When confronted, the outpost manager reportedly denied the incident, but TGI Friday&amp;#039;s headquarters released an official statement to the public and is looking into the situation: &amp;quot;We take this matter very seriously, as it would represent a gross violation of our values and the promise we make to each of our guests. We have been in contact with the guest, and we are working with her to investigate. We will take any appropriate actions necessary based on the findings,&amp;quot; the company stated. TGI Friday&amp;#039;s also posted the following message on its Facebook page: &amp;quot;We want everyone to have a great time at Fridays \u2014 we don&amp;#039;t tolerate discrimination in any form. We launched an investigation around what happened yesterday and will take appropriate actions and update as more information is available.&amp;quot; Find more great food content on Delish:   Search for the perfect recipe from our homepage Find out the latest food news Get a recipe book to save your favorite dishes Sign up for our free newsletters Check us out on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
