The Chowder House in Alaska received a wave of attention after one of the employees received complaints for wearing a shirt that "isn't professional."

The garment in question is a black t-shirt that simply says: "Hi. Don't be racist. Thanks."

Offended by the shirt, a beleagured customer named Jason Lassiter took to The Chowder House's Facebook page to complain about the t-shirt, calling it part of a "social justice warrior campaign."

He wrote:

"Really enjoyed your food and service but this is a business and as a customer I'd prefer not to have your employees ideology's plastered on his t-shirt:

'Hi. Don't be racist. Have a nice day.'

This isn't a professional shirt for work and will be the last time I visit your establishment. I know my patronage alone won't effect you but good luck with your social justice warrior campaign."

The employee, Bryan, shared a screenshot of the Facebook review on his Twitter, and it quickly went viral.

Someone complained about me wearing my favorite shirt today on our Facebook page, now I can’t wear it at work anymore :.( pic.twitter.com/3Ssnl9hPDc

It wasn't long before the review got roasted on Facebook, and Bryan's bosses chimed in to let him know they have his back.

Update: he’s getting roasted on Facebook lol.

Talked to my bosses. They were upset at the customer for making an absurd complaint. I misunderstood the upset (we were in the middle of a rush) as being directed at me. They have no problem with me wearing the shirt and actually urge me to continue to if I wish to do so.

In fact, the negative review ended up spurring a flurry of positive reviews, and even inspired the managers to buy all of the staff "don't be racist" t-shirts.

Final update: So many people direct messaged the guy that he deleted his bad review. I will continue wearing my plethora of anti-racism/homophobia/colonization/etc shirts and we ended up getting a lot of positive reviews about how my bosses handled everything. Game, set, match.

I guess I said “final update” but there is more. My bosses are ordering a bunch of the shirts so that everyone in the restaurant can have one. Stay tuned for a group pic in a few weeks when they come in 😍😛

If anyone is still reading this thread: the shirt is cool but it is 100% from some fast fashion Etsy bullshit. I was browsing, saw it, and just bought it cause I liked it. Instead of trying to get the same shirt, get one from one of these links. https://t.co/Ccovx3qlMk https://t.co/xtyeZwKLgH

People on Twitter were quick to roast Lassiter for having an issue with a statement as benign as "don't be racist."

Haha crazy that racism is a controversial issue? You have an issue about not being racist? Interesting…

If he complained about a shirt asking people to not be racist, he deserves to be roasted and there’s a 100% chance the shirt offended him because he IS racist

Unnecessary greeting? Check! "Thanks" at the end of your one sentence request? Check! This shirt is more professional than some formal communications I've had. LOL.

At this point, Lassiter has likely muted his inbox and doubled down on his distate for The Chowder House. On the other hand, the restaurant is receiving a whole lot of love.

Man gets roasted after writing angry review because his server wore a ‘Don’t Be Racist’ t-shirt.
