"We are deeply disappointed and outraged by the situation that took place at our independently-owned franchise restaurant in Federal Way, Washington," Denny's officials wrote. "Denny's has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind. This type of behavior is unacceptable for any reason and is clearly inconsistent with our practices and policies. After a swift investigation, the employees involved in this incident are no longer employed by our franchisee and no longer a part of the Denny's system."
