Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner when, he says, employees told the couple not to kiss inside, and the argument escalated outside.
A gay man accused a group of Washington, D.C., Shake Shack employees of beating him after he kissed his boyfriend inside the location while waiting for their order.
Christian Dingus, 28, was with his partner and a group of friends at a Dupont Circle location Saturday night when the incident occurred, he told NBC News. They had put in their order and were hanging around waiting for their food.
“And while we were back there — kind of briefly — we began to kiss,” Dingus said. “And at that point, a worker came out to us and said that, you know, you can’t be doing that here, can’t do that type of stuff here.”
The couple separated, Dingus said, but his partner got upset at the employee and insisted the men had done nothing wrong. Dingus’ partner was then allegedly escorted out of the restaurant, where a heated verbal argument occurred.
You’re right. I thought they removed the one where I just said “Christ”. That’s my bad. Even better, they removed the one were I called someone a wierd o. You’re right, how edgy. Strike it from the record! Too combative! I’ve definitely not been called worse by you and your other dudes brigading my comments a dozen times already.
My others were removed for telling you to gfy, for using all caps out of frustration and saying ffs, and calling you a d**k. Oh the humanity.
