McDonald's manager allegedly refuses to serve veteran

A veteran claims he was "discriminated against" after being kicked out of a McDonald's due to an argument over his knife blade necklace. Jonathan Nagel was at one of the burger chain's locations in Everett, Wash., last Friday, wearing a 4-inch, talon-shaped blade around his neck. Under Washington law, residents are allowed to open-carry large knives in public as long as they are visible. Nagel said the restaurant's manager asked him to put his blade away before ordering. Nagel refused, saying he was legally required to keep his blade out in order to comply with state law. He claims he was then asked to leave before finishing his order. "[The manager] said, 'No, I don't want your service, you can leave,'" Nagel said. "Just that plain and simple". the veteran was frustrated by the ordeal and said he plans to seek an attorney for further advice. McDonald's, for its part, has stood by the decision to make Nagel leave
