“Everybody Has Their Opinions”
During a question and answer session with CBS, “Everybody has their opinions, everybody is entitled to their opinions,” said Whitney, who is the co-owner of Fat Joe’s. Whitney continued to say that her management group had come to a decision with regards to letting Brittany go home but they didn’t actually fire her.

Several members of staff from the diner decided to show the Wallenders screen captures of the thread Brittney had posted about the incident on Facebook before the team meeting that Sunday morning. While Fat Joe’s was not directly mentioned in the thread, Tad Wallender said Brittany’s Facebook account listed Fat Joe’s as her workplace. Taking this into account, people were able to directly make the link between the post and the restaurant.
