While many have been insinuating that Nick Haramis is nothing more than a burger-eating boy who cried wolf, Grub Street reports that following an internal investigation the owner has decided to suspend the alleged gay-bashing employee even though he questions Haramis's claims.
In a response to all of the internet feedback, Haramis wrote a follow-up piece, admitting that he and his friends were "probably assholes," but nothing really justifies being thrown to the ground and called a "faggot." One supposed witness even points out that there is a "waiter/busboy who is not one to be messed with," and that he did indeed do what Haramis accused him of—however, when he returned to the restaurant an hour later he was "screaming at the bartender" and threw a salt shaker at him.
Fighting violence with violence is no solution, kids! Grown-up, and owner of Corner Bistro, William O’Donnell has also told Grub Street that he "may fire [the employee] pending a polling of Friday-night regulars. However, he stresses, 'when the dust settles we’ll see these claims are simply untrue.'" Allegedly, according to some accounts they gathered from that night, Haramis's party was belligerent and "the waiter claims to have been struck first."
