"Fridays is focused on delivering a great Guest experience.The incident in the Centerville restaurant was unfortunate but has since been resolved. We are constantly working to train our employees to be the best in the industry in and out of the restaurant."

The incident in question took place at a Centerville restaurant where a customer left her server a note instead of a monetary tip. The note insinuated that the waitress had been flirting with the customer's husband. In her Facebook post, the waitress ranted about the note.
