"What is your name, sir?"
"My name is Lily,"
"You don't get to correct me!"
"He became very angry and said, 'I'm not a young man,' the customer told the owner, very offended by what had transpired. 'I said, 'Sir, I call you what I see,' and he said, 'In that case, thank you, sir,' and shut the window.'"
A video filmed from a customer's point of view captures a confrontation at a Kansas Burger King in which a customer demands an employee's name. The employee, wearing a trans flag pin, identifies as Lily and explains she corrected the customer's earlier use of 'young man.' The customer continues to misgender Lily and insists on addressing the worker as she sees fit, citing First Amendment protections and a missing order item. The owner intervenes, disputes the customer's claims, affirms Lily's identity, and ejects the customer from the restaurant.
