Yesterday in a Chinese Albuquerque restaurant, a man went viral for all the wrong reasons. In fact, his behavior was described as disgraceful and shocking by disgusted locals. So, what warranted such a strong reaction?

In the four minute video clip, the man ordered food but quickly decided he wanted a refund after noticing a small Buddha statue. This was based on the grounds of his religion, as he claimed he no longer wanted the food due to being a Christian.

Thankfully, multiple people in the restaurant saw through his sketchy behavior and called him out on it. One of the main heroes of the clip was a fellow Christian, who claimed his excuse was nonsense and got into an argument with him. However, it was a woman sitting down who ended his religious rant, claiming “Shut up sir, I have kids here just shut up” which made him quieten down. What’s worse is that this happened in front of his young child who was stood behind him for the entire confrontation.

Speaking on social media, locals wrote, “Being “Christian” should mean NOT BEING A BIGOT. Treat thy neighbor as you would be treated is a core tenant of the bible!” and “Thank god for the lady at the end telling that dude to just shut up. The true hero.”

After this incident, the eatery (Rose Garden Restaurant) received a lot of praise and support from the local Albuquerque community who universally stood against his divisive actions. Interestingly, the video ends before we ever got to know whether he did get his food or not.
