Aretha Franklin was denied to sit down and eat her take-out in the restaurant recently by a server.

The confrontation occurred at a Johnny Rockets franchise on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, where a fast-food employee shouted at Queen of Soul without even realizing that it was her, Sky News reported.

The 72-year-old singer said in a statement that the restaurant server was very rude, unprofessional and nasty.

A Johnny Rockets spokeswoman said the chain wished to apologize for the actions of a new and very young employee and the franchise owner had clarified its takeout policies with the staff member.
