Remember, how you act and deal with a situation concerning CHL reflects on all CHL holders.
If you had not handled the situation as well as you did and been a jerk, I can see that manager telling everyone that "CHL holders are all a bunch of jerks".
I haven't been in a Hooter's in years. But, having the District Manager react in a positive way to CHL is fantastic. The initial incident
was caused by poor concealment. Work on your concealment techniques. Otherwise, from what I read, everything turned out for the better.
You sound like a nice guy. Welcome to the forum.
