It was the restaurant, texting Megan that she hadn't gotten the job. When she asked why, Miller and Carter replied with an emoji. She shared the exchange on Twitter, taking it all in good humor, but it garnered a lot of attention on social media afterwards (and an apology).

Many announced that they would begin boycotting the restaurant in defense of Dixon.
