Power went into the store Monday and issued a written warning citation because she said military flags flying on the roof were in violation of city code. An employee told First Coast News that the mayor's office dropped the citations and the business is allowed to continue flying the flags. The rooftop display also includes two United States flags and a Jacksonville Jaguars flag.

"We cater to our men and women, both retired and active military, so it was personal".

"I am so amazed at the amount of support.", said Marcy, another manager.

The verbal altercation happened after the warning upset the customer. That customer is a military veteran who thought it was wrong to force store managers to take down the military flags.

That touched off a tense exchange involving the city inspector and the customer.

"She turned around at the door and said to me, in a very loud voice that, what I did for this country did not matter", he told FOX 30.

She said after that, tempers flared, and she admitted: "I should never have been unprofessional and disrespectful period". Watch the video here.
