    “Hell no, I’m not serving them!” Florida officers refused service at Tropical Smoothie Café

    Lake Alfred Police Officer Adam Leatherberry and another officer went to get food Sunday at Tropical Smoothie Café in downtown Winter Haven, Florida.

    One of the staff members, later identified as Jake Hadden, looked at them and said, “hell no!” and then told another worker that “I’m not serving them, you can… it’s the cops! I refuse to serve them,” according Leatherberry

    The cops did not want to take any chances and left. Leatherberry says he wanted to avoid any ‘extra sauces’ in his food.
    A spokeswoman with the Lake Alfred Police Dept called Hadden a “bone head.”

    WFLA has received a lot of messages on social media about the story, in support of the officers. The management at Tropical Smoothie took very swift action and fired Hadden immediately.

    “This is not who we are we do not operate like that… to all the law enforcement officers, please feel free to come to our store,” manager Beth Lawrence said.

    Hadden told the local station he regrets what he said, especially with everything going on around the country with law enforcement right now.

    Police: Miss. deli workers refused to serve cop
    Two deli workers turned their backs on the officer

    Nov 22, 2016

    By PoliceOne Staff

    MOSS POINT, Miss. — Police said two employees at a local grocery store refused to serve an officer Sunday.

    Sgt. Doug Adams and the manager of the Piggly Wiggly reviewed footage that shows the workers acknowledging Officer Scott Clayton, but refusing to serve him, the Sun Herald reported.

    “One worker walked to the back of the deli and it appears he asks the two at the counter if they could help him, but they did not,” Adams said.

    According to WXXV, Clayton’s finance wrote in a Facebook post that the employees turned their backs and said, “I’m not serving him.”

    Manager Barry Carmack told the publication they’re investigating why the employees refused service, but they could lose their jobs.

    “It’s not something we tolerate,” Carmack said. “We will do everything we can to rectify this.”

    TOPEKA, Kan. — A McDonald’s employee has been fired after two officers found mustard mixed in their drinks.

    A social media post showed a picture of the officer’s drink mixed with mustard, WIBW reported. After the post went viral, Kansas Highway Patrol said a trooper found mustard in his drink as well. They told management when it happened.

    “All customers, including local law enforcement officers who protect and serve our communities, are always welcome at our restaurants,” franchise owner Tom Dobski said. “We proudly support police officers and all divisions of first responders at our restaurants across northeast Kansas.”

    The unnamed employee “no longer works for the organization.”

    Texas cop receives hateful message on restaurant receipt
    The restaurant brought sandwiches to the local PD to make up for the incident

    Dec 22, 2016

    By PoliceOne Staff

    SEGUIN, Texas — A uniformed officer who stopped to grab lunch at a local Schlotzsky’s recently was surprised when he saw a special message on his receipt.

    The deputy pulled through the drive-thru and looked down at his receipt to see the message “Fck U,” according to the department’s Facebook page.

    The officer called the restaurant to report the incident, and the employee has since been fired, KHOU reported.

    Schlotzsky’s posted on their Facebook page that law enforcement is always welcome in the restaurant and the incident was a one-time occurrence.

    “We have also personally reached out to the Sheriff's office to apologize, and remind them that they are always welcome at this location, where we proudly offer officers in uniform a special discount in appreciation for their service,” the post reads.

    Sheriff Arnold Zwicke told the news station that the manager had informed him that a young employee was goofing off and didn’t intend for the message to be printed on the receipt.

    The restaurant brought sandwiches to the department Wednesday afternoon to make up for the incident.

    Armed Wash. officers turned away from Cheesecake Factory
    They were told guns weren’t allowed, regardless of if they were law enforcement

    Dec 22, 2016

    By PoliceOne Staff

    TACOMA, Wash. — A policy miscommunication led to the barring of six state DOC officers from a local Cheesecake Factory.

    DOC employee Miriam Nichols posted on the restaurant’s Facebook Tuesday that she and five other employees walked in wearing their uniforms, badge, and guns.

    “We were told the guns are not allowed,” she wrote. “Whether you are law enforcement or not, they are not welcome.”

    According to The News Tribune, the manager on duty misunderstood the restaurant policy on law enforcement having service weapons in the restaurant.

    The next day, Cheesecake Factory officials reached out and apologized.

    “It was a misunderstanding, and they’re rectifying that situation,” DOC spokesman Jeremy Barclay said. “They actually support law enforcement officers being in their restaurant and having their service weapons on them.”
