unfortunately, this is a case of 'allegedly' being a big part of the story,, and giving time to actually receive 'facts' or at least more of the 'truth' that may not be initially reported also is helpful

it appears there is no indication that the employee 'refused' any service to anyone but asked a manager for help who made a 'joke' about the employee taking issue with serving a cop

who knows the 'actual' truth here ,, huh? but it could be a case , like others are accused of, of being too 'sensitive' and seeing something that wasnt there....

we will see if the manager verifies the initially reported 'facts' ,,,,

as far as the different standard of being treated poorly and being KILLED,,,, they really arent in the same ball park,,,,

How does the comment supposedly being a joke make it any better? Betcha wouldnt feel quite the same way if the customer was black and was jokingly told "We dont serve *insert n-word here*"....joke or not.

Hmm...I would say Arby's thibks they have a pretty good handle on it....


"" The Arby's fast food chain announced late
Thursday that it had fired a Florida restaurant
manager and suspended a clerk""
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/04/florida-arby-fires-manager-suspends-clerk-who-refused-to-serve-police-officer/

Like so many ideologically motivated movements, there is a 'reasonable' branch and a 'whack job' branch of the movement. With 'black lives matter', the whack jobs have stolen the mic.

In Oakland, they are even protesting the shooting of armed aggressors!

the clerk was suspended for two days with PAY,, in my job thats called PTO and isnt a punishment for refusing to give service,,lol

because he apparently never did

except the manager did serve her and the clerk didnt refuse to serve but was waiting on customers during a busy period,,,

Actually the clerk didn't serve her and the manager said it was because she was a cop. Joke or not....I wouldn't have taken the food either. The manager (from my understanding) said it was a joke later on. I don't know if it was a joke (wasn't obvious to the cop it seems) or the manager was trying to cover butts because of what was said. I wouldn't have found it funny either especially with the crap cops are getting lately.

The reasons the clerk didn't serve her and why the manager says it was a joke...who really knows? It could have been as the manager says now or it could be the manager is back peddling

Honestly, that sounds to me like damage control after the fact... but maybe it is true.

true, could have lied and claimed it was only a joke to protect the kids job and lose his management job,,,

In the situations like this that pop up in the news, if a black is offended by something done by a white, the race difference is highlighted in the story. If the offended person is white and the offender is black, the races are seldom reported.

Political correctness at it's finest. Only black offenses matter.

It isnt about being served its about a comment that a manager made and was fired for.
Again, as i stated in an earlier post, if the customer wouldve been black and was told that the clerk doesrt serve black people because he doesnt like them, joke or not, you would be singing a much different tune.....and Al and Jesse would be marching their azzes off.
Gotta remember, that comment waa made after 4 LEOs have been killed in just a few days, social media is full of cop hating rhetoric, and incidences like this are happening:

Latonya B. James and Nanyamka N. James
A Madison police officer was
confronted by a crowd and punched after a
street fight on Prairie Road Wednesday night,
according to a release from Madison police.
The officer stopped in the area of Prairie Road
and Jacobs Way around 6:20 p.m. after
spotting a large number of people in the
street. He said that as he approached he saw
a woman punch a man in the face, and he
could see that the woman had a can of pepper
spray.
The officer said that as he went to arrest the
woman he was surrounded by a crowd that
was voicing anti-police sentiments, including
"We need to start killing these officers."
Police said the woman’s daughter was
grabbing the officer while trying to free her
mother. The officer said he tried to diffuse the
situation by explaining to the crowd that the
woman had just punched someone and was
armed with pepper spray. Police said his
words were ignored, and the struggle with the
two people continued.
The older woman punched the officer in the
face and grabbed him by the throat, according
to the release.
The officer said he could see many in the
crowd were recording the incident on their
cellphones while some accused him of
misconduct and using excessive force.
A witness told police he or she "felt the officer
was in trouble" and said it appeared someone
had gone for his gun.
The two women were arrested when more
officers arrived.
"He demonstrated fantastic patience and
restraint in dealing with these folks," Madison
Police Department Capt. Vic Wahl said. "He
was able to literally get assaulted in the midst
of a large crowd and still take these women
into custody without causing any injuries to
anyone."
Police said Latonya B. James, 40, of Madison,
threatened many times to kill the officer while
on her way to jail. She was arrested on
suspicion of battery to a law enforcement
officer, possession of pepper spray, disorderly
conduct and resisting.
Nanyamka N. James, 20, of Madison was
arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct,
resisting and on a parole hold.
Police said a nearby resident who was not
involved in the melee told a detective the
officer who was battered has, in the past,
done a great job reaching out to residents and
communicating with the neighborhood.

And dont think I didnt noticed this lil quip that you posted to try and change thread direction and further push your false narrative...



Like Ive mentioned before, youre not that sneaky

like ive mentioned before, I say things DIRECTLY in response to what is ALREADY stated in the thread,, tunnelvision aint pretty,,,lol

and I agree, the manager was out of line, whatever race he was(Though it wasn't mentioned,,,,)

but the kid being dragged in was over doing it since the kid didn't directly interact with this customer at all,,,

"" CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (WSVN) -- Two South
Florida police officers have been recognized
for their random act of kindness: Both of
them gave a free meal they received at
Arby's on Friday to a homeless man.
Rather than just enjoy the combo meals they
got free of charge from the fast food
restaurant as part of a one-day promotion,
Coral Spring Police Officers Jonathan
Greenleaf and Tyler Reik chose to pay it
forward, earning them praise from their
chief. "I just want to say thank you, guys,
very much, for everything you do on a
daily basis," said Coral Springs Police Chief
Tony Pustizzi as he shook Greenleaf's hand.
The good Samaritans in uniform chose
Robert, a homeless man in the area whom
they know well, because he is always is
respectful and nice to them and offers his
help. To them, this was a no-brainer.
"Arby's offered free meals for any police
officer, so we took that upon ourselves,
instead of letting us eat, to help the less
fortunate and to provide the meal that was
given to us to Robert," said Reik.
The officers figured Robert would appreciate
the gesture. "When we first approached
Robert, he actually was kind of caught off
guard," said Reik. "I mean, he was very
thankful. We obviously gave him a ride
down to Arby's in the patrol car and got
him out there, and ... whatever he wanted
from the menu, we went ahead and ordered
for him."
Robert's gratitude was visible in a
photograph that found its way to Facebook.
"He was grateful. Like Officer Reik said, he
was a little caught off guard," said
Greenleaf. "He was a little embarrassed by
the attention. He obviously wasn't looking
for attention or anything, just like we
weren't, but he was grateful. At the end of
the day, I gave him a ride back to where he
normally hangs out, and he gave me a
thumbs up and said, 'Anything I can do for
you guys, just let me know.'"
The act of kindness was not just a win for
the police department and Robert, but also
for Arby's. "I was very proud to discover
that the officers at this police department
were so genuine and giving this week," said
Pustizzi.
The fast food company made headlines
across the country after a drive-thru
employee at their Pembroke Pines location
reportedly wouldn't serve an officer. "They
had an unfortunate incident involving a
couple of their employees, and you don't
want to hold that against an entire
corporation for one small incident," said
Greenleaf.""

its always nice to be kind

not that it will make the news, but I have been known to give food that I actually had to pay for to someone that looked in need myself

kudos for human decency

If this had happened at a Krispy Kreme, then all hell would've broken loose.

you so wrong for that goof,,,,

I know. I forgot to add Dunkin Donuts in their as well.
