Burger King refuses to serve uniformed officers, Louisiana police department claims

And much like the 8 year old selling water without a permit this story makes nation news based on biased media. This time Fox News and The Blaze.

Good luck Burger King.

The employees who did this would probably give people dressed like thugs the royal treatment right before they get robbed.

Am I correct?

I can't help thinking that these employees did the police a favour by not serving them, as can you imagine what they could have done to the food.

In the UK the police tend to rely more on subsidised police canteens and agreements with major businesses such as Dewpartment Stores who let them use their subsidised staff canteens, whilst local businesses often give the police discount if they are near to a police station as the police are good customers.

If I were a police officer and had to buy something from an unkown business it would most likely be pre-packaged.

The Police in the UK somtimes use motorway service stations such as moto, welcome break, roadchef at night, but they generaly have large food courts with lots of choice.

Obviously not a case of white Burger King employees and black cops, otherwise there would be nonstop coverage of this on CNN and MSNBC for the next several days. The comparison to the southern lunch counters of the 50’s is too blatant to miss.

Ive said this before and Ill say it again, keep politics out of business,unless a customer is bothering people/drunk/whatever,just serve them, their money is just as green as everybody elses.
