They are the exact people the police harass and put into the system.

Only when they commit a crime.

I'm not the biggest fan of law enforcement but if I were the business owner I'd allow them to go right to the front. Same with those in the city road and repair crew. Get them in and out and back at their work that I'm paying for.

I believe he meant to say "what does them BEING police.....".

At least it seems to make more sense that way. Actually, them being police has pretty much everything to do with it. The starbucks server was ignoring them because they were policemen.

That’s funny, but they won’t since they’re true professionals... And often the bigger person in those types of situations.

Living in the Seattle metro area, I deal with Leftists all the time and often they will come up with some BS that cops are not needed. A family member once said that and I said I’m good with that since I’m 6ft tall, 250lbs, retired U.S. Army Paratrooper/Combat Vet and always well armed... Which shocked them until I asked them who are they going to call when they need protection and/or a victim of a violent crime. She quickly got off her soap box and went to “orange man bad” BS since the reality of the need of law enforcement was important to her own self preservation.

Liberals are funny since they’re the first ones to complain about cops, but when they find themselves in a world of hurt, they’re quick in calling 911 for a cop instead of handling their own business. Though my non-scientific observations, most Leftists/Liberals lack even the most basic fighting skills to defend themselves in order to fend off a violent attack... And basically the ones that need the cops the most to get them out of a jam that their mouths got them into.

If I were a cop, I would be afraid to eat at any fast food place, especially if I wore my uniform. These places do not exactly hire executive level employees, and I bet a lot of them have bad feelings about the police. Too easy for someone cooking the food to slip something foreign into your Big Mac, getting even with you for something law enforcement may have done to him/her in the past.

At $8.00 an hour, we are not getting Rhodes Scholars here.

Can you people hear yourselves? For Gods sake, two cops get bad service and its the end of civilization. By the way, you should decide whether the poor service offenders are over educated “woke” leftists, probably antifa , or uneducated thugs. It helps your story go down better.

Some people say that “college grads with useless degrees are working at Starbucks”, but that is not what I have seen. Not in this great job market. Not in the NYC area. I have been to a lot of Starbucks locations, and the people working at them, seem like the same types of people that work in any other fast food restaurant to me. They are working in a different business model, so that might give them the appearance of being different to some, but they are not.

And I never called them “thugs” but the reality is that they ARE at those jobs because they are not qualified for anything else. If they were qualified, in the best job market in 50 years, why would they be working in a no skill job that pays the lowest amount that can legally be paid? I stick by my post that they are uneducated, poor, and leftist.
