That’s why i mostly go to Subway’s. Hard for the counter guys to spit in the food when the customer is in front of them but when I worked for McD’s back in HS, it really did happen. It’s not a myth.

If the fifth-column leftist media doesn't state it in the article, it's been stated de facto.

The employee needs to be fired, and if the manager went along with, needs to be fired also. They should give free food for a day to any police officer.

If Arby’s really means it, they would revoke the franchise.

A tad harsh for the what appear to be the actions of a single idiot employee. Appropriate action would be apologize, they did, and terminate the employee, which the didn't say. I didn't see evidence that the Franchisee had any sort of ongoing incidents.

From the article -

“In a statement, Pembroke Pines Police Department Chief Dan Giustino said he was “offended” and “appalled” at the incident, and that the department would be contacting the Arby’s CEO to demand an apology.

Giustino went on to say that the incident appears to be confined to a single individual employee, and is not in keeping with the support the department regularly receives from the Pembroke Pines community.”

The PD says it was one employee, and it seems Arby’s has pulled out the big guns to apologize. Does anyone seriously think it’s Arby’s policy to refuse service to police officers?

I swear, these things get posted, no one reads the article, they immediately start posting non-sense opinions without thinking.

Or they think about it as much as a black lab, when you wave a tennis ball in front of them and throw it in the lake. Woof! Woof! Splash!

Let me guess. Is the employee a likely supporter of the “black lives matter” crowd?

There is a double standard. In this case, there was an “apology” and nothing else.
If it had been a highly privileged member of a government-certified victim group, the manager and employee would have been fired, and the restaurant sued for millions of dollars.
Plus the phoney reverends would be out there picketing.

You can just feel the escalation of anarchy and racial tensions thanks to Obama, Sharpton, Farrakhan and their supporters in the Left.

This is going to get out of hand real fast.

Which is exactly what the Marxist/Muslim in chief and Valjar want so that they can impose martial law and suspend what is left of American rights as they impose the dictatorship they have been seeking for decades. Study history of 1920's-1930's Germany or Italy or Japan for that matter and you will think you are looking at a re-run.

IF the manager did back the employee and refuse service, then the actions should be harsher. A manager speaks for the owner.

In practicality, the manager speaks for himself, I did, though I ran the operation as if it was my own which was in tune with the owner. However I did have managers who thought they were little gods of the kingdom when on their own, they didn’t last long because you can’t hide being an ass for long. The franchise owner will pay for the lack of judgment of whoever hired those employees.

According to Facebook (take that as you will), the manager backed up the employee in the refusal of service.

If that's the case, then the counter help, AND the manager, should be gone - and that location's franchise revoked.

If not, that translates as Arby's Corporate supports the local franchise's decisions.

If true, employee and manager need to be sent to the house. If not, if I were an officer I wouldn’t break my neck responding to a call from this location anytime soon, tell them to call black lives matter for assistance the next time there is trouble.
