Uniformed Police Officer Refused Service at Texas Wendy's
Wendy's handled the situation well after being informed of it on Twitter, but you have to wonder what asshole is running this particular store. Bravo to the Fort Worth Police Department for everything that they do, and bravo to Wendy's for showing your support.
A Texas cop says he was refused service at a Wendy's restaurant because he was in uniform.
The Fort Worth Police Department patrol supervisor said he entered the location at Trail Lake Drive at about 6 p.m., at which point he said the employees turned their backs and walked away, according to police spokesman Sgt. Marc Povero.
According to Povero, the officer was the only customer in the place and the employees stayed in the kitchen until he left.
The Fort Worth Police Department chose to respond with their official Twitter account.
"@Wendys at Trail Lake and I20 would not serve one of our uniformed officers tonight? #whatsthebeef" the account posted Thursday night.
Wendy's subsequently took to the social media platform, as well.
"@fortworthpd We are aware the incident and are abruptly handling the situation. Could you please DM us, so we can gather more info," the post read.
By Friday afternoon, it appeared Wendy's and the Fort Worth Police Department had mended any potentially damaged fences.
"Thank you to @Wendys for meeting w/us today & confirming your support for law enforcement We appreciate it. #wendysbackstheblue," the police department tweeted.
This is not the first such incident reported in recent months. Police nationwide have claimed to have been refused service because of their job at other national food chains.
