If there’s one thing that I hate it’s when Mexican food is used to transmit hatred against police officers. Also when Taco Bell makes crappy Mexican food, but that’s besides the point. Anyway some idiot at a Taco Bell wrote “pig” on the wrappers of a cop’s burritos, and now that idiot is unemployed.
The picture surfaced on a Facebook post that quickly went viral:
And these people want $15 an hour?!
Taco Bell has fired an employee that left an insensitive remark on an order of an officer and his fiancé. The company apologizes for the worker’s behavior and says they’re moving forward to correct the situation.
Jeff Graves, senior director of operations for Taco Bell, said the worker was let go from the job. The worker wrote “PIG” on to-go orders for the couple Saturday night in Newton.
“We do not share the same belief or view as the employee whatsoever,” Graves said. “Our company, Taco Bell, has always been pro-law enforcement, military. We’ve always supported the police in our community. Many of our restaurants give police discounts when they come in and eat.”
Graves said he reached out to the officer and the officer’s fiancé once he learned of the situation.
“We’ve of course apologized to him, all the Newton Police officers and, in fact, everyone in the community,” Graves said. “In fact, I’ve even met with the lieutenant with the Newton Police Department this morning, and we’re even going to plan a community event working with the Newton Police officers within the next week just to show our support for the officers and the community.”
Great job, idiot! Enjoy the unemployment line!!
