Popeyes had to fire an employee after spitting on a police officer’s food in San Antonio, Texas:
DC EXAMINER – A Texas Popeyes employee was fired for reportedly spitting on an officer’s meal before serving it.
“I’m sure that same officer would be there to protect and serve that establishment if it came to it,” a San Antonio police spokesperson said in response to the incident. “We’re just going to go ahead and investigate it like we investigate every case, and hopefully, we come to some kind of peaceful resolution.”
The unidentified officer ordered a meal at the Popeye’s drive-thru last Wednesday evening and reportedly heard an employee shout “ACAB” while he waited in line. “ACAB” typically stands for “all cops are bastards.”
The officer then received his order and left the drive-thru. That’s when he found what appeared to be spit on his food, as well as “ACAB” written on his box of food.
Popeyes has confirmed that the employee has been fired over the incident.
“We want to apologize to the guest involved. The actions of the team member do not reflect the values of our brand nor the high level of service we strive to deliver to our guests. The team member no longer works at the restaurant, and the owner has reached out to the officer to personally apologize,” a Popeyes statement said.
What a disgusting attack on a police officer. This is the kind of anti-cop sentiment that the media helps foment.
According to the original article on MySA, this former employee spit on top of the officer’s food and it was evident. So the officer discarded the food before eating anything and had an investigator come and photograph the ‘ACAB’ written on top of the box.
I hope the San Antonio Police file charges against the employee and hold him/her accountable.
