What if — he just didn’t have his wallet? I don’t understand why the owner had to make such a huge deal about it, if, as she said, usually the policemen are so nice. Then this one’s aberrant. Let it GO. She even could have given it to him for free, while mentioning that they were not usually included in the ‘free’ offer.
We’re talking about a DOLLAR.
As a previous poster pointed out, if he didn’t have his wallet, did he have his driver’s license? If not, he shouldn’t have been driving.
The donut shop was in a town different than the one he worked; they were nice enough to give the cop a coffee-they don’t even have to do that. What entitles the cop to free anything, even if the bagel was $1.30?
It’s a DOLLAR.
Let it go?????
Have you ever run a business? How much stuff should be "free"? Why should anything be free? Do you think the product or service has no value?
I taught my kids the value of a dollar, one at a time! They are all under 40, own houses, and have low debt. Hmmmm....
