When I was waitressing, we always made LEOs, EMS, firefighters etc priority customers, if they were in uniform. Very seldom would other diners make any mention of it. Just made sense. I never offered freebies to the guys, any more than I did for other diners—ie, food discount if they’re order was somehow prepared wrong, that kind of thing. Smae as I’d do for any diner.

Makes sense as they could get a call at any time that would pull them away from their meals....
