WASHINGTON — An Alexandria police officer who says she was refused service at a local restaurant is getting an apology.

Peter Feltham, with the Alexandria Committee of Police told NBC 4 an Alexandria officer went into a Noodles & Company on Duke Street for dinner Monday evening and was denied service.

“While they were waiting in line, the cook from behind the counter went up to the cash register person and pointed at the police officer and said, ‘You have to take me off the line. I ain’t serving that.’ The officer realized what was happening and rather than make an incident of it, the officer just left the business,” Feltham said.

Police spokeswoman Crystal Nosal says it was never made clear why the officer was singled out, but said she was in full uniform at the time.

Fire is only result. If hesitant, fire the whole crew.

That’s another restaurant who won’t be getting fast police when they call. Keep it up, BLM.

And shame on everyone else in the line and for that matter in the entire restaurant for not walking right out the door behind the officer.....

Agree.

[bgill]

I wouldn’t trust any manager who’d hire such scum.

Soup Du Jour? Cream of sum young guy!

Wait? The shift leader should have immediately stepped in. The other workers there should have immediately thrown noodles at the jerk as he was ushered out the door.

You need to get a real job someday to see how it really works when out in the real world.

Just a heads up, don’t do what you suggested unless you don’t need the job.

There are far more effective ways to deal with jerks and troublemakers without getting your car keyed or worse.

Refuse to serve an on-duty cop: a First Amendment social statement. Refuse to bake two dykes a 'wedding' cake: a federal snivel rights case. The hell with the 'law', the media, and and the SJW snowflakes. Live your conscience, and if they pitch a tantrum, level your horns and gore them.

When will police officers start suing these places?

[mkjessup]

Shoot those damn monkeys.

[Uncle Sam 911]

How long does it take to review the video or ask the cook if he said that?

[falcon99]

BS on talking, the cook should be fired

[Bon mots]

BLM should clean up their own act first, then they would be surprised that others treat them better.

[bgill]

I have fired more than my share of jerks with one was the son of the head of the local NAAPC. Yes, I have posted that in the past. But, hey, thanks for the advice. Are you one I’ve fired?

[Dalberg-Acton]

That is just local to the computer in your house.

Some things you have to stand up for, instead of cowering in fear of losing your minimum-wage job. That’s the real world.

Just checked the restaurant’s reviews on Google Earth (59 of them). The most recent twenty are almost all one star out of five and mention very poor service. They are almost all within the last week. They really stepped on it this time.

That’s not all I’d be packing.....................
