I’m a cop in a medium sized city in Nevada. I try to stay away from Starbucks or any other upscale coffee joints. Not because I don’t like their coffee, I just don’t want people thinking I’m in there scoring free coffee. In patrol I stop by various Stop and Robs for my ghetto Starbucks, and I always insist on paying....the convenience store owners and managers are always happy to see a police uniform in their store, especially in some of the (ahem) more at-risk areas...

Good for you!

Did you get your screen name from the Don Rickles character in “Kelly’s Heros”? Just curious.

God Bless you, and thank you for what you do!
Be careful out there!

You were saying ...

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, QuikTrip is all over the place, a very nice and upscale gas station/convenience store setup. Some people say that they "own Tulsa" (headquarters in Tulsa) ... LOL ...

But, anyway, I see the Tulsa Police in there a lot and I think they have an working arrangement with the police to get free drinks and donuts, as I've seen them wave at the clerks and walk on by and out of the store.

And that's fine by me... I don't care one way or another, and it's a good way to have the Tulsa Police always stopping by and in the stores ... :-) [they are "all over" Tulsa, that's for sure ...]
