Arby's Apologizes After Employee Reportedly Refuses to Serve Pembroke Pines Officer
NBC News Miami ^ | Sept. 2, 2015 | NBC News

The head of Arby's restaurant chain has apologized to the Pembroke Pines Police Department after an employee at a local restaurant reportedly refused to serve a uniformed officer.

Arby's Chief Executive Officer, Paul Brown, and Senior Vice President of Operations, Scott Boatwright, contacted PPPD Chief Dan Giustino to apologize on behalf of the organization, according to a police report.

Both men assured Giustino that the employee's behavior was "unacceptable" and did not represent the company's values.

Giustino accepted the apology, and the department considers the matter closed.

In a Facebook post Tuesday, another officer alleged that on Monday, a fellow uniformed officer was denied service at the Arby's located at 11755 Pines Boulevard near the Pembroke Lakes Mall.

"Real nice, Arby's" the post says, before encouraging others to boycott the restaurant.

If the manager did indeed back this idiot employee drastic action needs to be taken by the franchise owner and Arbys.

“Perhaps they could fire Sh’Queena. The employee who denied service.”...........


I can see why you laugh about some of the things that come to mind. Do you think such name is racist? Is that an Amish name? HaHa!

Isn’t it a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for a restaurant to refuse service to ANYONE?

I had a buddy who worked at a McDonalds near a college campus. The campus rent-a-cops tried to hit them up for free coffee all the time.

He and the manager always refused. “The free coffee is for REAL cops!” Clearly the guy in this story is an actual cop.

they didn’t apologize, they practiced damage control. had they been serious, they would have made sure that the employee was fired, and that the manager made some concrete good-will gesture. when i was in the business, every cop in uniform got a free waffle. the cost was so insignificant that it never showed up at all, the cops loved us, and we never had any problems with unrulies.

Sounds like the officer needs to come out as “gay” and sue the employee, franchisee and main office for discrimination.

And not stop until he has drained every stinking one of them of their futures.

The CEO and a Senior Vice President both call to apologize, and deal with a PR nightmare, and people here think there's a chance the offending employee wasn't fired, really?

I’m pretty sure the militant blacks aren’t targeting police solely. At lunch today I walked out of a Hardee’s when I saw black workers preparing food. I intend to not patronize restaurants if I can see that minorities are handling (possibly spitting on and peeing on) my food.

I recall Jesse Jackson laughing about how he used to spit in white customers’ food. Since Obama has increased racial tension to such a large degree, I just figure I’m not taking any chances.
