A Texas Whataburger employee was fired Wednesday for refusing to serve two police officers in what the company is describing as an appalling incident.
Officers Michael Magovern and Cameron Beckham were working off-duty security at a construction site on I-35 early Wednesday morning when they decided to stop at the restaurant in Lewisville, FOX 26 reports.
Magovern said before he could even place his order, the man behind the counter told him “We don’t serve police officers.”
The two officers decided to leave and went and got food at Dairy Queen instead.
"We were appalled to hear of an employee refusing service to two officers, as we have proudly served first responders across our system for decades,” Whataburger said in a statement Wednesday. “As soon as we heard of this isolated incident, we began our own internal investigation overnight. The employee that refused service is no longer employed with Whataburger. We've also invited the officers back today so we can apologize in person and make this right."

Finally, a company responds correctly when an idiot employee refuses to serve police officers.
Is the fired employee another of those Urban Amish?
If you’re ever in a car accident, don’t call the police for help.
The moron who refused the officers service will likely have proudly and joyously “journaled” his stunt on facebook by now..
And the US Attorney in Dallas should charge the ex-employee for discriminating against the two police officers because of their race. The fired former employee is African-American. The two police officers were Caucasians.
Another high paying career taken away by The Man. # yojobmatter
I bet that employee was Black because only Black Lives Matter. Any takers on that bet?
LOL! Urban Amish! I wish there was a picture of that employee to take a good look at the face of a bigot.
Under the current administration, it is far more likely that Whataburger will be charged with discrimination for firing the employee.
He probably didn’t want his job anyway, is my guess.
The racist white power structure claims another victim!
Good good, I wouldn’t want to give that up.
Not doubting you, but got a link for that? Hate repeating stuff elsewhere that turns out bogus.
Yeah, in all the threads today, leading up to this story about the employee being fired, I have seen no evidence of race.
“The fired former employee is African-American. The two police officers were Caucasians.
Not doubting you, but got a link for that? Hate repeating stuff elsewhere that turns out bogus.”
****
it’s on the FOX26 link on the link, there’s a video with the 2 “caucasian” cops, aka WHITE COPS.
There I said it, whew! MichaeIt, was it really hard to say “white cop” and “black employee” or is liberal white guilt prevalent in your fsmily?
But what the newly fired employee (discreetly, from a distance).
Got no sound, just saw two chubby white guys at the Fox link.
Which, in itself, leads to the inescapable conclusion...
“He probably didn’t want his job anyway, is my guess.”
My husband flew for a company based in Atlanta. The turn over in flight attendants was extremely high. They’d work just long enough to qualify for unemployment. And you can guess the demographic.
