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."

Frankly I’d rather a black server be up-front and refuse to serve me than have him spitting or peeing in my food out of sight.
Starting about six months back, I’ll walk out if I see blacks behind the counter or in the kitchen. I know it’s not fair to the decent ones, but how do you know?
I won’t go to a black doctor, either due to Affirmative Action. Again, there are wonderful black doctors, but how do you know if they excelled in med school or skated through by via A.A.? My mom went to one who was assigned to her, and he about killed her — literally.
It’s sad that it’s come to this, but it has. If the god-fearing, high-achieving blacks want this to change they need to be ultra activist in turning things around in their communities.
Then you'd never eat out down South. Here in Alabama, most every kitchen in service has black help, cooks, chefs, dishwashers, fry-cooks, preparers, etc., etc.
Mayflower, what you say is simple common sense.
Spitting in white people’s food is a passive aggressive deal with them, and more common than folks realize.
Ever wonder why they giggle and laugh when handing you your food?
I refuse to buy any fast food were i cannot see the kitchen, and I refuse to go anywhere that the black employees are overtly rude and hostile, like the KFC on main street in my town.
Thanks
Thanks.
I got a wrong heads up with this.
Any help. Never call the police. If you hate them, why would you ever call cops for anything?
I don't hate cops in general but I despise the bad ones that bring down the others. Sometimes they are a necessity and serve good purpose, and as your page so aptly states (lots of good stuff there - thank you)
Policemen and laws can never replace these restraints on personal conduct. At best, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. This failure to fully transmit value norms to subsequent generations represents another failing of the greatest generation.

One can argue we have gone way past the point where we are no longer instilling/transmitting the value norms. We have put ourselves in the position where the last desperate line of defense has some validity even though those in power will surely use it to subjugate us further. We, with the tireless 'help" of the Left have brought it upon ourselves where cops are no longer public servants but have found it necessary to equip for war as a means of its own self defense.
If I have an accident, I'll call the cops to write up the report. If I'm in danger, I'll give the cops a post-event report so they can dispose of the body and notify next of kin.
I really like your homepage and the quotes you put there - too bad we can't/won't follow the logical process that those wise folks would propose for us.
I live in Tennessee; I eat out all the time.
Tennessee? You’re a Northerner!

Seriously, what I mean then, fellow Southern, is that at least down here in these parts I hail from, there are just too many blacks to avoid them in the situation you describe. Although with the illegal aliens taking all the jobs, that soon might end for the restaurant business, even down in parts where blacks are half the population.
I get what you mean; we’re quasi-southerners here in TN, I guess. (I actually was raised in NY state.) Still, I’m not inclined to each where I think my food might be unsafe for any reason. I never “send it back” to the kitchen, either.

Anarchy
Without law we have anarchy, we have the devil stalking the earth, picking us off one by one, the weak and strong alike. We are all vulnerable at times. It is not only justice; in the end it is survival itself.
Without law, who will protect the mother and child who are tomorrow’s strength? Who will protect the geniuses of the mind, the inventor, the artist who enriches the world but has not the power of money or physical ability to defend himself? Who will protect the wise who are old, and might fall victim to the powerful and foolish? Indeed who will protect the strong from themselves?

God Bless
We used to have a Christian in every room.
Every political meeting, police station, public school - all expected behavior that met basic Christian standards. Public behavior was G-rated and anything else was done privately or in secret.
That is the only way the freedoms we have enjoyed can continue.
