ALEXANDRIA, VA A uniformed Virginia police officer was denied service at a Noodles & Company restaurant Monday evening. The Alexandria Police Department said one of the restaurant's cooks refused to serve her while she was wearing a uniform. As the officer was standing in line at the Noodles & Company location on Duke Street in Alexandria, the department says a female cook came out from the back and told the cashier, 'You better pull me off the line, because I'm not serving that,' gesturing at the officer. The department says the cashier and the cook started laughing, and the officer left.

Will police stage a lunch counter sit in?
Won’t be going there again.
If I were a cop in that town or a county health inspector I would give that place a little extra attention.
Still waiting for the habitually offended class, to file a complaint over this. I thought you couldn’t deny service to people any longer. Yeah, sure...
This is all crazy. This is not my father’s country anymore.
Never been to this chain restaurant, but I’m going to hope that the cook was fired.
It’s nice of these idiots to keep letting good Americans know which restaurants don’t deserve their patronage.
They did him a favor.
Next time, they'll just contaminate the food with who knows what and do their guffawing privately in the kitchen.
I don’t think they are laughing now.
What can you tell me about the race of the POS who refused service?
You’d never catch Joe Friday eating at a place like that.
Seems like the HR of Noodles and Company hire low educated vermin. Memo to self: Never ever eat there.
Never been there and never will, unless it’s to rob it now.
2 people were fired
Well there’s a tension between interests here.
I am pretty sure this is not official Noodles & Company policy and if they got documentation of it, the personnel responsible would soon be gone.
And if it is official Noodles & Company policy it would be absolutely idiotic.
But it raises the perennial question. Should we have legal civil rights requirements upon service rendered by a private entity. Being unable to manage such a system sanely (case in point, the gay cakes) ought to argue strongly for its abolition.
Not in the article, so I’m guessing they haven’t been.
“They did him a favor.”
Him who?
