I don't get why everything is "news"? I had bad service from a cashier at Noodles & Co, he had major unnecessary attitude with me. See I always order a different sauce with the noodle I want and that always creates confusion. I just emailed his manager and got a swift response. Sounds like this employee will be fired, end of story.
Started reading the comments and someone said the same thing I did:

I believe that to be grounds for termination.

so the gal working on the cook line said she won't cook for the cop?
and i guess it's just implied that the cook was a black gal right?
cos i assume that is the crux of the issue
i'd imagine she'll be fired - too bad she couldn't keep her mouth shut
she can feel however she wants to - but to actually earn that money - sometimes ya gotta zip the lip
everyone, in every job, does shit they don't want to do
but we, as a society, have told people to speak their minds whereever and whenever - and that all others should be tolerant
it's bullshit
it's a shame that noodles and company will suffer backlash from an ignorant employee

No one implied anything except you. The local news did not speculate the race of either the cook or the cashier who laughed with the cook after they said they would not cook for the officer. You know what happens when you assume something?

I already told you I was in that same position this year. We don't know the whole story of why she didn't want to cook for him. The people working there are under the age of 25. Maybe she was arrested by that police office and had history with him. We don't know.

What are the chances that the Police Chief's name is Cook. Seriously though, this is discrimination. I can't understand how people are trying to get their message across while being hypocrites. Really boggles my mind.

You ordered a "special snowflake" order, you caused confusion, they got your order wrong, you whined. This person was discriminated against. Plain and simple. You would feel different if you were denied service because of your job, I am sure.

You know what happens when you assume something? then i wonder why this became national news? i've gone into a local fast food restaurant and had the cashier go to the back (small area and we aren't the best of friends) so essentially she refused to serve me -- but someone else took over and i just laughed while it's shitty that it happened to the officer and i'm all about respecting those that serve and protect the officer made the decision to leave - they weren't denied service gina

We had the same thing happen here. A cashier refused to service to an officer. Not cool since the station is right next door to the business. This place has lost its liquor license at least 3 times. She had outstanding warrants. And I seriously wish people would stop shopping there.

Add to the list....we have several places that have done this in our area. They are the ones loosing, people have came out in support of boycotting. Then you have very supportive resturants, mom & pop and Chick-fil-a & Texas roadhouse. We will keep spending our money at resturants and establishments that support those that serve and protect.

You know what happens when you assume something? why are we so afraid to dicuss race (actually lots of you AREN'T afraid to discuss race obviously) if this was a white (insert any other race other than black)employee - it wouldn't even make the local paper the cop would just go and bitch to her friends/fellow officers - and rightly so

One employee does not represent an entire company (unless it's the CEO). If they have personal opinions that are in contrary to the company's and the company handles it, it should be a moot point. Guys... the MEDIA is the enemy here. They are the ones keeping everyone on both sides riled up because of bullshit stories like this.

My point, annabella, is that the cook refused service to the cop because of his uniform, which is a form of discrimination. Ultimately, the officer got his order, so it worked out. However, had the officer refused to help her because of her Noodles & Co. hat (uniform), or because she was a woman, or because she was white/ black/ brown, or pink... It isn't right. If she is not willing to serve all customers equally, she needs to not work in that position.

i know it's splitting hairs but if this is national news the details must be important
the officer and the cook were both female
i guess it's a natural assumption (because in my head - before i reread the article) both parties were men (and isn't that sad?)
and is there another article - cos this one says the officer left without being served gina

Oh, but what if serving police officers or women or people who carry weapons goes against her sincerely held religious beliefs? According to Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton(our dipshit atty general here in Texas), and many others on the right, this should be protected under freedom of religion.

Sure, but it's kind of hard to have 10,000 employees and make sure every single one of them walks the straight and narrow. When one of them steps out of line with the company policy management needs to take action. They did. Yet it still made news - which is my point.

But that didn't stop the many multi-page threads about those poor put-upon bakers who were expected to bake cakes for gay weddings. I'm not a spreadsheet keeper so I don't know who if anyone defended that action but lambasted this one - I just don't see a whole lot of people trying to defend the Noodles employee with near as much vigor as the bakers.

And because people don't believe LEO are being denied services. Good for the officer for leaving. I would not eat food prepared anywhere near someone that didn't want to cook for me. There is no telling what would/could happen to that food before it was served.

I'll go out on a limb here and state that I think the difference between the bakers were that they owned the bakery and could set their business policies on who to serve. They will take any direct profit hit for their beliefs. That is their freedom of not working for someone else.
This cook didn't own the restaurant/chain and doesn't make the policies but has to abide by corporate policies. Employees don't generally have freedom of speech with no consequences. Instead the corporation gets the bad press and loss of income. Therefore she should lose her job if she is unwilling to serve all that want to buy, including red, white, brown, black, blue, yellow, purple or flying spaghetti monsters.
I thought the county clerk who refused to sign same-sex marriage certificates should have quit/lost her job too because again she wasn't the one to control the policies/laws and that was the job she had been hired to do. If it goes against her personal beliefs she should move on to a different job.
When you work for someone else, they get to make the policies and rules as long as they don't go against federal, state and local law.
