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.

Ha! I saw a twitter comment that said, I'm sure Mike Huckabee is organizing a parade as this cook is a Patriot who is only upholding her deeply held beliefs.

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:

This "incident" is being blown out of proportion.

The business did not "refuse service" to anyone. One line cook told her boss she wouldn't cook for the officer. At that point, it was a matter for the business to resolve internally----whether that meant firing the staff member or suspending her, etc. The officer would still have been served ifmshe hadn't left.

This is a non-issue.

I think getting bad service is one thing. Refusing to serve someone because they are a police officer is a completely different thing. I can't see how you can equate the two.

I don't see how that commentator can know the officer would have been served if she hadn't left. Maybe she would have been served but who knows what the cook would have done to her food. If someone stated that they would not cook for me and they were made to I would leave too. I would not trust the food they cooked.

Um, no. 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?

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

I am willing to discuss race but as race has not been specified I wouldn't even speculate about the race of any involved parties...
