San Francisco’s police union says a city bakery chain has a “bigoted” policy of not serving uniformed cops.
The San Francisco Police Officers Assn. wrote in a social media post last week that Reem’s California “will not serve anyone armed and in uniform” and that includes “members of the U.S. Military.” The union is demanding that the chain “own” its policy.
Reem’s says, however, its policy isn’t against serving armed police officers. It’s against allowing guns inside its businesses.
They’re not allowed to do that while on duty.
EDIT: For those down voting, to be clear I don’t disagree with the sentiment, just providing facts to a comment.
Shop off duty
Yeah I’m not allowed to eat at a bakery while working either. Tough shit.
Do they need to eat at a bakery while ‘on duty?’
Sounds like not the cafe’s problem. The police department could change the rules if they want cops to be able to interact with ordinary people as semi-equals.
