WEST HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) -

A West Hartford police officer was declined service at a Dunkin' Donuts in West Hartford on Saturday morning.

According to police, the officer entered the coffee shop located at 1234 Farmington Ave., at about 8:30 a.m.

Police said the officer was standing in the back of the line, and a store employee looked over at him and stated very loudly, "he didn't get the message, we don't serve cops here."

The officer left the store without saying anything. When the officer got to his cruiser, he was approached by the manager and the employee who apologized to him.

According to police, the officer told the employee she should apologize to the patrons who seemed to have taken offense to her comment.

The employee then returned inside the store with the manager and officer and apologized to the patrons. She also offered the officer a free cup of coffee, which he decline.

Dunkin' Donuts put out a statement saying, "we are aware of the situation at the Dunkin' Donuts at 1234 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford. The crew member exhibited poor judgment and apologized immediately to the police officer. The franchise owner, a long-time supporter of local police, has also reached out to apologize on behalf of the restaurant. Dunkin' Donuts and our franchisees share a commitment to the well-being and fair treatment of all guests."

It's amusing to note that when a shop refuses to serve gay people it's all "muh religious libertyz" but when they do the same to a cop, it's all "fire that employee at once".

I don't disagree that the employee's behaviour was rude and absurdly unprofessional but the double standards of some people never cease to amaze me.

West Hartford is riddled with a bunch of rich liberals who talk a good game, but can't back it up 

Wonder how it would be spinned if the WHPD said they didn't serve that DD if they ever were to call for help 

Well if they had any brains, they would probably point out that the police force aren't a business, but a service paid for out of the money of all of the locale's taxes that have no legal right to discriminate against people.

 

blah blah "Main stream media" blah blah "leftists".. broken record.

Well they ARE the ones pushing this retarded anti police nonsense and inciting riots, so yes, I would place the blame on them

And sovereign citizen's and many libertarians  

now that cop wil have a chip on thier shoulder for the employee now.... 

Wouldn't think so. The cop clearly was a level headed gentlemen. He didn't kick up a fuss, asked the employee to apologise to the other customers and even refused a free cup of coffee. Not exactly the workings of grudge bearing, chip on the shoulder type now is it?

Imagine the outcry if the officer was a black person.

And what a wimp this cop is. If someone would pull that ###### on me in front of a bunch of people, I would drag him over the counter and kick his ass.

How stupid would that be...especially in a time where a lot of people are paranoid about the police.  The cop responded in the way he should have responded.  Kicking anyone's ass would wind the cop in jail.

I'd hope you'd then arrest yourself and get charged with assault. Two wrongs don't make a right. Thank goodness you're not a cop.

I'm guessing you probably wouldn't. You know, not if you valued your job, career, livelihood and reputation.

If I ever hear a story about a Sheetz store in the eastern USA market doing this I will laugh considering they give cops in uniform free coffee as a method of bringing in police into the stores to create an image of safety without security guards and have done that for as long as I can remember as corporate policy

Well that would certainly calm the situation and restore public trust in the police...

yeah, if anything he should of stayed in line went up to the counter and asked to speak to her manager told them what he heard and dealt with it in the appropriate manner... leaving and saying I don't care I don't want to deal with that crap is also an option, but I'd of at least brought it to managements attention

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
