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

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
