  1. Awesome! Good man.

    Sad thing is up here when I offer to buy a copper in line behind me a coffee they decline because of what public attitudes have become.

  2. A restaurant known for home cookin’ used to be the standard.
    Safe harbor just makes me want to lock the doors and keep driving.
    Add restaurants to the list of things the left has destroyed.

  3. Kcir, many police agencies have codified in their “Standards and Practices” policy that no officer may accept any gratuities while on the job; coffee, donuts, even half-price meals, all are forbidden on the risk of termination.

    Hopefully, the officers that patronize this place are tipping up the wazzo, this guy needs to stay in business and get rewarded for doing the right thing.

  4. When I managed a 7-11 back in 82-83, police could walk in and have whatever drink they wanted. Just hold it up in the air to let us know what to mark down.

    Their presence was not only welcome, but wanted. Free drinks was pretty darn cheap to have them drop by all time and scare off the ne’er-do-wells.

    Seems their department was wiser than the ones that would terminate for such things. No favorites. Any uniformed officer was welcome at this – even other agencies.

  5. Could somebody drop the eBay link? For the secret decoder ring. The one all the adults in the room wear. To let the rest of the stupid proles, and evil plebes, know what day of the week businesses trying to survive the wreckage of the COVIDession are supposed to tell half the customers “Fnck you! And your money!”? And what days they’re supposed to shut up, take my order, take my money, give me their my stuff, and shut up? (I know, I wrote “shut up” twice. I like “shut up”.)

  6. Rich, correct, well at least for NYPD, they consider it corruption/unlawful gratuity. I was a member of the NYPD and had no problem with the policy whatsoever. The question I always had was why the F do people tip the postal workers ? even better, tip the sanitation workers ? I could lock up a subhuman cromag for a quadruple homicide and get what ? Overtime and an “atta boy” by the guys tht had more time on the job and you know what ? That was better than anything recognition from peers that being said I am not naive and know that they were some real do nothing jerkoffs trying to get free shit all the time
