In re: "Is it rude to..."

This just in from your well-meaning waitress' order tab: "Table 6: cheesburger, fries, bring to-go box with order in case cop gets called out, extra sauce." It's better if you just don't know.

I never got it to go, I wasn't that dedicated. I also tipped well, they wanted me coming back.

The first of the year, a kid working at Burger King was arrested and convicted of putting a "special sauce" on a deputy's burger. It was fortunate the deputy opened his burger and checked before eating it. Who knows how many cops ate there without looking?

That's why I never ate at a fast food joint when I was in uniform. I always went into a regular restaurant where the cook had no idea who ordered what.

This has happened twice in the past few years in a nearby city, one was cought spitting on the burger the other was pissing in the pickles. The latter affected everybody, so it may not have been an LE thing...but the first was caught upon "routine inspection of food" as the paper quoted the officer lol.

I accepted free coffee yesterday. I know...I must confess my sins.....
Today at the same place, with the same server I paid....
Okay..... who's knocking at my door?

(and I accept a discount for my AT&T cell phone too (although it's a military discount))

We are allowed to accept discounts but can NEVER ask for them.

One of loccal convenience stores has a policy to give us free coffee. A new clerk one night charged me and I paid without so much as a peep of protest. I saw the same employee a few weeks later who remembered me and apologized profusely. I told her to not worry about it , I was not going to ask/demand for anything that wasn't offered to me. I can afford the .79c.

If they try to give me anything more than a cup of coffee free , I won't return there.
