The Days of Police Receiving Preferential Treatment at Restaurants Might Be Over | Eater

"On July 4, 2019 uniformed police officers were asked by a barista at a Tempe location to move or leave because their presence made another customer uncomfortable, prompting the officers to call for a boycott and the company to publicly condemn the employee and say officers should have been welcomed and treated with dignity; the episode fit a pattern of confrontations reported at similar cafes, from rude messages like “PIG” on cups to instances where deputies were allegedly ignored for minutes, with corporate responses typically including reprimands, firings, and statements about respecting law enforcement." - Jaya Saxena
