"At the Wrigleyville location of a pizza bar, a to-go receipt given to a uniformed, “riot ready” Chicago police officer had “quit your job” handwritten in blue ink across the officer’s copy; the order listed a 14-inch pepperoni pizza, a blackened chicken Caesar salad, jalapeno popper “homies,” and mozzarella breadsticks with a total of $65.89 and a roughly $7 (about 10.6%) tip. The officer reportedly discarded the meal out of concern for possible tampering. Ownership fired the employee, issued a public apology stressing that one person’s action does not reflect the company, and made personal outreach to offer a full refund and a gift card to the officer’s restaurant of choice." - Naomi Waxman
