Just read a restaurant back home is getting lit up by social media users for the owner supporting police and not removing his half off discounts to them. Ridiculous if something like that bothers you

Why should they get one unless their order turned out poorly the first time?

Don't you have a good salary? Can you not pay for it?

I mean they should at least be fair

If the cops get them then the bloods and the crips and other gang members should too.

Nah.

I left a DQ cause they only gave college discounts to one college in town. There are 2 others that are smaller, but they don't care

No one is saying they should, but if the owner wants to, why does that bother you? Its their business

I don't see why they'd particularly need one, unless it's a all encompassing EMT, firefighter, police, and military discount kind of thing. But anyone who is actually mad at it for existing is an asshole.

People get upset about literally everything on social media. And yes, it's ridiculous but that's social media for you. Nothing wrong with first responder discounts imo. If stores want to give cops, firemen, EMT or whatever discounts then ok. It's actually not that uncommon:

Because the business owner can charge whatever they want?

I used to give a guy rides to work who was in the reserves and hes the only dude i ever saw do this.

We stopped for coffee and two cops ahead of us got theirs free then he mentioned he was in the military and expected the same. He was such a goof about it i had to pretend i didnt know him.

This was going to be my followup point.

Cops are like... the last public service people Id give discounts to.

I work for a bank. Can I get a discount? If your answer is no, then why not?

When you give someone special treatment, dont be shocked people get upset about it. Especially a group seen as villains for many people.

Itd be like if politicians get discounts. Sure, its the business discretion. But its also free for people to comment on it.

People get upset at the stupidest things. Best not to pay attention to people who whine about everything.

I hate it when the hot waitress kneels down and gives a cop a free blowjob right in front of me.

Yeah it happens. Don't @ me.

Not that I'm defending police, but...isn't a common complaint about policework is that you're not paid enough for the risks taken?

Also, military/police discounts are common. Even fucking Burger King (as I'm sure other fast food places do as well) has them, right on the monitor in plain view.
