Officer Accused Of Threatening Starbucks Managers For Free Coffee
http://www.local6.com/news/16904043/detail.html
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A police lieutenant in Daytona Beach was fired over accusations that he threatened slower emergency response times if he was not given complimentary specialty Starbucks coffee drinks. Glad the department took action. Petty but annoying kind of blackmail for sure. |
That b@stard!! Free regular coffee wasn't good enough, he had to go for the "specialty" coffees.:rolleyes:
|
Was he expecting Starbucks to provide free pastries, too, or was he shaking down Dunkin Donuts as well?
|
... and where does it end? I'm sure he needs gas and groceries too.:D
Thankfully his reign of terror is over. |
Bad Cop=No Donut

No soup for YOU!

Are you guys kidding? Cops get free drugs, free BJs and nooky off hookers, free food, TAKE MONEY OFF DRUG DEALERS and usually never get a ticket or DUI from another officer. FREE PASS TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT! :mad:

If I owned (or managed) a business like Starbucks, I'd certainly give free coffee to officers on-duty. It's a kind gesture, and it CAN build a good relationship and some goodwill to cash in when you might need it. That said, it's a little presumptuous for the officer in question to assume his drinks will always be free. If I were the cop, I'd assume I needed to pay, and be thankful and polite when/if the drinks are free.

Free Java
I'm a Starbucks barista with in a local NC Target store. If it were my call I would give A free coffee to all of the following: any officer on duty, current military person/s in uniform and any recognizable veteran especially WWII.
These people are or have put their life on the line. Besides that it is good PR. We through away more coffee because of Starbucks fresh brew every 30 minutes rule. tarheel75 :) |
