A manager at a fast food restaurant in Texas is looking for a new job after being fired for refusing to serve 2 police officers.
Officers Michael Magovern and Cameron Beckham stopped by Whataburger in Lewisville on Tuesday, September 15, and were turned away before they could even get up to the counter.
"We don't serve cops," the officers were told, according to Fox 4 News.
The cops thought it was a joke, but the manager didn't say another word. The 2 left and ate somewhere else.
I was basically in shock," said Beckham. "It's not every day that you go to a establishment thinking that you're gonna hear something like that."
The restaurant chain has issued an apology, saying the employee has been fired.
"We were appalled to hear of an employee refusing service to two officers, as we have proudly served first responders across our system for decades. As soon as we heard of this isolated incident, we began our own internal investigation overnight. The employee that refused service is no longer employed with Whataburger. We've also invited the officers back today so we can apologize in person and make this right."
