Across the United States, some police officers have received a less than a warm welcome at their local restaurants.
In Minnesota, Florida, and Missouri, members of law enforcement have had service outright denied to them, in certain cases simply and expressly because they were police officers.
In Conroe, Texas, however, one restaurant is sending a very clear message to members of law enforcement, and it’s likely one that won’t leave them scrambling for an apology: In an image posted to Facebook on Friday, Chick-fil-A employees at the College Park location in Conroe are seen wearing uniforms reading “Back the Blue” across the back.
“We’re supporting those everyday heroes that protect us. There are [police officer] regulars that eat here all the time, and we just want them to know that.”
