as i read earlier, the law enforcement members were not denied service
they were served and upon payment asked not to return
what's wrong with that?
Seriously? lol
"Don't come back now, ya hear!"
"Don't call us when you get robbed, ya hear!"
Honestly - as a customer, I wouldn't feel comfortable stepping a single toe inside a business that DOESN'T want officers AROUND - ever. I don't fear cops but I do fear assholes wanting to rob and do other stupid, illegal ****.
This restaurant had a reoccurring problem with some local cops or did they just bar this one group of particular rude/rowdy cops?
I doubt a restaurant owner would be dumb enough to deny service because of patrons complaining about all cops in general.
Were these cops being menacing to the patrons?

What if the two cops had been two gay guys?

the customers were uncomfortable with the cops there
maybe the customers are criminals
maybe the cops are acting in an intimidating fashion
but if i am a business owner and my other customers do not want the cops present, then i am going to discreetly (unlike the police department) ask that they no longer engage in private business at my private business
they must respond to future calls for assistance. the police choose whether to respond professionally or not
from another article, it seems the owner's son made this unilateral decision in his father's absence
his father has since had a private meeting with the police
I mean, fundamentally nothing. But in the sense that I would also say that a baker, for instance, could refuse making a wedding cake for a same sex marriage. It's their property and business and if they don't want to serve cops, I'd say they were free to do so. But perhaps on some moral level, discriminating by profession is still discrimination. Plus, for the most part, the police are a positive influence.
I'd say that the business is free to do as they like, but they are not free from the consequences. And I think in this case, it's going to be severe.
Obviously the clintenle is uncomfortable with police.
I'd just park my cruiser out front and eat my lunch there, writing parking tickets.

Fully agree.
There would be all hell to pay with the liberal nitwits.
Read the article...it's all cops...
They will respond, as soon as they have an officer available...
Maybe the son is a drug dealer and his business is hurting.
That was a good response and I agree.
If a restaurant owner is fool enough not to want police around, I suppose that is his lookout. Most of us find it reassuring to see cops now and then in various shops and other businesses.
Ya i know what the article says, buddy. Im wondering about the reality of the situation and not what was reported though. Where these cops sitting inside mad dogging the patrons and making them feel menaced?

Or...maybe the customers think the cops are putting them in danger if some nut tries to take the cops out while they're eating at the diner.
Or...maybe the customers aren't comfortable around guns....even if they're cops.
Who knows....it's a strange story...and I'm not sure we're getting both sides.
To the cops credit they said they'd still respond if the diner owner needs or calls them.
Thursday night, however, the family that runs Lucky Teriyaki in Sedro-Woolley, a northwestern Washington town some 70 miles outside of Seattle, said the situation was the result of a language barrier. The owner broke down in tears over the incident and even offered free meals Monday to police, according to Seattle-Tacoma television station KCPQ. Wrote KCPQ, "the man's son said in a heavy accent that it had all been a misunderstanding and he apologized for the incident."
Using an interpreter to talk with the owners, KOMO news reported that Lucky Teriyaki has received death threats. A table near the deputies apparently got upset over a spill, and an employee wondered if it was because police were sitting nearby. The employee asked if they were about to leave. The employee then didn't understand what was happening when asked to clarify by police, according to the story told to KOMO.
Lucky Teriyaki has been flooded with negative comments and Yelp reviews. It now has a one star rating.
