Newton, Kansas. A police officer and his girlfriend swung by Taco Bell to grab some takeaway Tex-Mex to take home. As they got home, they hungrily tore open their food, but found something pretty shocking. An employee at the restaurant had clearly recognized the cop and decided to pass on a message. But not a nice one…
At least two of the soft shell tacos, the worked had scribbled the word ‘pig’ on…
The cop returned the items and the incident’s not gone done well with the top brass at Taco bell…
“We do not share the same belief or view as the employee whatsoever,” Jeff Graves, Senior Director of Operations for the company told the media. “Our company, Taco Bell, has always been pro-law enforcement, military. We’ve always supported the police in our community. Many of our restaurants give police discounts when they come in and eat.”
“We’ve of course apologized to him, all the Newton Police officers and, in fact, everyone in the community,” Graves added. “In fact, I’ve even met with the lieutenant with the Newton Police Department this morning, and we’re even going to plan a community event working with the Newton Police officers within the next week just to show our support for the officers and the community.”
The employee’s since been fired. Here’s the full story:
