The Wawa and Dunkin Donuts in town here give free coffee to cops as well, and a discount on other stuff. As a result, you can count on at least 1 patrol car dropping by per hour. Considering those are both open late, one's on a major highway and the other's on a main road and across from the projects, security is an issue.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I also like Chipotle because it's one of the few places where the food is prepped in front of you. Lets me see if anyone's slipped anything extra in.
Spit, I don't care about so much as other things. It's gross and nasty, but it's not nearly as heinous as slipping weed/LSD or glass into an officer's meal.

My wife was a cop, as everyone probably knows. Her city issued an edict that cops were not allowed to take these benefits. She said that a couple of businesses kept doing it anyway, but most stopped. This came after a murder, of course. A cop was getting reduced rent at an apartment complex where a girlfriend stabbed her boyfriend to death. The boyfriend's family made a big stink about how the cop was being paid to protect the people that live there (you know, with his super-need for no sleep and x-ray vision), so that effectively ended the free stuff.
You tell us, then I remember for a while, and then it slips back off the radar, repeat.

One place I worked, a guy short changed a delivery driver, and slammed the door in his face when the driver realized his mistake. Then the customer was dumb enough to call back the very next day... Dropping the sandwich on the floor and playing hockey with it was the least disgusting thing that happened.
But I hope no one was dumb enough to try that on a cop.

Maaaaaan the super-monster ain't even on the menu any more.
Unless you like having any semblance of flavor in your burrito.
At the bottom of the story ws some clickbait I bit on. Sand kittens. So much cuter than my bartender. They're now my wallpaper.

That's the second time you've made reference to your bartender. Is she the meterstick by which you judge the appearance of all women?
She's happy to see me, keeps my coffee cup full, brings me the food I ask for, and turns the TV to the football game.
So not just the appearance of all women.
So paid to keep you happy is what you're looking for in a woman.
I used to work at Tims overnight and our policy was to give free coffee to officers in uniform as well. I was super tired one shift and this guy in uniform was arguing about the free coffee and I insisted. Once I passed it over, I realized he was a bus driver

Exactly! I've been down that road - oy the headaches. And the heartaches! These days I wonder if simpler might not be better.

I want to go eat lunch, but I won't have time to do so and get back in time for the national EAS test at 1:25, which the owner of the company says we all have to be on hand for, even though it is completely automated.
I guess my station's a little more important in this regard, given that it is the primary EAS relay for the entire market, and if the test doesn't work on my station, it doesn't work on ANY stations in the listening area.

Sure, but whiskey, vodka and gin doesn't make for a well-balanced lunch. They don't contain any of the four major food groups - Burnt Brown Crunchy Bits, fat, starch and sugar.
Not according to Sir Saint Terry.

Nothing all that substantial. Crackers and cheese at most.
Anyway, the test just aired, so I can go eat now.
Mine has diet coke, strawberry tea, spicy noodles and sour candies
