Fricken cops!!

I have to vent, My wife has been working at the local IHOP for over 8 years and has tons of loyal customers that won't even eat if she's not there. Well, last night they got hit pretty hard with customers and my wife had told the manager to call in some help earlier......he said " we should be o.k."
She has never been written up for anything in 8 years. These 3 local cops come in and decide to sit themselves without waiting. Then they start complaining that service is slow. Got into some kind of verbal confrontation with my wife. Wife goes in for a meeting today with the manager and gets fired......because "they were officers on duty" My wife is sitting in the parking lot crying now and just hung up with me. I guess one of the cops called in to complain that the service was bad. Makes me want to go kick some dumb ignorant cop right in the teeth!! My wife is the best person I know in this world and it kills me to see her get treated this way!! ok, I'm done

Well, you have to either go ALL PUBLIC with this or forget about it and move on....Any complaint you make "quietly" will possibly net you more trouble.

You could complain to the IHOP national management I guess and see if that works first. But my guess is you will get the "hiring/firing decisions are up to the local management" form letter.

Me, I would be writing letters to the mayor,chief of police, management of the IHOP in question, the national IHOP management and (most importantly) the SPOUSES of the cops in question..... CCing the local papers and TV and radio stations as well, laying it all out.

If you're gonna make a stink, make it a big one.

IMHO, this deserves a big stink.

Thats not right at all.
