But Would They Have Served the Lone Ranger and Tonto?

The Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant in Manassas, Virginia restaurant with one very dense employee on its roll has the honor of being the first entry to our new blog. The reason will be immediately obvious. This item is taken from Cheryl K. Chumley, of the Washington Times.

It seems our stalwart anti-gun employee refused to serve eight police officers (plain clothes but displaying their badges) because - get this - they were carrying guns. Here's the quote:

"A restaurant manager in Manassas, Virginia has gone on the defensive, rushing to apologize after an employee refused to serve eight police officers because they were carrying weapons."

According to the story as detailed by the Washington Times, the officers were not only refused service, they were asked to leave. How stupid is this? For starters, cops are allowed to carry their weapons legally because they are police officers (Duh!) The fact that they were plain clothes does not mean necessarily that they were off duty. After all, they were displaying badges - something officers don't do when they are off duty (another "duh").

But to top it off, now the whole world knows that not only does this restaurant have no way to protect itself in case of a robbery, but every Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant in the country has the same policy. So goodbye cops and hello thieves.

I can think of at least one restaurant where it would not be safe to eat, especially around closing time. The manager wants the cops back and has "reached out to the Prince William County Police Department." Don't expect a stampede of cops to their front door.
