Restaurant fires server who told police detective to ‘quit your job’ on his receipt

A restaurant server reportedly lost her job after giving a police detective a snarky “tip” on his receipt.
The server, who worked at the Happy Camper restaurant in the Wrigleyville neighborhood of Chicago, reportedly wrote “Quit your job!” on the detective’s receipt on Sunday, according to a photo obtained by local outlet CWB Chicago.
The outlet reported that the detective reportedly threw away his order after seeing the note, worried something had been done to his food.
On Monday, Happy Camper posted a statement about the incident on its website and Facebook page, saying it had fired the employee, and offered a sincere apology.
“We sincerely and humbly apologize -- the action of one does not accurately reflect who we are as a company,” the post continued. “We have zero tolerance for any behavior that doesn’t give our customers the full respect they deserve.”
“Please also know that Happy Camper has reached out to the police officer to personally apologize, offer a full refund and provide a gift card to his restaurant of choice,” the comment said. “Thanks again to all of our customers for your understanding.”

When you go to work leave your politics at home. Some people just don't get it.

As a known police officer or federal agent, when you have no choice but to eat at a commercial facility, it is always advisable to order from a place where you can actually observe the help doing the preparation. Likewise, if you observe the ethnic composition of the employees and there is what I call a racial imbalance, I’d suggest you find another venue in which to dine. A former friend took me to breakfast at a restaurant in Greenbelt, which appeared to be staffed by rejects from the NBA or NFL and I will never go out to dine with him again. If he ever asks, I’ll definitely let him know the reason.

How can you say there is no problem with police when Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend was offered a plea deal if he would claim that she was part of an “organized crime syndicate.” When you are 40% more likely to experience domestic violence if married to a police officer...

Chicago no less.

I suppose she "woke" up after a dose of reality and probably not a very "Happy Camper"!

Good idea 1:41, I might do the same thing if I ever go out to eat again. However I refuse to wear a mask in a restuarant that tells you to wear it all times except when eating.

Offered a plea deal by an attorney, not a cop. Get your facts straight. Cops can't offer plea deals.
