It’s only a “misunderstanding” because he got caught.
Yep! That’s how it works with them.
Bingo
And dealt with!
Poor little baby didn’t want to take another order. Go home to mommy she’ll give you a hug.
He didn't want take another order *only to cops
Having a bad day translates to singling out serving cops specifically? His alleged choice of words doesn't fit his alibi. I call BS.
Yeah.
You got it.
You are prob a bullshiter too
H. Shakur = Clueless troll
@@shakur4648 And why is that? Why am I likely to be a bullshitter? What evidence do you see in my 3 sentences that has allowed you to deduce this?
@@shakur4648 you are a tool.
Its what they are learning at school . Justice served .
Nice try, kid, but having a bad day doesn't excuse your behavior.
I got asked at work to fix my attitude when I was told to work on a mothers day when my mom passed away only 2 weeks prior. I refused. I'm not defending this man baby only others who have a right to say no.
I worked in customer services for years and had many bad days but was never disrespectful to a customer.
@@garyholt4445 congratulations.
Darn right!
The Police walk in and he refuses to serve them, how is that a misunderstanding?
Kid was trying to be trendy and it backfires on him. haha
How come you're using Beaver Builder's logo?
@@LilacDaisy2 I needed a profile pic and since my name is Beaver I googled beavers and this pic popped up, he's cute so I chose him.
@@wifemotherconservative3432 Oh, haha. I thought you were a fellow website designer, who had video tips on using Beaver Builder. I was so confused when I looked at your profile and saw no videos, lol. It is a cute logo, hey?
@@LilacDaisy2 Aww sorry to get your hopes up.
Just another stupid sheep, hope this will be good lesson for him, real world has real consequences, real world is not twitter or another lefty sh*t hole.
The police have served his ignorant mind all his life. God bless our law enforcement.
Right cops are literally perfect! People are crazy dissing these men and woman who dedicate their entire existence to making sure we the citizens are safe. They even put our safety over officer safety, I always laugh when there’s an investigation on a cop doing something like killing or beating someone because I’m like how can you investigate people who don’t make mistakes. There’s a reason why 90% of those cops investigation they find that they did nothing wrong because they can’t I rest my case cops are better then everyone else you guys needs to be better people like cops and my buddy Aurturu
@@EastSideDuppavilla cop work is hell, especially in bit cities, such pussy ass like you, wouldn't last a day doing it. So yeah, you should be at least grateful to people who are doing this work.
Cop lover. Your clearly a boot licker.
Sure they have
And now we know he is a lier as well. He took a stand that he thought would make him popular with his friends , And then he found out there is often a price to pay for taking a stand.
Now the coward wants to back it all up. I wish him no harm but he made his bed.
The old adage: "Be sure brain is engaged before operating mouth".
...an alternative is, "Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth into gear!"
"I'm not serving them." would represent an employee tired and not wanting to take care of another customer. "It's the cops." takes on a whole different message, and that let the light shine on how he really felt.
Absofuckinlutely
Lol fuck the police.
@@Letsdoittv67 you wouldn't be saying that if someone raped your family members, or touched your kids in a swimming pool, or, maybe you will. Do you have kids? I would never teach my boy to fear police no matter how bad my experience has been with them in the past, which isn't good, but it's my fault not theirs. When you grow up, maybe, you'll learn some respect.
@@Letsdoittv67 we all know what people do when somebody so much as offends people who say fuck the police. They call the cops
@@marshallmatters1526😂Still throating pigs?
Some stupid people feel bad after they get caught and face the CONSEQUENCES.
If he did this today he would be promoted and offered a job at Starbucks.
I doubt it. Starbucks is a good company that treats its employees well and discriminates against no people, including police! He might get a job at an independent coffee house where libtards hang. No other place will hire him. He'll have to get in line with other Liberal Arts grads at the Unemployment office. I am now editing my above remarks. A Policeman was served a coffee drink with a tampon in it at a Starbucks. They did not comment except to say "the employee is being dealt with". I will no longer support or patronize Starbucks again. They have shamed me for supporting them! Disgraceful! I apologize to all who read my original post. Looks like Starbucks has gone libtard. If police see rioters destroying SB they should refuse to do anything. Shameful!!!!
@@patricktruchon9153 They have refused anyone they conceive as "Conservative", and I think they have refused police as well!.
@@patricktruchon9153 Here is Starbucks not discriminating against cops
ruclips.net/video/Ny8nzKpGb7k/видео.html
@@patricktruchon9153 Just an FYI, there have been quite a few incidents at different Starbucks stores. It may not be a regular thing, but that was nothing new
@@patricktruchon9153 Starbucks has always "bent the knee" to leftists
"They're cops"... that's VERY clear. No misunderstanding your intent. At all.
Snowflake should at least own their disrespectful actions
Thumper J = I know the meaning moron and it describes you.
@not_a_bug_but_a_feature He did the old bs apology that everyone who isn't actually sorry does where you make excuses, not a real apology.
SNOW FLAKE ? ARE YOU BLACK IS THIS A RACIST COMMENT ?
@@johnnycash578 are you slow?
You don't get respect just for being a cop. Cops are bigger snowflakes than anyone. Why don't they just do what conservatives always say when a refusal of service involves, say, gay, trans, Muslim or disabled customers -- "take your business elsewhere"? But nah, cops want to act like they're a protected minority.
He's only sorry because his actions had consequences.
well, that's why any body is sorry, because of consequences...
I don't believe him - he didn't want to serve the cops - that's what he said. Don't blame being tired.
Exactly.
I get tired too .... Will try that excuse next time I decide to not do my job - however, it’s a young guy that is still “developing” - I will hope this is a big opportunity for him to learn
@@billmeriwether605 Learn that cops are pigs, yes.
When folk like this feel endangered there is no lightning on 🌎 earth quicker than their greasy fingers dialing 911.
Punk, thought he would be applauded for being a jerk, I hope he thinks twice before he pulls any more stunts like that.
👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Whose going to hire that nut roll now??
"I should have never said it".
But you did.
He's not one bit sorry. He's upset he got fired for being an ass. He'd be the first one to whine about his rights if he were denied service for any reason.
The only thing he is sorry about is the fact that he got caught. Small children have the same reaction.
cops have been having a bad day everyday now for about a month
Fire Fly = Thanks to the law less socialist democrats.
Hell yes. Never could be a cop,they only deal with the worst in society. Must be very hard to deal with on a daily basis. Tell a cop thanks for the job they do and tell them to be safe. Don't be like this Richard ( dick ) for short.
That is insightful ....... and true!
Well said.
BS he is a cop hater, he is LITERALLY a cop hater and glad that he was fired on the spot. He can't pretend he doesn't dislike cops.
glad he was fired, he will probably never get a job again because employers will look at this and go like nope nope nope
Well the NFL will certainly employ him.
I've turned down police and never been fired... Hmmm I also make 20/hr
Gary Williams that adventure squad person probably works in some bitch ass snowflake liberal self hating place. People like squid and the guy in the video are why we are where we are in the country right. Ow
Most people will still hire him. Because only reason he got fired was because the crybaby policeman whined about it. Officer snowflake
@@darrellwilliams1714 exactly. he still has a duty to uphold the badge and not abuse his power given to him by THE PEOPLE who pay his salary.
Awww, he's just sorry he got caught and called out! And lost his job
Doubt he is sorry for cop-hating. Just sorry for getting his chops whacked.
YOUR FIRED!😭 GOD BLESS OUR POLICE OFFICERS!😎👍🇺🇸
Hmm, maybe the guy just got acquainted with 'accountability', and now . . .
Maybe the cop got a lesson in it too!
@@mattrussillo4587 oh damn they didn't get a slushy
HE WAS STYLING AN ESLAMIC LOOK. I NOTICE HE ALTERED HIS APPEARANCE FOR THE CAMERA.
He only apologized to do damage control! His opinion hasn’t changed! I know that working at a smoothie place must be very stressful.....😳
And he should get fired. Course he's back tracking his story after he's all over the news lol
Fire him scumbag
When you have a job you serve everyone. You are not the boss when you work at a business. You serve everyone. So many young kids think they own a place just because the manager is not there. No you do not. You serve everyone.
Yup. You do the job. And, I find it a good idea to not antagonize crazy people or people wearing sticks and guns who are prone to violence.
@@johnvanegmond1812 I will just say one thing, you are a jerk!!!!!! This world would be much worse than it is without the police!!!! I have known many police officers in my 71 years and none of them were prone to violence. You are a fool!!!!!!!!
@@robertivey3268 I am glad for you that the police officers you have known were not prone to violence.
@Gary Williams The job they chose shows they have a proclivity to violence. All laws and codes come with a implied threat of violence. If you and I do not comply, men with sticks and guns will come to take our property and/or put us in cages. They choose the job of enforcing the decrees of politicians. That's what "Law Enforcement" means.
"It was a misunderstanding."
"I didn't mean it that way."
"It was just for laughs."
I am sorry that I got called out and fired!!
"I'm not what everyone thinks I am."
You sure do look the part tho
Soy milk smoothie drinker is what he is.
We all think he's a dick.
Guess what?
We're right.
Maybe he's not everyone deserves a second chance. Doesn't change what he did.
So working at the register stressed you out enough to be totally disrespectful 🤦🏼♀️ Son, grow up!
If my boy did that I would knock him out.
@Eugene Robert's The only Kid that would shoot their parents over that is ones that were raised to be TOO STUPID TO KNOW THEY DESERVED IT.
2016: Refuses to serve cops. Loses Job.
2020: refuses to serve cops. Gets a Social Justice Medal.
...smh
fuck the police we hate them. you cop lovers are so pathetic.
He's gonna need a cop's help one day an I hope they walk away an leaving him to rot.
he shouldnt have refused them, if he didnt want to serve them he could have walked, asked for a break or something. But police still have duties to do and if they can betray you for your comments what about all of their brutality and miss use of power? Just dont say you refuse to serve any police and ask for a break instead.
Yea, he's really having a bad day now.
And many more to come!
He is a liar
And please stop calling him a man. FAR from it.
Far from it, all right. Like LIGHT YEARS away from a man!
He was having a bad day. Boohoo.
Jemase I guess the cops were too.
Alvin Hah = Hey dumbass the cops wanted service. How would you feel if they didn’t serve morons like you?
Proud of this young man for having the common sense and courage to aplogize when interviewed.
"I was tired and having a bad day. It was the end of my shift and I was just tired."
I completely understand buddy. It is so hard running a register and making food and smoothies for ppl. Probably one of the most demanding jobs a person can have. Absolutely back breaking. I remember talking to some WW2 Vets the other day and they were like," I'm so happy I was 17 and storming the beaches of Normandy watching my buddies get blown to pieces by Nazi's while I carried a heavy pack and a heavy rifle instead of working at Smoothie Cafe." I would never be able to do that job."
jstpgms Never.
H. I. McDunnough What was the point of your post? I'm not sure where WWw comes into this story.
Alvin Hah My point was that his idea of a rough day is ridiculous. He should think about what other young men have gone through before he comes up with pathetic excuses. He works at a place selling food and smoothies. Unless he gets held up at gunpoint all the time his idea of a rough day is pathetic. Some young millenials have no clue what other generations have gone through. It's sad.
H. I. McDunnough Maybe, there was something going on in his life. Maybee the cops were assholes when they came in. You did notice that the immature cop, pulled out his phone to record instead of leaving like anyone else that is refused service? .. WW2. Still has no relevance.
In all honesty, we should all be ashamed that this made the news. On top of that, people are all in their feelings for one side or the; without all the information.
“I think he’s a bonehead.” Nailed it.
Hope he is having a even worse day now that he has been fired.
lol, didn’t get the support from all these “protesters” he was hoping for.
Anyone saying this kid is ok for doing this has a rude awakening coming someday. I'm amazed at their disrespect and lack of knowledge of facts. Your little bubbles will BURST one day!!! 😂
"They would have taken a bullet for him" and he cant just serve em some drinks??
He's only sorry that he got fired.
It would be such sweet justice if the cops could refuse to serve him in return......but they won't, because that's the job they sign up to do.
Yeah, when you're tired and frustrated you tend to speak your true mind. Kid hates cops.
JUSTIFIED... firing of employee.... justice is served.
"having a bad day" yet made the adult decision not to serve them. Mmmm hmmm...put that on a resume Mr. Wonderful.
It's not a government or city owned/operated business. Legally he can refuse the right to serve anyone he chooses!
& legally he can be fired ....
@@karlbenz5636 Maybe...depends on company policy. I once saw a guy get fired for wearing the wrong color of shoes to work! Small independent businesses not likely, larger chains or fortune 500 definitely! Cops were probably expecting a free handout! Money discrimination should be a crime! Blue Lives money spends the same as Black Lives money!
poor dear was tired and in a bad mood add now broke. hope he NEVER NEEDS A COP.
He's at the street corner " I WON'T , WON'T … WORK FOR FOOD
Incompetence breeds more incompetence
living with mommie and daddie
He's young, made a mistake, got fired, apologized, and hopefully learned a lesson. Nobody was hurt, everyone get over it and move on, no need to "cancel" him or pile on
He got what he deserved he meant to disrespect the cops no don't forget it and move on because trash like that has dummies like you helping him to continue to do such arrogant things
Well, it really wasn’t a misunderstanding, or a bad day. He is exactly what he demonstrated.
Only thing that slime is sorry for is getting caught.
I've refused to serve plenty of cops my favorite was when an on duty cop thought someone spit on his food so he asked for the manager and the only manager who was there was only 18 so he asked for an actual manager, when told she was the only manager he walked in and around the counter to the manager's office in the back and ended up getting dragged out by other cops
That kind of behavior is unacceptable. If you are going to refuse service to someone, you'd better have a good, viable reason. Being a police officer is *not* a good and/or viable reason. I don't see what else the business in question could have done. It is unfortunate when anyone gets fired, but there was definitely good cause for termination of employment.
Refuse service to anyone for any reason.
Isn't it funny how they're always "sorry" after they get fired?
He was having a bad day 🤔. ”You're a cop hater.. ”.. 🙄
He thought he would be a hero. Instead he got fired.
Changing your story snowflake?
Yeah and he’ll be the first one to call the cops if he needs them
Thats millennium for you. Stupid loud mouth dont think before open their mouths.
If you didn't mean it, you wouldn't have said it. Thank you ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT for having our backs. We should start having yours as well.🇺🇸
Hes not sorry. He probably rooted and protested against the cops.
Fake apologizes, you deserve to be fired
Somebody should go Rob his house and we he calls the police, they should refuse and then call it a misunderstanding after all his stuff gets sold on Craigslist.
Your wrong to say there's nothing you can do but apologize. However, you did lose your job and that's hard enough punishment. Good luck young man
When you get caught you always back up but we know what is in his heart. Tired yes but that means he wasn't strong enough to hide his hatred.
You know what they say - when you are drunk, or tired...your true feelings come out.
I'm sorry I got caught.
He apologized and that’s a good thing!
Bet you would of served him if a crowd was trashing your house and you had to call 911 to be rescued.
Having a bad day gives you no excuse whatsoever to treat anyone that way, especially Police! Good luck finding a job anywhere they respect Police!
You won't be respecting cops if/when they come for law-abiding American's guns. Yeah, you probably didn't think about that. Most conservatives don't.
They're always "sorry" after they get caught.
He said it, he meant it. Now he can put this on his resume.
I think the parent EXPLAINED it to him..!!
Good for this business! I wish more cities businesses and people would stand up for good police like this.Well done.
Only sorry because it cost him a job. If his boss had backed him, he wouldn't be sorry.
Having a bad day doesn't excuse what he said
Don’t be.
Actions speak louder than words. Sometimes you gotta think with your brain before you open your mouth.
Oh...the poor kid was having a bad day and tired of working. Well, welcome to adult world. ..
Officer KAREN!
YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!
He claims he was having a bad day. That shouldn’t matter, you are paid to do a job. If you aren’t feeling like you can do that job because of a bad day, leave work early or don’t show up at all. A bad day should not effect your work performance, that includes how you treat customers. It shouldn’t matter if he wants to refuse copes, they are paying customers. He doesn’t own the business so he has no right to refuse someone unless the owners have specified to do so.
Tired is not an excuse,being fired is exactly the punishment this clown deserves.
He’s very lucky, because the other side (his side),would completely destroy his life.
Hurray principals, do not ask for forgiveness you are my hero!
He said he was wrong, he said sorry, let it go.
So you're not sorry, you're just sorry you got caught
Well you have to give a tiny bit of respect to him for at the very least making a very calm apology
Saddest part is that the job he was fired from will be the best one he'll ever have.
