August 25, 201610 yr If anyone is going to boycott we need to add KFC and Pizza Hut to the list. I rarely eat at any of those places but put me with a couple of others, if they keep those employees any Yum owned business will be a last resort only for me. That logic is kinda dumb honestly. Most of these places are franchise owned not corporate owned. Yum has very little direct involvement. I get it that their name is on the door but, that's like blaming Budweiser for every DUI that happens.
August 25, 201610 yr Of course not. Cops always lie or embellish the truth. I don't even think the cops lied or embellished anything. I think the FOP spokesperson took what they said and built it up. I think he Lochted it.
August 25, 201610 yr Yet you feel retraining is a lackluster response. You've decided ebough wasn't done. You are here arguing that point. Wrong again...you are making inferences that don't exist, whatsoever. No where did I ever say that "retraining is a lackluster response". I haven't decided anything and I have not argued that point anywhere... I pointed out that the story is out, all sides, and the results are in....everyone gets to form their own opinion. Based on the report, this happened and the resultant responses as well. "Everyone owned their share of the issue."
August 25, 201610 yr On the other hand, you can't fire them without proof they did what they are accused of. In KY unless they are in a protected class you can fire them for any reason, or no reason.
August 25, 201610 yr In KY unless they are in a protected class you can fire them for any reason, or no reason. Technically, but how wise is that?

You are correct, you didn't say or allude to that. FWIW, I do not have a beef with the police or FOP. I have a beef with the FOP spokesperson.
August 25, 201610 yr Not sure I understand what you're asking. If an employee didn't actually so something that violated their policies, firing them without due process can be a headache, and an expensive one. That's why everywhere I've ever worked employes a progressive diciplinary policy, and documentation is key. And it's a key reason I think that the incident was not acurarely portrayed by the spokesperson.

And you know what, you protest your way and I will protest my way.
August 25, 201610 yr Sounds like to me it wasn't a whole lot that could be embellished, it was a pretty simple event from the sounds of it. So for right now I will take what the article describes as a fairly accurate description of the event. Kid walks away from the register...he isn't going to serve cops for whatever (likely twisted) reason. Ok. Fireable offense if it's my store? Probably. I sure would want to get his reasoning of why he did that though cause I'd really like to know his thought process. What I can't believe many aren't pointing out are the kids in the kitchen saying they are going to "mess" with the cops. They are making the food. What do you think they meant by that? Stand back and make piggy faces at the cops from behind the counter? Sure.:sarcastic: More likely, those kids were quite possibly planning to put something in the cops' food. Spit in their drink...wipe a boggie on their taco. Heck, maybe one of them drops pants and leaves a "dookie swirly" in one of their burritos. And lets me honest, it's Taco Bell...it might take a little bit for one of them to notice that. Point is though, you want to retrain someone who quite possibly was going to taint food, just for the simple fact that the customers were policeman? God forbid someone walk in with a hated rival high school tee shirt on...who knows what those kids might put in those customers food. Point is there is no level of retraining for someone with that mindset. Sure they might grow up eventually and realize what a complete idiot they were, but AT A MINIMUM I'm not risking having those kids prepare food for me at my store, they be gone.
August 25, 201610 yr In KY unless they are in a protected class you can fire them for any reason, or no reason. Exactly. Good reason, bad reason or no reason at all.
August 25, 201610 yr I genuinely love this site. I've read all 88 posts and smirked, laughed, winced, rolled my eyes, shook my head, and uttered one "are you kidding me". Where else can I do all of that in 5 minutes? #VivaLaBGP
