A group of Five Guys employees were fired or suspended this week after refusing to serve police officers.
The incident happened in Daphne, Alabama, on Tuesday night when three officers entered the restaurant, according to WHNT 19 News, which noted the employees then allegedly turned their backs.
Police told the outlet that six or seven employees were involved, and one of them said, “I’m not serving them.” The police officers left and went to another restaurant.
The restaurant posted a message on Facebook saying that the actions it has taken include "termination and suspension of the employees involved."
The franchise will temporarily close so that employees can receive “customer service training” with a representative from the Daphne Police Department, the statement added. Customers were also assured that those employees “do not represent Five Guys or the local franchise."
