Five Guys Employees Fired, Suspended After Refusing Service To Alabama Police Officers
Five Guys employees have been fired or suspended after refusing service to a group of Alabama police officers. The incident occurred at a restaurant in Daphne earlier this week, and was confirmed in a Facebook post by the company.
Officers visiting the location claim upon entering the restaurant a group of employees turned their backs to deny service, with one of them saying, “I’m not serving them.” Subsequently, the restaurant confirmed the termination of the employees, noting they’d temporarily shut down for service training.
