A Taco Bell handed over two tacos with the word "PIG" written on the packaging. I thought perhaps the word was indication of it being a pork taco.
However, once I saw who the recipient was, I realized it had a much more sinister meeting. The tacos were handed to an officer from the Newton, Kansas police department and his fiancee.
"I was told I could bring the 5 tacos back and she would have them remade," the couple told KAKE. "I advised her that we were both working and that wasn't an option. She then said she would leave a note to refund our money and get the food remade."
While cops may get a bad rep, not all of them are a bad; recently, instead of writing a ticket, an officer spent time consoling a woman who was speeding because of a death in the family.
The employee has since been fired. Meanwhile, Taco Bell released a statement in solidarity with the police force.
"We do not share the same belief or view as the employee whatsoever,” said Jeff Graves, senior director of operations for Taco Bell. “Our company, Taco Bell, has always been pro-law enforcement, military. We’ve always supported the police in our community. Many of our restaurants give police discounts when they come in and eat.”
See how the police department reacted and SHARE if you think this employee's behavior was rude and uncalled for.
A couple, one a member of the law enforcement, received two tacos labelled "PIG" from Taco Bell.
While many were outraged, the Newton Police Department responded with integrity.
SHARE if you think the police department handled this gracefully.
