The police are men and women who put in a lot of effort to ensure that our society is
safe and governed by the law.Many believe they are underpaid,
even though their job is among the most difficult and significant in our nation.
This is something that the Gallipolis, Ohio, KFC wanted to draw attention to and emphasize.
A few people have expressed disapproval of the branch owner’s decision to post a self-printed notice on the restaurant’s front entrance.
The sign above reads, “Everyday all day, all uniformed police officers eat free.”
It was obvious that the restaurant wanted to express their appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the local police officers.
One cannot win over everyone.
It appears that the sign has not delighted everyone.
Some believe that ambulance drivers, medical personnel, and other emergency services employees should receive
the same preferential treatment as police officers, and that it is unfair for police officers to be the only ones receiving it.
One policeman was compelled to respond after hearing so many disparaging remarks:
Although some of you are unable to see the wider picture, this is a positive topic.
Whether I’m in uniform or not, as an officer, I never go into a business expecting or desiring to get anything for free,
much less a discount, and I can assure you that other officers share my sentiments. We object to “special treatment.”
