Waffle House Responds After Employee Refused Service To 4 Uniformed Officers
by HollyMatkinWaffle House corporate headquarters has responded after an employee refused to serve four police officers.
Jennings, LA – Waffle House’s corporate headquarters has issued an apology after four Jennings police officers were denied service at one of their restaurants on Saturday morning.
“It’s sad when 4 police officers are refused service at Waffle House in Jennings…for the simple fact we are police officers,” Jennings Police Officer Ryan Courville said in a Facebook post. “Corporate was called. Just thought I’d share.”
Jennings Police Chief Danny Semmes said he received a call from the Waffle House regional manager shortly after the incident occurred, and that he was “assured the situation would be handled appropriately,” according to his Facebook post.
Chief Semmes added that the regional manager told him that officers “are always welcome at Waffle House.”
Officer Courville agreed that the management team was “extremely helpful and apologetic” in the wake of the incident, according to a later Facebook post.
“Just wanted to clear up that it is not Waffle House or a management problem, but in fact an issue with one employee,” Officer Courville added. “I am by no means bad mouthing the entirety of the business.”
Waffle House’s corporate headquarters also released a statement regarding the refusal of service.
“Our management team has reached out to Chief Semmes and apologized for the incident,” the company said in a statement to KPLC. “We are conducting a full review, and once we get all the facts we will take appropriate action quickly.”
“Our goal is for every customer to have an enjoyable experience,” the corporate office continued. “If we do not deliver on that promise, we work hard to rebuild the customer’s trust.”
Chief Semmes said that the situation was regrettable, but that he hoped everyone could “move forward together.”

Jul 17, 2018 You may be 34 chronologically, but mentally you're not much older than a 10-year-old. You really think I stand toe to toe with punks like you? I take care of business anyway I see fit. I must really be getting to you and I'm glad, experience counts clown and you have little to none from what I see. Anyway, enough of this childish talk you love so much. Time to move on to important matters that concerns us adults. Do us all a favor and grow the hell up.

Jul 17, 2018 I don't support any white nationalist movement and the neo-Nazi's are a deplorable group. You on the other hand have come out on this website and publicly supported anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. Here are a story about Farrakhan that support my contention he is no different than a member of the KKK. Sadly you admire him which shows the kind of person you are. Tell me, do you wear a robe with a hood to cover your face?- http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/farrakhans-call-to-kill-white-cops-is-it-legal/
