Dunkin Donuts finally does right by cops

Gives in to NYC police boycott

It’s OK to patronize Dunkin’ Donuts again: The chain has finally apologized for the treatment of two NYPD officers in July, with an open letter published as a full-page ad in The Chief-Leader, the city weekly.

Back then, the company refused to condemn the worker at a Brooklyn store who turned the officers away, saying “I don’t serve cops.”
That prompted the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association to announce a boycott.

Now Dunkin’ executive Robert Wiggins has done right.
His letter admits the incident “did not meet our standards of service, nor did it fulfill our promise to treat every guest with the utmost respect.
Dunkin’ Donuts and its franchises deeply value the public service that police officers and detectives provide to the neighborhoods we serve, especially in the New York City area.”

Maybe it simply took that long for the corporate bureaucracy to grow a spine; maybe enough cop-supporting citizens backed the boycott to dent Dunkin’ sales — or maybe all those tales of police and donuts are true, and officers alone made the difference.

DEA chief Michael Palladino accepted the apology, even graciously noting “the longstanding support and commitment Dunkin’ Donuts has forged throughout the country with the law-enforcement community.”

2. That is nuts.

When I was nineteen and in college I worked the 3:00 - 11:00 shift as a hotel desk clerk in a rather high-crime area of Memphis. The cops of the West Precinct were always stopping by to visit (and flirt) and I loved having those cars out front. We gave them free food in the restaurant. Even those nights when they were too busy to stop, they'd still drive by out front very slowly and shine their light my way until I gave then a thumbs up. I knew all of their names and all about their families. For the most part they were great guys.
