WOW! Crying Cop Mocked & Loved Over McMuffingate, Aunt Jemima Cancelled, & China vs India Escalation Bat: On defending that officer, all officers are trained that every person could be a potential threat and every pocket could have a gun in it. It appeared that she wanted her order to be anonymous to avoid any issues with either customers or staff. Officers are also trained to observe the food they order due to not knowing if anything is put on their food. Due to the delay in food, she probably was worried that the workers now saw she was an officer and now she can no longer be anonymous in making her order. I have friends that are officers and they had to do this as well in the past. For her wanting a day off, some departments have not allowed officers to take days off due to what is currently happening. Several friends and family are officers and have been denied their regularly scheduled days off and were forced in to overtime positions

Regarding the female officer, a lot of people are laughing at her behaviour. And yeah it is excessive for the moment, but obviously this goes way beyond the camera. White officers do not face systemic racism, like minorities have to, but they do face discrimination and stereotyping which cause excess stress. Officers regularly get glorified by some, and harassed, verbally assaulted (not including critique, calling out bad behaviour, and calls for change/reform, and more by others. And they have to always be the bigger person and take it on the chin, because that is their job to do. None of that is new news.
With recent events in the states however, the real level of discrimination and negative experiences is increasing for officers (I shouldn't have to say this, but to clarify, this doesn't mean that police individuals or their stations are entirely innocent, and the PERCEIVED discrimination is increasing much higher.
Now let's go into her shoes. For the past month she's probably faced a lot of harassment and abuse by (rightfully) angry people who take it out on her, she hears stories of other police officers, some even being doxed and their families threatened, these officers feel even less safe in a growingly hostile atmosphere, and all of that leads to acute stress overlapping with long term stress, and this poor lady is burnt out. It just takes one McMuffin to be late and enough time sitting there recalling horror stories of spat in or otherwise tampered food for her to just leave. Based on her subjective environment, and putting myself in a similar situation, I see absolutely no fault or reduculousness in her action. I would have driven off as well.
But likewise, obviously her acute stress has gotten out of hand, and she needs to have leave for the time being.

I work at a fast food industry and mobile orders honestly make the regular drive thru process very difficult. The order you have placed on the app will appear once you have pulled up to the speaker and given your name, we then go thru a list of names and pull up your order. This is difficult on the people making sandwiches because we make the food as people are ordering it, when they have a mobile order it can mess up the whole sequence because now we have an order that wasn't started being put together yet and is now waiting while our drive thru taker is working on the next order which we can't really begin to put together until we get the first one out. Chances are they ran out of product and had to cook/fry whatever was needed (due to miscommunication, common at my job) and then the girl who passed out the coffee probably was never told by anyone that she was waiting on other items. This is a pretty common occurrence for anyone working fast food. Might not of been the case, there's always a chance she was right to be so anxious but the police officer is obviously stressed out, overtired and hungry which would explain a lot of her anxiety and distrust shes having just trying to get food.

As a person with mental health issues I have sympathy for the cop. I've been paranoid I /get/ that feeling, but what I think is important to recognize is it's a sign of mental illness, not anything else. That is something I have dealt with at McDonald's before, it's pretty normal, and if you're panicking that it could be sabotaged, that's not a healthy response. And I understand that those /feelings/ are valid, but that doesn't make them rational. I 100% am with Phil about her getting time off, I was a danger with only my regular kitchen tools at my lowest point, people with that level of anxiety/paranoia should not have access to deadly weapons.
Also the blow over stuff really hit me the wrong way. This, this dynamic this animosity cannot blow over, something needs to change, and if you can't see that, then I don't trust you not to be part of the problem.
I don't want to be mean, I don't want to make fun, especially when that paranoia is intimately familiar to me. But I'm tired of people dying, I'm tired of the us and them, I'm tired of being scared of the people who are supposed to protect and serve, and the solution isn't to be nice to cops it's fix the system.

Been watching you for a long time now.
But when did you become such an insensitive prick?
I don't like white knighting, because I'm pretty far from that, but you really are being a condescending jerk right now.
Her problem isn't that they were late, it is that they had no problem until they saw what she was, then suddenly they did have a problem and now she's concerned because she wasn't able to watch them make her food.
Spoiler alert: people mess with cops, first responders, and even soldiers food.
Granted, not often on the last two out of the three, but you never know what goes through someone's mind when they decide to screw with your food.
I've had many friends who were police and mp's who straight refuse to eat anywhere they're not able to watch their food prepared.
So, having said that, I really do respect you, and everything you, and your team do, but man. you really need to be checked on your attitude.
Hope this happens to you sometime so you can get a taste of it for yourself.
Stay classy.

Of course I feel bad for the officer, this clearly isn't about the McDonalds - it was just the straw that broke the camels back. I agree though, if she's in this sort of mental state she shouldn't be policing until she can get herself in check.
I don't think mocking her is particularly fair, she is clearly having some kind of mental breakdown and I imagine being an officer in the states right now is ridiculously high pressure so it doesn't surprise me that one could have a reaction like this.
And before I start getting screamed at, I am obviously for the BLM movement and it is horrendous seeing what some of your police are doing to innocent people. Clearly something has to be done, I've said this about American police for years. However, that doesn't mean every single cop is a bad person and I don't believe a bad person would be reacting in the way she did, so yes, I have sympathy.
Maybe I'm wrong and she's a terrible human being, but I'd rather see some evidence than jump to conclusions

I understand the anxiety the Stacey cop is feeling but that looming threat she feels is also fed by racism. This idea that the black community is especially violent and that someone who is anti-police is necessarily pro-criminal are both flawed ideas. Someone can be strongly on the side of abolish or defund the police but that in NO WAY means they would be willing to intentionally harm someone in a police uniform. Because the ultimate goal is to dismantle the system that is oppressive, not to harm the individuals within that system. Members of the black community, like other oppressed minorities, know all too well being swept up into one category and being judged by the greater generalisation rather than on their own merits. I honestly believe the amount of active harm being done to police is probably the same as before the protests and probably has more to do with individuals resisting authority (such as rebellious teenagers) than anything to do with anti-police-brutality supporters.

She's crying because she feels as though in the current political and social climate she is a target, so this has nothing to do with mc donalds, its got to do with not knowing who is targeting you, or where its coming from, for no other reason than the color of your uniform.
She's enjoyed a privileged and lauded position in society for as long as she can remember, and now she gets suspicious glances and hateful stares instead of kids clamoring to say hi, telling her they want to be like her when they grow up, and people thanking her for her service.
This is completely understandable reaction for someone who went from privileged status in most of society to maligned and labelled the enemy, even though she herself might never have done a single thing to harm a citizen.
She understands now what its like to live in fear. Hopefully she can take this experience, and connect it to how some minorities have felt around authorities for a long time.

I am able to sympathize with this officer, but to an extend. I am not American, I'm from Curacao, where the majority is black/brown but I have lived in the USA from 2013 - 2018. I can understand what she is going through, being scared of what might happen to her by just ordering something at Mc Donalds. But if she is reading this, I would like her to reflect on this anxiety because this is something I for those 6 years (to this day, back in my own country) and many other black/brown was feeling on a daily, to the point, it becomes the norm to look over your shoulder, it becomes the norm to be hyper-aware of what you wear, it becomes the norm to change your speech pattern while talking to white people, it becomes the norm for fearing your life when you have a broken taillight, it becomes the norm not to ride in a car as a group of black/brown with one of the group member is white. So again I understand her anxiety, but I hope she understands ours

mkay, i work at starbucks, and while working drive-thru yesterday, i had a lady complain about waiting in the line for about twenty minutes as if there was anything that i could do about it. i apologized and offered ordering on the mobile app, but even then, there will still be a wait. we are constantly slammed. the line for the drive-thru is always backed out to the road, and there is always a line inside as well. if you do not want to wait, then don't come. it's that simple, really.
and you know what, i don't hear thank you enough either. none of us do. get in line. i get that you have a tough job, but you actively chose to be an officer. if you are too nervous to get your order at a fast food restaurant right now, then don't go. don't order. eat in the comfort of your own home. it's not worth the stress and anxiety, honey. i understand the fear, but i also don't have much sympathy. maybe i'm an asshole, i don't know.
