A manager and clerk at an Arby's were fired after the clerk told a police officer they would not serve him because he was a police officer. Competitors capitalized on the situation. The manager argued they did not actually hate police and the clerk was just joking and trying to move customers through quickly. Questions are raised about whether this would be justified if it was not a police officer, if they were really joking, and if Arby's as a whole will suffer from this one incident.
