Workers at Irondale Location of Krystal Restaurant Reportedly Refuse to Serve Uniformed Police Officer
|Updated:

A uniformed police officer in Alabama says he was denied service at a fast food restaurant.

Pedro Urresta says he waited for more than 20 minutes to get his food, but it still never came.

“It’s a shame that police officers that protect and serve their communities are denied service. After waiting in the drive thru in his patrol car they never acknowledged my husbands order,” Pedro’s wife Brittany wrote on Facebook.

“He went inside in his uniform and every worker walked away from the counter to the back of the store. #‎backtheblue.”

Krystal officials investigated the claim, and said that workers did indeed stiff Urresta—but he was not specifically targeted.
