McDonald’s is investigating an incident at a Virginia franchise where an employee allegedly refused to serve a uniformed police officer. According to Cathy Naff, her husband, Scott, a law enforcement officer, experienced the incident after a 13-hour shift. Cathy detailed the event in a viral Facebook post, explaining that her husband visited the drive-thru at a McDonald’s on Parham Road and Route 1.
After paying for his meal, the employee at the pick-up window reportedly mouthed words through the glass before opening it to say, “I ain’t serving no police,” and walked away. Other staff hesitated, unsure how to proceed, until one employee silently handed Scott his food. A customer at the scene confirmed the worker’s refusal to serve police, adding that the manager took no action.
McDonald’s issued a statement affirming their commitment to serving all customers, including law enforcement, and launched an investigation. Cathy later reported the employee was fired, but concerns remain over similar incidents at the location.
