Had to run down to Baton Rouge this am to get some things done, finished and stopped for a late breakfast at favorite family place called Franks.

Walking in to be seated I passed by young 2 Sheriffs deputies who were having their coffee waiting on their meal.

I sat down and the waitress came and I ordered then told her to bring me the deputies’ bill and don’t say anything.

She smiled and told me that there were 3 different people already ahead of me on that and that I’d be number 4 with that offer. She went on to say that she’d tell them that 4 different folks wanted to pay their breakfast bill.

I thought that was pretty cool.

Good of you to offer to pick up their tab.

There's still plenty of good folk out there, they're just not the type that go tell the whole world what they do on FB/SM.
Good on ya
Thank you Sir
I've yet to see an officer in uniform ever get a bill in a restaurant. Never really could figure that one out.

I know a few in LE....super tightwads LOL.
Aint gonna help em out w freebies.
Hell one actually told a restaurant owner yrs ago ( cop has long since retired )....no freebies or discount, slow to respond.

I got a first responder family member that doesnt park in special place or use offered discounts. And they low pay.

Prefer to just do their friggin job.

That's more than pretty cool... It's really, really cool. Good for you for trying, though. I would have done the same thing.

Witnessed this a few times around here after Desert Storm and OIF 1,2. Young joes gettin a burger. Real joes. Killers.

One fella beat me to it


Hate to sound callous but I wouldn’t do it for a 300 lb Guardsman or a sheriff’s deputy. They all dickheads around here.

We had a similar experience last month at a local restaurant. We tried to pay for 3 men in army uniforms and discovered that another diner wanted to do the same. We ended up sharing the cost of the soldiers tab.

Heh. It’s okay, rick !!

Another:
While passing through the DFW airport during the last desert storm there were 6 or 7 families of soldiers that had pulled tables together in the TGIF restaurant, probably 30 or so adults and children.

As they were trying to sort out the bill the waitress told them that it was all taken care of by the man who had just left with the straw cowboy hat on and she further said that he had even included her tip.

You could have heard a pin drop in the restaurant.

As another said there’s the quiet ones out there.
One reason I cut the Texans a lot of slack on here, in 1964 I was at Fort Wolters in the 864 th Engrs, and when I would go in to Mineral Wells to have a treat at one of the cafe's...folks would try to pay for it. Anti war sentiment was already showing itself in other places back then...not in Texas. Quite a contrast with the greeting we got at Travis AFB Calif. when we came home a couple years later.

Old Toot fits into zero old heroic dude categories.

Sorry old chap

At DFW no matter what your seating status is all uniformed military board first.

I hate to break it to you guys but there’s a very real chance they don’t want you paying the bill and there’s and an even bigger chance they never had a bill to begin with.
Posted By: Remsen Re: Faith in your fellow man - 06/18/21
At first, I was going to say that this proves Mr. Toot isn't a Jew. Then I realized that the story had a happy ending (from our perspective) and he didn't have to reach into his wallet.

There's a couple of local restaurants that offer freebies to LEOs. The restaurant does a lot of business and considers the free meal as a security measure so they don't need to hire a guard. If police are in and out a lot, the riff raff who just gambled away their child's fraudulent credit card might rob another place.
The funny thing is that guess who I know got the freebie meals, a tax payer payment at work AND sent in their children's credit card applications? Lol.

You alright in my book toot. You ever around Lafayette lemme know. I’ll make a fresh pot-o-coffee or ice a few down.

That's a nice offer.
It makes me wonder if there's a policy about accepting gifts while on duty.

Thats nobody’s buisness……that is between the establishment and the patrons. None of anyone else’s buisness, Not the gubment nor the officers. Dont try to play that bull——. Everyone know that they cant. It would be considered a bribe. Shush boy. Mind your manners

We’ll have to do that B78.

The young ones do eat best.

Very nice!

I've done that when I had the opportunity and no one has ever said anything about it being improper. They don't know me and I don't know them. What would they report--Some old gimpy guy bought their lunch.

the left would ascribe it to something nefarious... I like knowing that the law and order crowd are stepping up.
