Minneapolis, specifically a Middle Eastern restaurant called Wally’s in Dinkytown, that's where this happened. Now I’m 19, I’m a server in this restaurant, and I’m familiar with this group of police officers that comes in to buy their lunches. They’re never really kind when they order, and I’ve never really had good feelings about them when they’re in the building. 

So about 4 weeks ago, 3 of them came in and ordered some sandwiches to go then sat down and waited. As they were waiting, one of the officers got an alert and immediately rushed to the counter and demanded he got his gyro in that “police voice” cause he NEEDED to go. After I told him it would be about another minute, he started getting really riled up and ticked off, asking me if I could hurry up. So I told him I would go and check (even though I knew it would be another minute) and I decided to just stay in the back till the sandwich was done cause I was not about to approach him empty handed. When the cooks finished up I brought the sandwich out and gave it to him and he left in a flurry. 

OKAY MR. POLICE OFFICER, I understand you need to go, and I understand that you think your protecting the city, but if it’s really that urgent you could just leave your fucking gyro, cause if someone is really in danger, that might trump your sandwich. Also, there is a time to use that “police voice” and a time not to use that voice, and there is a time to be calm and a time to get intense. As a police officer, you should know that using your “police voice” and getting intense while speaking to a server to hurry up with your food is not going to help the situation, and is only going to make matters worse. 

Then today, one of the police officers just cut in line and the lady behind him was so sweet about it and was like, “Oh yea that’s okay” and I was like ??? Then he ordered and acted as if nothing was wrong? Okay, I shit you not, the entire time I’ve worked there, nobody has ever cut in line intentionally like he did, and he WASN’T EVEN IN A RUSH! He stayed and ate in the restaurant for another half an hour or more!
