so is the solution is giving shake shack employees qualified immunity?

"Shake Shack should rightly sue the police for damages"

Seriously. Us ordinary humans could get a whole heap of shit for denying a corporation even one of its precious dollars. I mean, I am 100% CERTAIN my Micky D's tried to poison me with a smoothie that tasted like a frappuccino. They KNOW I have a caffine intolerance. But I can't tell you that because I might get sued, right?

I'm sure the NYPD would retaliate if shake shack sued. they've proven over and over that they would. next time there's a 911 call from a shake shack, they'll take their time responding

You just invented a new drink! The Placebo! Delicious! I want one!

I once actually saved a customer from something icky. I noticed a cricket leg in their daiquiri so I brought it back to the bar tender. She removed it with a stir. I said, "No, no, where is the rest of the cricket?!?" She rolled her eyes and began making a new one - in the same blender pitcher she mad that one. I made her get a new one. Later she "accidentally" sloshed a bit of hot coffee on me. The customer did not tip well and they will never know.

"These are the same people who demand the public not jump to conclusions when a video is released of cops flamenco dancing on a legless black man's spine."

IOKIYAC(op), apparently.

But it would supply an amusing intro for a show about cops.

you have to know that if you're a cop right now, any time you go get food in uniform, it's pretty much guaranteed that at least one person involved in preparing that food for you has spit in it. enjoy your meal sir

Today an off-duty LAPD officer supposedly found a tampon in a frappucino after going to a Starbucks in Diamond Bar, a suburb of LA. They claim they paid with their police credit union card and that's how the barista knew. Sounds like more b.s. to me. When would a barista have time to do that without being seen? And typically, the person operating the register isn't the same person making the drink and they don't see or touch your card anyway.
