Veteran Denied Service At IHOP For This SICKENING Reason According to recent reports, a police officer and his family were denied service at an IHOP because the hostess claimed that we dont serve your kind. The officer walked into the family restaurant in his uniform, and his nephew later shared on Facebook about the incident, writing: My uncle, who is VBPD, after a long, 12-hour shift, walked into IHOP located at Fordham Drive in Virginia Beach. He was in full uniform. While waiting to be seated, the manger/hostess told him, We dont serve your kind. He simply walked out. This is also a 20 year retired Navy, who served his country, then joined the police department to serve his community. After the message was posted on Rocco Griecos Facebook, the local community sprung to the defense of his uncle, attacking IHOP for the incident. An IHOP spokesperson claimed that the hostess was pretending that the restaurant was closed at 5:30 AM. They went on to claim that the establishment actually loves police officers and offers them a discount if they eat in uniform. It is a misunderstanding, spokesperson Craig Hoffman claimed. While we dont call into question the veracity of the officer, the team member in question claims that is not what happened, and, unfortunately, she was trying to make a lame joke that the restaurant was not openwhen it obviously was. While I can understand his interpreting that as being unwelcome, that is not what was meant. It is not appropriate for her to have said that. She has apologized, the franchisee has reached out to the officer. What do you think of the incident?
