TGI Fridays Kicks Policemen Out Of Restaurant For THIS Ridiculous Reason Were not surprised that T.G.I. Fridays is in the middle of some serious backlash after a manager in Franklin, Tennessee made the decision to deny uniformed Department of Corrections parole officers service. Why? They were armed, of course. According to Johnny Crumby, the president of the Tennessee Fraternal Order of Police, the officers were on active duty at the time. If somebody comes in while someone is on their lunch break, they are not off-duty, Crumby explained to reporters. They are still an officer. They will respond to whatever occurs. Of course, when Americans got a hold of the storythey took to social media to express their outrage, and call for a boycott of the chain. Thanks to your treatment of police officers @ your Franklin, TN loc, Ive had my last mediocre meal at any of your restaurants, Adrain B. wrote on Twitter. The company was quick to release the following statement, and offer the officers a free lunch: The incident at our Franklin, Tennessee, restaurant was caused by a managers misunderstanding of our company gun policy, and that manager has since been coached on the policy and now knows that police officers are always allowed to carry guns in our restaurants, whether they are in uniform or not. What do you think? Is T.G.I. Fridays apology enough?
