BUT THE MANAGER ON DUTY SAYS THIS IS ALL ONE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.  Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter 
 
 PEMBROKE PINES (CBSMiami) – Is it an example of a diminished respect for police or a poor attempt at humor? That’s when the officer said she was unsure about the condition of her food, decided not to eat there and asked for a refund, the report states. THEY HATE COPS TRENCH THE BOYCOTT OF A POPULAR FAST FOOD CHAIN HAS ALREADY STARTED AT THIS PEMBROKE PINES ARBY'S. We still want to have a conversation about this and make sure this is something that is not gonna happen again at Arby's. We’re just trying to get people out of the drive thru.” 
 
 According to a police report on the incident, the police officer was told by the manager, “(Davenport) doesn’t want to serve you because you are a police officer.” 
 
 After that, the officer said she wasn’t certain she wanted to dine at the restaurant but the manager assured her everything was okay and handed the officer the food, according to the report. "All I want to do is clear his name and to get an apology in paper that he did not cause this problem." ANOTHER ONE WRITING, I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER EAT THERE AGAIN. The incident is considered to be isolated. Terrell: AND PBA NOW WANTS A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER INSTEAD OF THE ONE GIVEN TO JUST THE CHIEF OF THE PEMBROKE PINES POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO GOT ONE TODAY FROM THE CEO OF ARBY'S. Pembroke Pines police spokeswoman Amanda Conwell said a uniformed officer was denied service Tuesday night at the Arby's on Pines Boulevard. He said it was because he was so busy with other customers that he had to ask his manager for help. "I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner," Police Chief Dan Giustino said in a news release. "It is unacceptable, and I will be contacting the Arby's CEO to demand an apology." She said Arby's CEO Paul Brown and senior vice president of operations Scott Boatwright assured Giustino that the employee's behavior was "unacceptable and not representative of the company's values." "Chief Giustino was appreciative and accepted their apology and now considers this matter closed," Conwell said. Jennifer Martin, the officer ordered her food in the drive-through of the restaurant and drove to the window to pay. In this case, after the clerk refused to serve the officer, the manager came up to the window laughing and said that the clerk had the right to refuse service to the officer. According to the report, Mirabal assured Martin that everything was OK, handed her the food and laughed while telling her that Davenport was allowed to refuse her service. Conwell said the incident happened on the same evening that a woman and her daughter visited the Pembroke Pines Police Department to drop off cookies and a "thank you" card. “We are very proud of the partnerships we have built within our city, and for an incident like this to have happened is very disappointing for everyone,” said Chief Giustino. When she finally received her order, she didn't feel comfortable eating it, so she left it behind. Despite employees claiming to be unaware of the incident, a group of police officers' wives held a protest outside of the restaurant Wednesday. Until corrective action is taken and the employees involved in this incident are terminated, we are calling for a national boycott of Arby’s,” said Florida and Dade County PBA president John Rivera. So far, no officers are taking them up on the deal at the Pembroke Pines shop, at at 11755 Pines Blvd., where this all began when a pair of employees at first refused to serve a Pembroke Pines Police sergeant. Thomas McCutcheon, the grandfather of Kenneth Davenport, the clerk who was suspended Thursday, spoke about his future with the fast food restaurant. McCutcheon said he is worried that the incident will affect his grandson's chance of finding another job in the future. That’s the question after a Pembroke Pines Police Officer alleged that an Arby’s employee refused to serve her because she’s a cop.
– The incident that caused a Florida police union to call for a boycott of Arby's was just a manager's bad joke, says the now-suspended employee involved—but he doesn't expect anybody to believe him because he's a black teenager and it's his word against that of a police officer. Kenny Davenport tells CBS Miami that he told Pembroke Pines Police Sgt. Jennifer Martin that he couldn't serve her not because she was a cop, but because the drive-thru was so busy he had to ask his manager for help. The 19-year-old says the manager then made the bad joke about Davenport not wanting to serve Martin because she was a police officer. When the manager eventually brought the officer some food, she decided she didn't want to eat it. Davenport says he didn't disrespect Martin and he would never refuse to serve an officer. "She hungry, I'm gonna give her some food," he says. The manager involved has been fired and the police department says it has received an apology from the CEO of Arby's and now considers the matter closed, reports Local 10 News. Arby's says all police officers in uniform in Miami-Dade and Broward counties can have a free meal today, reports WSVN, but Pembroke Pines officers may still be dealing with yesterday's leftovers: After the Arby's incident made the news, officers were provided with free meals from McDonald's and Whole Foods, as well as boxes of doughnuts donated by the public.
