The Latest sad "Tazering"

That's their job, they earn nothing from me apart from tax money.

Genuine kindness and willingness to help, that's not based on rewards earns my respect. Not someone doing what they're paid to do.

I know I am a bit late in the conversation...but...

It was really easy to see your point I can actually understand this argument WITHOUT the need to argue about it.

I personally think that someone who chooses a profession that could potentially save my life or the life of a loved one or keep them out of harms way...deserves my respect...even if that respect means calling them sir or liking the fact that they eat free at Carl's Junior while on duty.

In my opinion, it is very rude to not be grateful for those services that may or may not be rendered to you, despite the fact that your taxes pay for their services. I like the people in my neighborhood...I would be grateful if one of them received help from a police officer...on the same token, I would be more disappointed than I was grateful for the help if that same police officer abused his power on that same neighborhood person.

It affects my opinion of them, but I'm still polite to customers.

That's not the point, the point is; regardless of what you're FEELING, you cannot act biasedly, that is not acceptable.

If you have to go back to the kitchen or the station and swear, punch your locker or whatever, do it, but don't bring that into your job.

That's what I'm saying, ey. I've fired mechanics for being a blatant ******* to customers, who themselves were being assholes. Being rude back to them is off limits; that kinda shit is bad for my PR.

How is that illegal? The sign says "free".... 🙄

It my be illegal in your state, but not here in OKC. If they are off duty, ten it is only 50% off. (Paramedics too.)

I see.

In AZ it's illegal for a uniformed cop to accept free food from business establishments.

Because it constitutes as a bribery, which is illegal for an officer of the peace to accept. Though who's going to enforce it at places like Carl's JR.

That's the rationale for the law here: bribery.

It's free food... but only if you're supposed to be doing your job, earning respect and bitchslapping those fools who backtalk to you.

If you can't threaten me with a taze, you have to pay. haermm

Are you actually that stupid, that you can't see a difference between being grateful and being respectful?

I've actually already said that I'm grateful that they do.

I wasn't addressing you after the little praise thingie that I gave you. I should have used my "enter" button three times instead of twice after that so you wouldn't fly off the handle. I usually do that to show distinguishment..but I forgot this time. The rest was a "in general" type of thing.

I could be like AC and argue the point that being grateful could be an appropriate form of respect so it looks like I intended the post for you so it wouldn't look like I put together the post poorly...but I am going to be honest with you and just admit that my post was layed out like crap it was my bad.

I understood that before my post...notice the "roll eyes" smiley. I was being a smart ass because they have a sign that says free to "any officer, fireman, or paramedic on duty" or something close to that. "Because they have a sign...it makes it legit"...hence the rolls eyes smiley. But thanks for the effort...it means you care about me. 🙂

Respect: To take notice of; to regard with special attention; to regard as worthy of special consideration; hence, to care for; to heed.

Gratitude: a feeling of thankfulness and appreciation; "he was overwhelmed with gratitude for their help".

OK, fair enough.

If they are not an explicit threat, they should not be taken as one, simple as that.

You just have a way of not grasping sometimes.

So you are saying that being grateful for someone's passive help is not a form of respect, right?
