I like Denny's! Or at least, I like some Denny's! But its definitely a crap shoot from one location to another. Consistency in product not exist.

Dennys has been uniformly awesome in my experience. I've only been to three different restaurants, but all were great for the money spent. I was a sad panda when the one a mile away from me closed. I haven't been in a few years. While I thought the food was great, it isn't great enough to travel for. I'd rather go to an indie if I'm doing some driving.
 
Woah, stop the presses. Somebody made a mistake and "disrespected" some police. Hopefully that's not the typical reaction of a police chief.

The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.

Canada has different regulations for food, ingredients and prep. Fast food generally tastes good here. Sometimes much better than the American counterpart.

This also causes increases in prices. On average Canadian fast food is more expensive here.

As a public employee, he is covered by his union's collective bargaining agreement, not any imaginary 14th Amendment right to just cause and due process.

While the police union's collective bargaining agreement almost certainly goes beyond the base protections granted to state employees, DCal (much as I hate to admit it) is not entirely wrong.

While the 14th Amendment has no provision for "just cause" there are cases where the Amendment's due process requirement has been read to require some form of hearing before firing. However, even this is not extended to all public employees, only to those whose employment contracts have created a "right" to their job (the most common example being tenured professors at state-run universities).

I've been to Denny's in at least six or seven states. It's like any other restaurant, depends on who's cooking, their experience and training, whether they're hung over, hate working there, etc. Sometimes its the manager who enforces piss-poor practices to save money.
 
I love Denny's breakfast, better than Ihop. Ihop never looks anything like the picture in the menu. Denny's does.

And who are these idiots that are afraid of inanimate objects?

left-wing anti-gun nuts, who else?

I am pretty sure that the no guns allowed policy is in violation numerous SCOTUS rulings and the Second Amendment.

The chief did the best thing he could have done.

There would always be a shit-stirrer or two, cop or civilian, who would constantly be in a wadded panties state of mind wanting to re-enact this confrontation. Best for the cops to lay low for a few months until all the BS blows over, then let everything quietly return to normal.

Chief gets a :thumbsup:

From what I have read the courts have held that if it isn't explicitly stated even being at a job for an extended period of time, or year or so, can be enough to create a right. Once an employee goes beyond their probationary period they now have a right and expectation to keep their job. Nonunion government employees have no contract, but they still have a right to their job the courts have held.

In fact the courts have held in only limited circumstances due public employees not have this right, such as temporary employee,seasonal, or probationary ones.

I used to hit Denny's after work for dinner back in the old days. Never got sick. You people who complains about shitting water from eating out are grade F pussies. Should just stick to canned chicken noodle.

In other news, the Denny's in Belleville, Illinois was robbed, calls to 911 went unanswered.

😀

Joking aside, if there was some robbery at that place, I'd bet the response time would not be spectacular, and I don't blame the police either.

The real idiots are the ones who complained to the restaurant about the detectives, and the idiot manager who asked them to take their weapons outside.

And why wouldn't it be? It avoids any future issue with the restaurant and protects both the manager from future situations and the cops from actually having to eat at Denny's.

Are you a cop? Do you carry a gun? Don't go to the Denny's in Belleville, Ill.

You are not allowed, the police chief says. Not after what happened Tuesday.

The flapjacks -- sorry, the flap -- began when several on-duty detectives with the Belleville Police Department dropped in to Denny's for some on-duty noshing, according to local media.

They had their badges and their guns, but as detectives, not their uniforms, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This bothered a patron who then complained to a manager, David Rice, who then complained to one of the detectives: Please take your gun to your car or leave. No guns allowed.

"Upon further discussion, we became aware the individual was a plain-clothed police officer," Denny's spokeswoman Liz DiTrapano said in a statement, according to the News-Democrat. "Denny's policy permits law enforcement officials to carry their firearms in the restaurant, and we regret any misunderstanding."

Denny's sure does, because despite the efforts of a general manager who tried (and failed) to clear up the misunderstanding before the detectives left, the department's chief banned on-duty and off-duty police in uniform from returning to the restaurant.




oops. lol don't feel sorry for denny's at all.
