#1 We took swift action and this person is no longer employed by us.

What about the other half of the problem?

#4 the employee was unapologetic, expressed her hatred toward police and said she would continue to refuse service to coppers

That's not a 'hate' crime?

#5 Skidmark, Whataburger will NEVER be a "formerly" popular thing in Texas. The locals will correct the situation, especially in places like Denison which is in deep red north Texas near Oklahoma.

Whataburger is an institution in Texas.

#8 The employee alleged “cops beat up my boyfriend and are racists,” Burch said. He added that the woman told the supervisor her boyfriend was “beat up” when Denison officers arrested him a few weeks ago.

Burch said the supervisor went to the station and found the documentation of the arrest and then reviewed the video of the arrest from the arresting officer’s dash cam.

“It was a ‘routine’ arrest,” Burch said. “There was no physical altercation and no one injured. So the employee was simply lying about her boyfriend getting ‘beat up’ by police.

I predict long term unemployment in her future, because "The Man™ is always keeping her down".

#9 “It was a ‘routine’ arrest,” Burch said. “There was no physical altercation and no one injured. So the employee was simply lying about her boyfriend getting ‘beat up’ by police.

"And what's with all these scratches on your back; police rough you up too?"

"Ummm....yeah. Yeah, the police did that."

#11 Nice Whataburger you got there. Be a shame if the police are a little slow the next time you get held up.
