A Connecticut Dunkin’ Donuts quickly apologized to a local police officer who was told he would not be served at the location.

The store's manager said his employee was just joking when she reportedly said, “He didn’t get the message. We don’t serve cops here," in front of other customers.

The comment prompted the West Hartford police officer, who’d been waiting in line, to walk out in disgust.

As he headed for his car, the manager brought the employee over to apologize, and the worker explained the comment was made in jest.

As part of the apology, the worker reportedly offered a free cup of coffee.

But the officer would have none of it and said he’d take his business elsewhere.

Dunkin’ Brands Group said that that the crew member showed poor judgment and that Dunkin’ franchises are committed to fair treatment of their customers.

The incident comes after employees at Arby’s and Whataburger refused service to police officers in separate episodes in September.

A donut shop not serving cops? They'd lose all their customers.

I'm pretty good at detecting humor vs insult. My passive aggressive radar is pretty accurate as well. Had this been me, I'm pretty sure I would be able to immediately detect if the employee was joking or serious. Lot of clues go with the words to help figure that out. If I determined it was passive aggressive or the employees obvious sentiment I   would have left as well. When flagged down in the parking lot by the manager with the employee, I would have thanked the manager for his actions and told the employee thank you but no thank you to the coffee. I would have left at that point. I would have probably shared the story with my buddies because we do have to be aware of anti cop food places for health reasons if you get my drift.. and that would be the end of it. No way would it have gotten into the news.
