A cashier at a Taco Bell restaurant in Alabama refused to serve two police officers, CNN reports. The unidentified worker said she would not take the deputies' order, and when they asked if she was kidding, she said, "No, I'm not serving you." Another customer allegedly thanked her, saying she "didn’t want to eat somewhere with a cop." The company apologized and said the cashier had been fired.
