why do ONLY police officers get free coffee?

I realize a lot of people on here are from the US and other parts of the world and I don’t know how things are where you live. Here in Ontario (canada), any coffee house you go, police officers get free coffee and sometimes snacks too… but not firemen or medical workers (ambulance drivers, etc). Why is that? Everyone works as hard as the police officers do. everyone else risks their lives on the job as much as they do. I think they should be entitled to free coffee as well. what do you think?

Answer #1

I see your point, but tell me this: if a fire breaks out in one of the ovens (which has happened- electrical) who do you call? the firemen if a customer has a seisure or a heart attack in your store ( both have happened in our store) who do you call? the ambulance.

you can’t tell me that the police officers do so damn much, if it weren’t for the fire dept, wouln’t have a store to work in… if it wasn’t for that medic team,my customers would be dead.

I say, if any of those 3 walk into the store I uniform, either give it to all of them or none at all.

and ALL Tim Horton’s locations are told to give it to the poice for free

Answer #2

I am not arguing with you…

thisis not a mtter of whether timmies gives it out or not, I am just wonderig why police officers get the special treatment. period

Answer #3

and ALL Tim Horton’s locations are told to give it to the poice for free

That’s not true…having worked at a few Tim Hortons stores in my years, and having been married to a police officer, I know for a fact that that statement is false.

I stand by my last point: if the coffeeshop owners gave free coffee to every person who deserved it, they’d go bankrupt.

Answer #4

I didnt know they got it free…

its out of order that the other emergency services dont get it…

Answer #5

I believe coffee should be free for everyone! I love coffee and I always get mine for free!! (courtesy of Starbucks!)

Answer #6

Police don’t always get free coffee.

It is up to the owner of the coffee establishments to make that decision…it’s not like this is something that’s governed by our laws.

Usually, they will offer the police free coffee because the police keep their shops safe. While paramedics and firefighters also do an admirable job of saving people’s lives, it’s the police who get called out during robberies and to deal with aggressive or drunk people in their stores.

Try to understand - if the coffeeshop owners gave free coffee to every person who deserved it, they’d go bankrupt.

Answer #7

Its stupid that pigs get free coffee in the first place, I didnt know that before now (I live in ontario also) but Im totally disgusted by that fact. Police officers get wayyy too much entitlement. Like if someone kills another person noone but people close to that person cares.. but if someone kills a fcking pig its like OMG they’re a cop killer and they get this extravagant funeral.. its bullsht is all Im sayin..

Answer #8

THEY DO?!! son of a b*tch!!!

Answer #9

I think is because at one time maybe there was a crime area and by giving free coffee the police will visit more and it will give potential robbers a compelling reason to stay away.
