The owner of a Brooklyn Dunkin' Donuts where two NYPD cops were refused service has personally apologized to one of the officers and plans a meeting to try to put the matter to rest, the shop's corporate parent said Thursday.
In a prepared statement, Dunkin' Brands spokeswoman Michelle King said the company was "aware of the recent situation" — in which a worker declared, "I don't serve cops" — reported by the New York Post.
"The franchisee who owns and operates this restaurant informed us that immediately upon learning of this situation earlier this week, he contacted one of the police officers involved to personally apologize for any negative experience he may have had in his store," she said.
"The franchisee of the Brooklyn restaurant is meeting with the police officer he spoke to earlier this week in person to hopefully bring this to a satisfactory conclusion for all involved."
