Taco Bell Employee Tells Cops: ‘I’m Not Serving You’ The Libertarian Republic by Keith Farrell An Alabama Taco Bell employee has been fired after telling police officers they were not welcome in the restaurant and would not be served. Two Lee County sheriff’s deputies were visiting a Taco Bell in Phenix City Saturday when they received an unexpected reception. Instead of taking their order, a cashier told the deputies that because they were police they would not be served. The deputies were initially so surprised they asked if the cashier was joking. “No, I’m not serving you,” the cashier replied, according to Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones, who gave a statement to local WTVM News. According to a Facebook post by Tammy Bush Mayo, wife to a Lee County deputy and the first person to describe the incident, a woman approached the cashier and said that if the cops had been served, she would have asked for a refund because she didn’t want to eat alongside police.

He added that the incident was likely the work of a rogue, disgruntled employee and he encouraged the community not to blame Taco Bell as a company.
