A now-former 50-year-old, 9-year Whataburger employee in Lewisville said it was all a joke when he denied service to two police officers. He said there are two sides to every story and the incident was just a misunderstanding. Because he has been receiving death threats, he asked not to be identified but claims he tried to explain to the officers that he was joking. “I told them, ‘Look man, it was just a joke, And I apologize if y’all took it the wrong way,” the former employee told News 8. “I said, ‘It was just a joke, I do that to a lot of police officers.’” He said at one point, one of the officers said to him, “We’re going to make you a star tonight.”
Statement From Whataburger
“We were appalled to hear of an employee refusing service to two officers, as we have proudly served first responders across our system for decades. As soon as we heard of this isolated incident, we began our own internal investigation overnight. The employee that refused service is no longer employed with Whataburger. We’ve also invited the officers back today so we can apologize in person and make this right.”
