Cop Fired For Demanding Free Coffee From Starbucks

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A demand for special coffee cost a police officer his job on Wednesday.

Lt. Major Garvin, a long-time officer with the Daytona Beach Police Department, was fired, accused by police of intimidating Starbuck's employees.

In an internal investigation report, employees at the Starbucks on Oceanwalk Drive allege Lt. Garvin was a frequent visitor, sometimes going in six times a shift. He would order his white mocha's or passion iced teas and refuse to pay, saying officers get coffees for free.

Employees say officers do get coffee for free, but regular ones, not specialties.

After several arguments employees said the Lt. told them:  "If something happens we could respond really fast or really slow.  I'm the difference between you getting a two minute response time or a 15 minute response time."

In Florida...of course.  This is how you know you have a coffee drinking problem.

Good, the arrogant shit has no business being a cop with an attitude like that.

They can take six coffee's a day worth of cash out of his pension too for all I care. Plus get sued for the rest of it for that shameful "response time" comment. WTH? sounds like a bad movie.  :whatever:

I used to work at Starbucks, and we used to give the officers that came in free coffee. They always tried to pay, but we never let them. Then again, they weren't huge assholes like this guy.
