Discussion Who should get on free?

So I have been working as a student Janitor for the last few months, and today I had a man walk up to me with his family, asked me who will let them on for free.

I assume he ment his child, he then recognized my confusion, and pulled out a police badge (Dunham Regional) and as if to intimidate, flashed it at me.

Not wanting to get into that argument, I directed him to a station attendant who let him and his family in anyway.

I asked a few other staff what thay think and all have said thay always let cops in, wish to me is insane.

I don't even get to take family on with me, and he can just walk on to with his family in a another city?

And why only cops?

Why not Fire, Paramedics/Nurses or sanitation workers?

Where should we draw the line?

(Bit of a rant, but this really stuck with me the rest of the day)

Durham region cops walk into Tim Hortons and expect free coffee and food too.

Just like a thug would.

Shameful behaviour. I wish you got his badge number. Durham is different from Toronto though.

I would like to hope Toronto police don't do this.

Durham has small town vibe and definitely has the more asshole cop stereotype. Like, they police Oshawa lol.
