A local Arab bakery was involved in a dispute with the San Francisco Police Officers Association for refusing to serve an officer. It all started when the police union posted on X (Twitter) about what had happened to one of its officers in Reem's California:
The complaint did not end there. The union sent an email to the bakery complaining about how the officer was treated. A spokesperson for Reem's California responded and claimed that refusing to serve the officer was part of the bakery's policy: "At Reem's we do have a policy to not serve anyone that is armed in a uniform."
The San Francisco Police Officers Association said the measure presumably includes uniformed military members and called the policy "bigoted" and "discriminatory." The union posted a new message reminding the public that they did not ask Reem's California to change its policy, but to put up a sign warning of it:

It didn't take long for the bakery's staff to respond. They posted on social media claiming that they had not served the officer due to their weapons policy. They insisted that the policy was put in place to provide both customers and employees with an "environment of safety":
