My friend Mike, retired from the Buffalo police Dept, about 2 years ago. He now lives on a nearby lake. He said the free coffee and doughnuts for cops, is just about a given in the Buffalo area..
It is a win/win situation. Cops get treated good, cops hang around..robbers not so likely to rob a place frequented by cops. Everyone knows also, that these same cops are likely to go there when off duty.
Shows the ignorance of the "Five-bucks" coffee franchises.
