The female staffer said she would not serve them, reportedly saying, \u201cNo, I won\u2019t serve you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/exclusive-seattle-police-officers-refused-service-at-local-chocolate-shop\">The Post Millennial<\/a>, after the encounter with the employee, whom The Post Millennial described as a \u201cwhite female with green streaks in her hair,\u201d The Post Millennial contacted the store. An employee told The Post Millennial, \u201cIs this how you want to spend your time? Getting essential workers in trouble? Shouldn\u2019t you be spending your time harassing homeless people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the reporter for The Post Millennial then said they would attempt to contact the owner or manager, the employee agreed that would be a better idea, but then reportedly added, \u201c\u2026 and go f*** yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Post Millennial added, \u201cFollowing the publication of this article, another police officer contacted The Post Millennial with a similar story from a different date where they were refused service at the Chocolati location on E.

Although we do respect this team member\u2019s freedom of speech, the actions in this instance do not represent our views as a company. We are actively working directly with this team member and the local precinct to create a more inviting, inclusive and cohesive community for all.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But two days later, the cafe\u2019s owner, Christian Wong, announced\u00a0the employee no longer worked at the store, writing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChocolatiCafes\/posts\/10159286672734559\">Facebook<\/a> that \u201cit was in the best interest of both parties to part ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>As soon as I learned of this incident, we worked to understand the facts of what took place, and we spoke directly with the team member involved. We also spoke with the Sergeant of our local SPD precinct. After fully understanding the facts of this incident, we came to the mutual conclusion that it was in the best interest of both parties to part ways with the team member involved in this incident. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I look forward to meeting on Sunday with the SPD officer involved in this incident to personally apologize \u2013 just as I would apologize to any customer who was refused service on the basis of an employee\u2019s personal views.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis incident at Chocolati occurred as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/2841645\/rantz-66-cops-seattle-police-mass-exodus-worsens\/\">Seattle Police Department faces a significant crisis<\/a>.
