Ridiculous Rumor?
We haven't stooped this low, have we?
- J-Fed and the "think tanks" new great idea is for all POs to turn in your lunch receipts at check off to ensure you didn't receive a discount on your bill. Also, he wants District Commanders to go to restaurants officers frequent (Portillos, Ricobenes, etc.) and make sure no discounts are given to POs.
At this point, we'd be willing to believe just about anything of this regime.

never mess with a coppers lunch, thats the final straw...lol
I will give them a bam to the left and a bam to the right, and maybe even practice some of my Leo-Kwon-Doh on them too.
Nobody better mess with my free Burger King!!
I got kids to feed - bitch!!
SCC, don't you ever get sick of reporting your run of the mill bullshit rumor and inuendo? Come on already.............
SHOW THEM YOUR GROCERY RECIEPT AND A BROWN PAPER BAG. TELL THEM YOU BROUGHT YOUR OWN LUNCH FROM HOME.
I thought everyone brown bags broccoli and cauliflower?
What if we don't eat on our lunch? Or don't we get lunch unless we eat. Next, we will have to turn in receipts for personals (which are supose to be for "potty" breaks and not food. This is stupid. And...Riccobene's doesn't give receipts when they give white shirts breaks, so there!
can't be... ethics training TRAINED us that we can accept free stuff under a certain amount per year.... I believe 50 bux per place or something like that....
Mr Weis,
Well sir, I must tell you this, I am a regular blue shirt that gets shit on like every other blue shirt that doesn't have there lips wrapped around some bosses ass that gets shit on every day by citizens and this bullshit department. Unfortunately I am not afforded a 310,000 dollar a year salary like your unexperienced self. I am forced to live within the City limits of this Communist Run city (that restricts my 2nd Amendment rights), we pay property taxes that are the highest in the nation, I have to buy a bullshit 75 dollar City Sticker, I pay ridiculously high sales taxes because our elected officials rob and rape the system (not a one who I voted for). I have to send my kids to Private schools because I don't want the influence of the animal to corrupt my children, seeing that I live in a district that has a public school that was supposed to be for the neighborhood kids, but ended up being a place filled with bussed in filth from places like Gresham and Englewood. I watch as Illegal Immigrants, Criminals, and lazy welfare recipients get treated better than I or my family does everyday. Yet, I go to work everyday and do my job, I try to walk whatever zig zag line you and the incompetent staff you surrounded yourself with change day to day. All I can say is, if this is true, you are an asshole and I would like to see you in the 007th District some time so I can call you an asshole to your face. (1st watch I know that is past your bed time and it is pretty dangerous there but come out). We sit here and watch as this City finally self destructs on itself, that self destruction was brought on by you and your staff. Then you are going to sit there on your high horse wearing a uniform that I sweated and sacrificed for and tell me what side jobs and how much time I can work. You have no right.
Sincerely,
An Englewood Midnight Ranger
Who are these P.O's in the Sup's "think tank" group? I'm hearing more and more stories about them and their high and mighty attitudes. I have heard that they have a huge influence on J-Fed. I'm sure the rumor is false because not even the biggest ass kiss P.O. would say something so stupid. Whoever these "think tank" P.O.'s are have had many a free coffee or half price lunch.
I know once a P.O. goes to 35th Street to work for the brass and earn their merit stripes they go through a major change and never again return to their normal self. Most forgetting where they came from and flying the company flag. I'm sure his "think tank" group has perfected the ass kiss knee bend and probably consider themselves way above the rest of us. Whoever these P.O's are I'm sure they will never be accepted back among the rank and file if their honeymoon ends with J-Fed. Their best bet is IAD.
It can't possibly get worse...yet somehow it does!
SCC, how many TRU v. specific lunch location posts will there be?
I say 75!
Let's not forget to remind the bosses to add the charge of "CONGREGATING" when they bust us eating something other than the dog food that is available as sustanance in most "working" districts, especially on first watch. Unless you have developed a tolerance to food I wouldn't feed a stray dog, you WILL find me eating at the aforementioned establishments. So go fuck yourself, JFED.
So those coppers who dine at the OCB at 31st & Cicero every night won't be given a discount?
Without their $3 buffet I swear these guys will be looking like Somali orphans in one month, with the blown out bellies and flies buzzing around their heads!
I hope JFED doesn't expect a receipt when I "go down on" lunch and Im actually at home throwing the ol' lady the high-hard one. And that's AFTER I ride the prior two jobs out to make sure Im home long enough to eat, bone Mama and catch part ot the Sox game. Hey JFED, the score is: Police Department - nothing. Old-timer beat officer - 69. Fuck you, punk!!
The places we go do not offer receipts with our bills. Am I supposed to do a "nevers" or whatever her name is and strongarm a receipt from the local restaurant owner ? Sorry j-whatever, I pay cash and don't get my tax-deductible receipt. Sorry asshole, go fishing for another violation.
We don't get a lunch too busy answering bullshit calls...what if we don't take a lunch...is J_Fed going to pay us overtime!
Wait....are you saying that all discounts are unacceptable? Prices discounted for Police/Fire Night at Cellular Field against the law? A phone call to Special Activities will give you all of the "approved" discounts for police officers.
Burger King's corporate policy used to be that officers received FREE food if it was consumed on the premises while in uniform. McDonalds had a sign up at the counter that officers receive half off their meal and would receive priority service to allow them head-of-the-line status. Mount Sinai had free food for police until guys from all over the City abused the privilege and the 010th District commander tried to combat congregating by making President Ruth Rothstein abandon the practice. She told him it was HER hospital and she wound give away whatever she wanted and to whom.
As a national honor to first responders, Nextel gives police officers and their families’ discounts on phones and service and even recognizes that emergency service workers jobs are critical and allows their communications a priority during a crisis. No fast-busy if you're previously registered as a p/o.
Most guys would never use their positions for personal gain. If a perk or discount is available, most guys just pay full price and keep going. Guys in uniform are usually given a discount for their presence alone, sometimes without any knowledge of the discount.
I have worked for Cuello in 2 separate positions but she lost most of my respect for the Danny Ward incident and now in her role as Deputy Supt/Patrol. J-Fed is obviously a frustrated cop-wanabe, wearing the uniform whenever he can and envious about the buck or two cops got off on their lunches.
$310,000 and $165,000 a year? They can afford the surf and turf at Gibsons and now they’re worried about a few pennies off at the Palace Grill??? What's next? A general order on "brown bagging" it?
Reminds me of the movie "Major League." What else can you guys do to us and kill morale any farther? Better not let us find out that the dry cleaners give you guys a break on having your uniforms cleaned/pressed. You wouldn't want to set a bad example.
Good thing I bring my lunch to work.....GFY J-Fed!!
Hey J-FOOD, go eat a shit sandwich smoothered in piss!!
perhaps I can puke in their lap and they can tell me what I ate.
I'm rinning so scared right now I'm going to leave money on the table at home after I eat and on the night stand too...just in case.
who said J-fed and his brain trust aren't the real police?
Hey )$:48, a few pennies off at the Palace Grill? you must be dreaming, at never gonna happen. That's why George is a millionaire!!!!
I will turn in my OT for no lunch instead... Awesome idea. extra 1/2 hour every day!

Don't YOU ever get sick of coming here and bitching? Go away already, if you hate this site so much.
Every rumor usually has a grain of truth hidden somewhere inside. Depends on if it's a grain that turns into a huge pearl, or a grain that turns into nothing but shit.
Get over yourself. If you're so damned miserable, just don't come here anymore. Go drink at 12:36 a.m. instead of posting.
From a former Naperville P.O.
Chief Dial did the same thing back in '90 after the infamous Bratwurst scandal during the last fling. He had the W/Cs have all his sgt.s go to the food establishments in town and tell the proprietor that they were not to give any P.O.s any type of discount on their meals. This included the White Hen Pantries that gave us free coffee. Some complied but some the the owners that were old school and liked us basically said the same thing. "It's my place and I'll give a discount to whomever I please." Dial said that if the practice of discounts continued the officers would be banned from frequenting these establishments. He said his reasoning was that when contract time came up he could tell the city council that he ran a clean dept. His guys took no gratuities and they should be paid better. Our lodge basically said we'll worry about our contract, not you so let us have our coffee.
Years ago Sears used to give a PO discount. I remember shopping for Christmas during lean years and being thankful for it.
I think the majority of POs are thankful for a discount and do not abuse it when it is offered; they may only go someplace once a week to utilize the discount or they go regularly but pay full boat some days.
As usual, however, "We have met the enemy and he is us." The minority who abuse discounts (and the extreme example is that broad Nevers) are seen front and center because they cause scandal. Yet you don't hear about others because they utilize the discounts with discretion. The few bad ones, as usual, f*** it up for the many good ones.
Show Jfed your $200.00 plus grocery store receipts! The 25 percent increase over the last few years to feed your family! Bring those to the bargaining table.
Jboy if you're reading this. You can tell the police what to do but you can't boss me around!
I as a civilian tax paying citizen who had at one time a restaurant establisment, fed the police for free. It's my right to decide what I charge and to whom NOT YOURS!
Burger King's corporate policy used to be that officers received FREE food if it was consumed on the premises while in uniform.
Damn right it was!!!
Then some of you 22nd Rangers tore my place up and I had to make a deal with the devil to get my free food back.
I oughta bam you with a leff then bam you with a right!!
I know of Fed Officers that got freebies i.e. free lunch and coffee, they are NO different the anyone else!
So get off your high horse J-Fed your no better than anyone else with your $310,000 contract!
You just a great extorter and the little midget bought your line of bullshit!
I can't show the Dept. my receipts it will show that I was eating and spending my hard earned monies and taxes outside of the city limits in Oak Park!
I work the Westside and I don't eat chicken bones!
I can submit my orange peel.
How can they possibly track all of this without....CREATING A NEW BUREAU! Yes, that's it! The Bureau of Purchase Integrity. Monique Bond, your exempt deputy rank is coming!
Whats next, missing strawberries from the janitors' fridge??
if you dont produce a reciept, you cant go home
Following this white shirt logic you must pay FULL sticker price on a vehicle. It is really scary the way the management team on the 5th floor thinks.
Retired 2003
I brown bag it, fuck you Jody Weis.
And I write one or two parking tickets a day. Most of the time. And one or two movers a month. And a shoplifting arrest when absolutely necessary.
Shove your performance evals up your ass J-Fed and fuck your rifle program. Power test, what a crock of shit, go through a power test and training to get carbine and a chance at getting indicted even faster. No thanks. If I can't handle it with the .45 they can call SWAT. My gung ho days ended when Ronald Reagan was still president. And I haven't missed a paycheck.
OK Let me see the Free Blackhawks Hockey Tichets then too and all the other perks and bennies that the Gold Stars get.
WHATEVRE HAPPENED TO THE SOS PROBE WERENT THE BOSSES THERE RESPONSIBLE? No You worrie about my Lunch. Go stick my ticket bk up you brain.
HEY PETE BURST, NO MORE FREE FOOD YOU CHEAP POS.
Check the ethics test. It's OK according to the city. Who cares about this stuff anyway? Worry about the real issues here. Asshats.
"squad lunch at _-_- park thanks" but make sure you get lunch while down on that disturbance or t-stop. hey sarge didn't eat today, sat in the park.
Hope this is not true! Years ago though this was tried in 008 district but it failed! Hey boss how much more do you want to take from us? how much? You have fucked over coppers left and right,we have no contract, clout is still king, exempt staff is worthless clout hacks (surprise), we still have no good work schedule, junk cars, shit radios and computers, look at your 35th st. tower with the tilting floors like an amusement park (thanks to daleys envelope guy walsh), what next? How about you resign! Ask the mayor to leave also if you fail it is ok you still have millions in salary!
A while back I heard a story about a certain commander that was outraged when coppers were getting free food from the burger king in the district. The commander went so far as to write a memo in the c.o. book and attend roll call’s to tell the watches that they could not eat for free at Burger King. A couple weeks later when he found out p.o.'s were still eating for free he set up a meeting with the owner of Burger King and he demanded him to stop giving the officers free food. Little did he know that two officers had saved the owners life in a Robbery that just happen to be eating in the back when offenders entered. After the owner explained why he gives free food to the district officers the commander still insisted he not give free food to his officers and the owner said "this is my restaurant I’ll give free food to anyone I want now please leave."
Anyone else hear this story? Is it true?
WTF is going on? A city lawyer says that it's not policy to get a free cup of coffee? Since when? With all of the stories about cops and "dunkin donuts" over the years. I missed the memo about that was wrong. All of the bosses have gotten free coffee, meals etc. The secret service, fbi, state police all eat and get discounts at restaurants in the city. If you open your jacket to show your "star" on your belt and your "weapon" is near it...I guess all the "citizen" sees is your weapon. If they don't like your ass, I guess that's intimidation when they make the phone call. So, someone help me understand this...accepting a cup of "COFFEE" can get me fired or a suspension that will keep me upaid for about a year?
i ate lunch at the new commander's house during my tour while installing his cable. do i need to report that at check off? P.O. Rudy C.
this is a bullshit rumor...it would never happen

Take your lunch if you get DENIED, then turn in your slip. Its on the book, don't know if its a G.O or D.S.O, or rules and reg.
hard to turn in a reciept when you eat for free......laughing my ass off
2 and a half years to go and this dork will be outta here! You can put it on the BOARD!!!
SCC HAS stooped that low to re-print such a stupid rumor.
Who are these P.O's in the Sup's "think tank" group?
i know one of them is Sgt R.H. ... a total stroke who i believe worked at the academy for some time. i believe there was a post on him earlier this year describing how hes been dumped from so many units he needs an inter tube to fall down on.. the guy is an elitist fuck and needs a reality check
"It can't possibly get worse...yet somehow it does!
8/13/2008 01:30:00 AM"
Actually, it's getting better and better.
The idiots are continuing to come up with new reasons for the working patrol officers to unite.
The worse they try to make it, the greater the impetus to unite in opposition to the nonsense.
Weis is turning out to be a great motivator, of the opposite of his intentions.
Just like a typical fed.
"SCC, don't you ever get sick of reporting your run of the mill bullshit rumor and inuendo? Come on already.............

Who out there dreams up this shit???
sorry asshole I bring my lunch next
I don't want the discounts. I will steal a couple of apples a day from the cart and I'll be all set.
Mr Weis,
Well sir, I must tell you this, I am a regular blue shirt that gets shit on like every other blue shirt that doesn't have there lips wrapped around some bosses ass that gets shit on every day by citizens and this bullshit department.

Well said sir. Well said.
wow... this is pathetic because some fat ass bitch had to be a fucking penny pincher... we are going to get one of the last benefits left... thanks bitch... you are a true whore.
Lunch??? whats that?? We are lucky to get a personal..Most of us pack our lunches and eat on the run...no lunch taken? can I put a slip in for OT?
Its not that its an entertaining post, but its entertaining and sad the responses from people who actually think its true.

8/13/2008 04:48:00 AM
They're just reaching for shit now because they have to justify their existence and ridiculous salary. It seems like your administration is trying to strip whatever honor you guys have left. I'm not a cop and I wouldn't think twice of picking up a tab for a lunch or a cup of coffee for you guys. I used to waitress during college, most restaurant owners (especially coffee shops) feel that it is a privilege to treat the guys (and gals) in blue and we never expected or assumed to get anything in return.
bullshit!!!
you are allowed a discount per Dept Rules and regulations.... as long as there is no squid pro quote..
We don't get a lunch too busy answering bullshit calls...what if we don't take a lunch...is J_Fed going to pay us overtime!
**Um Yea. You'd be the dumbass if you didn't turn in a slip if you missed lunch !
How about everyone starts Brown-Bagging their Lunch, and shows up at the Aldermans Office [public City Place] to eat? Then, on afternoons, midnights, eat at Libraries, and Firehouses. Or just take lunch in the car in front of one the Married Bosses girlfriends house.
Where do they get these STUPID ideas? Somebody please tell me this is all B.S. If not, these supervisors are all getting paid WAY Too Much.
All I can say is, if this is true, you are an asshole and I would like to see you in the 007th District some time so I can call you an asshole to your face.
Silly Idiot
If you are so bold and brave why do you need to wait until he comes to 007 midnights? Why not sign your name or take a ride to headquarters? Don't make an ass of yourself
Command Staff: Please QUIT getting ANY further Ideas, you make us all look like Clowns, like Eddie Burke did with the Aldermen re :froig -rais. [Except that Eddie didn't need to make the Aldermen look like Clowns, They ARE Clowns!!!!! ]
Normally, I would call this pure bullshit...but these people do not have a clue on how to right this sinking ship.J-Puke and his crew are more fucked than the average P.O..Why?THE FUCKIN MIDGET IS BACK AND WANTS THIS PROBLEM AND BAD PUBLICITY GONE!
which are supose to be for "potty" breaks and not food.
Who told you that little man?
If I itemize on my taxes, I think that means my lunch receipt is a business expense.
So if you want the receipt, show me your subpoena of GFY.
Tink tank
fink fank
stink stank
hand job
blow job
The restaurants that I worked at also gave discounts and free drinks (coffee and soda) to police officers.
We loved having the men (and now women) in blue around, especially in the wee hours. Your very presence was a deterrent to any would be criminals. I always felt safer when you were around as well.
The higher eschelon seems to thrive on making their employees miserable. Their management style is counterproductive to morale.

Not likely.
They ain't that good at detecting.

Well Shit for Brains, you don't get paid for those 30mins., so if you don't take it? Then shame on you GOOF!!
next time at HQ...im gonna take a poop there and turn their ''thinktank'' into a stinktank. maybe j fed never got a happymeal when he was a jr.g-man.

I agree also but lose the ridiculous ranger shit already will ya, it's pathetic and makes you sound like a 2 yr. wonder who is really impressed with himself. People that call themselves rangers usually aren't..
When I was in high school, I worked at Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins. I was told to give the cops whatever they wanted. Most were regulars, some weren't, and then there were the assholes that would take 4-5 boxes of 2 dozen donuts and not even say thank you.
To tell you the truth, I liked giving cops free coffee and donuts. Why? Because at 11pm or midnight or at 4am when I was there early - I wanted them around. A few cents worth of product to give a little bit more safety for the business is a wise investment.
Fuck your management for trying to influence private business. It's an entirely different story if cops were demanding a free lunch, but if the discount is offered voluntarily, who are they to say that's against ethics?
Tell them to sit on it and spin.
Yeah. This Fed Tool bag didn't get taken care of ONE TIME during his coronation tour when he came here. Before everyone found out he was a big DICK.
What an asshole.
Like my dad used to say, "Not as I do. As I say."
Can I wrap up my, half-eaten-bull- shit-meal-that-I-didn't-get-to-finish-because-some-asshole-got shot-during-my-lunch, and send it to Weis.
Does that count as a receipt fuck stick?
What if there's Fois Gras on my lunch receipt?
Who gets more free shit? The average baet guy or the bosses that work Area 3. Specifically RBT.
You don't think that they're taken care of handily and consistently by some of the finer business establishments in the city?
Yeah. Fuck with the guy getting an extra wing at Harold's
Hey Weis. Clean up your own back yard first.
Just sign WEIS' name and star to receipt that will stop the madness!!

Funny! Sad and possibly soon-to-be-true, but still funny until it actually happens, however, the thought of Moan-ique Bondage in our uniform and inspecting the troops is priceless. That is the day we have truly hit the bottom.
Holy Moron Batman!!!
Time for the brown bag lunch to make a come back!
Fuck this guy is gone in 2--9!
Willmette Chief sends a letter to all the businness every few years telling them no discounts
LETS ALL JUST FART AT CHECKOFF AND LET SGT. FIGURE OUT WHERE WE ATE LUNCH.
Please dont takes away the White Castle...I takes my family every day...
