IMO: Pretty petty at the outcome of doing a good deed.
Have you ever done something that you thought was nice, but then got in trouble for it? Unfortunately when that happens it can have a negative impact, making people hesitant to do nice things in the future.
One Texas teen will definitely think twice about doing an act of kindness in the future. What started out as a thoughtful gesture ended in the teen running into some trouble.
Zack Randolph is an 18-year-old employee at Great American Cookies. When a police officer came by to pick up some dessert, Randolph had an idea.
He told the officer that he wanted to pay for his treat, as a way of saying thanks for everything that he does. Randolph pulled out his wallet and paid the $2.75, not even taking advantage of the employee discount.
“He’s just a really nice guy and on top of that he has a badge,” he said. “That’s enough for me to buy him something. That’s the least I can do.”
Randolph’s mom, Tami, posted about the incident on Facebook. People were outraged at the story, and demanded justice.
It wasn’t long before the company issued an apology for their uncalled-for actions. The suspension was revoked, and they admitted that Randolph had been in the right.
It is unfortunate that this incident occurred when a teen was just trying to show his respect for law enforcement. “A lot of people I know my age don’t support police officers. I don’t think it’s fair,” said Randolph.
It’s difficult to understand how some people can be so selfish and unkind, but we’re happy this young man was recognized for his graciousness. Keep being a light!

I'm going to pre-empt the following with my blanket statement: There are 2 sides to every story, however, if this side is an accurate depiction of what happened, then I stand behind the following 100%. If it isn't, then I still stand behind the premise of the following, as I believe that bad behavior is rewarded increasingly more over good behavior these days.
There are many times when the "customer is always right" should not apply.
Good job Great AMERICAN Cookie Company (I use the words "Great" and "American" with much reservation, at least for this store), let's all work together to see if we can punish good will, charity and generosity completely out of the 21st century. With any luck at all you guys can make good manners, kindness and courtesy from the U.S. In the next 10 years.
Punish the good and reward the bad; sadly, it's been going on way before this, and it will only get worse if companies do not stand up for what's right instead of what's politically correct.
Both can exist hand in hand if prudence is used in determining whether punishment is deserved or not.
In addition, this company just showed EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE what they think of them.
Everyone here understands the concept of leadership and how detrimental to moral and operations are when the chain of command shows no support for their troops.
Loyalty is a 2 way street, just as respect is a 2 way street. Employees will only be loyal to their companies for so after the company shows they are not loyal to their companies.

SGT Michael Thorin It is hard to believe this is happening, but I am so proud of this young man for sticking up for what he did. It was the right thing to do and it is also best he move on from the cookie company.

It is sad that the immature and jealous couple couldn't tolerate an act of kindness by 18-year-old cashier Zack Randolph as he paid for the dessert for a police officer TSgt Joe C. at Katy Mills Mall in Katy, Texas.
The fact that this indignant couple pulled their tantrum in front of their young daughter speaks to their poor character. I pity that young girl.
It is sad that Great American Cookies "upper management" fired Zack Randolph and may well only have reinstated him after the outpouring of support to his mom, Tami, who posted about the incident on Facebook.
I am glad that the local store manager supported Zack Randolph and that Zack Randolph said he would do what he did in heartbeat.
It seems that Zach has strong character in the good sense.
