I don't know the specific regulations are where I live, but I do know the cops won't accept free meals and will get offended if anyone pushes. I've actually witnessed this playing out in local restaurants, fast food, and coffee places

It's not just the overt racism that's the problem here.

It's like, "What's next, free blow jobs from the local hookers?"
