You don't say who you asked about the police discount. It was rude to do so whether you asked the officers or the resturant staff. How is it your business what, if any, discount is given to others?

Second, saying all Border Patrol does is ride up and down a fence all day is like saying all your husband does is sit on top of a sand dune. Have a little respect for others who are doing dangerous public service.

I think it's not IHOP who needs to re-evaluate.
