Cafe Worker Fired Over Anti-Police Insults On Cop's Receipt

GALLOWAY, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey restaurant worker who wrote insults on a police officer's receipt has been fired.

The owner of Romanelli's Garden Cafe in Galloway took the action after a photo of the receipt was posted online. The receipt from Sunday showed the words "cops," ''pigs" and the Spanish word for pigs scribbled on the receipt.
