'Cursed' Pizza Receipt Insults Torrance Cop

PALOS VERDES, CA – A Torrance Pieology employee suspected of printing an anti-police phrase on a receipt was fired from his job Monday. A uniformed officer stopped at the pizza restaurant for lunch Thursday and was handed a receipt with the anti-police statement "F--- the cops" in a spot where the customer's name usually goes.

The officer didn't confront anyone at the restaurant, but shared the receipt with colleagues on Monday. A fellow officer's wife learned about the insult and posted it on Facebook – from there, it went viral.

"The actions of this individual do not in any way reflect that of Pieology," according to statement issued by the Orange County-based company, which terminated the employee.
