A police officer and his fiancée in Newton, Kansas, went to Taco Bell on Saturday night but ended up with more than they bargained for.
The couple ordered two soft tacos from the local restaurant, and when they received their food, they found that the word "pig" was written on the taco wrappers.
The employee who wrote it has since been fired, according to Wichita news outlet KAKE.

"We do not share the same belief or view as the employee whatsoever... We’ve always supported the police in our community," Jeff Graves, senior director of operations for Taco Bell, told KAKE. "Many of our restaurants give police discounts when they come in and eat.”
Graves also reached out to the Newton police with an apology for the incident.
All seems to be forgiven. "We understand the incident was the action of an individual, and do not hold ill will to Taco Bell or any of its employees," a post on the Newton police Facebook page reads.
