Police Officers Take Orders at Tip-a-Cop

This cop is going to give you a burger

Where: Hard Rock Cafe, Pier 39

When: Monday, June 13, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

Cost: We suggest at least a 20 percent tip on the bill -- it is for charity.

The Rundown: Usually when a police officer pulls out a tab there are sweaty palms, traffic infringements, and maybe the excuse that, "I swear that light was still yellow." But today, San Francisco police officers will be pulling out tabs for a different reason: meal orders. The annual Tip-a-Cop fundraiser benefits Special Olympics Northern California, which provides training, transportation, and competition for children and adults with disabilities. So go ahead and order the steak, tip the cop, and support a good cause. And yes, we agree, that light was definitely still yellow.
