Allow members of the emergency services to jump the que when working a shift

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition would allow any member of the emergency services working a shift to be able to jump the ques in cafes ec. Incase an emergency was to be attend to they would have a better chance of having a meal before going on their way to help others in need.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

At the moment, this would be a decision for individual businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you'd like Parliament to make this a legal requirement, you could start a new petition asking for that.
