"Our management team has reached out to Chief Semmes and apologized for the incident. We are conducting a full review, and once we get all the facts we will take appropriate action quickly. Our goal is for every customer to have an enjoyable experience. If we do not deliver on that promise, we work hard to rebuild the customer's trust."
