Undercover officers would never ask for a law enforcement discount. And where I'm from giving law enforcement discounts are illegal. I know it's not the same in USA.
It may not be illegal, but accepting discounts is highly looked down upon by many departments.

I worked at a Pizza hut years ago. We always gave cops free pizza. They returned the favor by hanging out in our parking lot for a couple hours while we closed up and got into it cars at night.

Which is exactly why it is considered unethical for law enforcement to accept gratuities. If they're hanging out in your parking lot at closing, they're not hanging out in your competitor's parking lot. Yet you are both paying the same taxes for the same protection.

A cop randomly choosing a parking lot is fine. Businesses offering gratuities to police officers, in the hopes that police officers will frequent the business, are not fine.
Shit at the gas station I worked at we openly flaunted that we gave cops discounts and they were always hanging around outside. I got to know at least three of them on a first name basis.

Oh no, the world will stop turning if a cop hangs out for a few minutes
One cop hanging out for a few minutes outside of one business isn't a huge deal.
Just like one employee taking one hamburger off the grill for themselves isn't a huge deal.
But it becomes a systemic problem if you don't nip it in the bud. If a critical mass of cops are sitting in the parking lots of businesses that give them a discount, that means that it's much easier to target other businesses with crime.
No convenience store will want to be "the store that has no cops around between 12pm and 1am." And the only way they can fix that is by offering the cops a bribe discount?
Used to drive a retired Crown Vic police car and had to wear a suit for work. Got discounts frequently at drive throughs but never asked for one. They'd just say 'we gave you a discount!' and I'd say thanks and drive off. Never was explicitly asked if I was a cop.
Took me half a second to parse this as something other than "woman indicted for impersonating Federal law enforcement receives Chick-fil-A discount [because they thought that was great]".

The fact that they discontinued the spicy chicken biscuit is an affront to humanity.
It is the final and most powerful sign that we are in the darkest timeline.

Maybe all government workers need to pay full price? Taxpayers don't get discounts.

Oh Pleez....have you actually looked at the death rate of police vs the public? Police work doesn't even make it to the top of the list.
The only risk most of em face is choking on all those free shakedowns they're demanding.

When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled,
Oh brave Sir Robin turned about,
And valiantly he chickened out,
Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the Brave, Sir Robin!
