Another restaurant has begun refusing service to police officers, in a trend that has surged in popularity since this year’s Black Lives Matter protests.
One of the first reported instances of this phenomenon happened earlier this year at a restaurant in Washington State:
A Washington State sheriff was stunned to learn his deputies were no longer welcome to eat lunch at a local Asian restaurant.
Four Skagit County, Washington, deputies were having lunch at the Lucky Teriyaki restaurant in Sedro-Wolley earlier in the week. When two of the deputies approached the cash register to pay there bill, the owner told them they were no longer welcome to eat at his restaurant, according to a post by the sheriff on the department’s Facebook page.
The fallout was immediate. People boycotted the restaurant and the backlash gained the attention of national media. But that hasn’t stopped other Washington establishments from trying the same thing.

Agree
Not in Arizona as we have a very open concealed carry law and it includes open carry, therefore, you would be breaking the law if you denied service to a law officer. Half the people in the establishment may be packing and you wouldn’t even know it.
Oh hell no. I think
boycotting them would send a great message. don’t turn ur back on Police. have respect
Boycott
Everybody stop going there.
I say burn them all down… then it would be ok!
Next time you have a problem call BLM not the cops.
I will NOT be supporting anything to do with Cheesecake Factory anymore!
Idiots…
I will not spend money anywhere that does not back our cops!
