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.

Cheesecake Factory WAS one of my favorites. I would not set foot in one again until they change the policy and issue a public apology to the police officers who put their lives on the line every day to protect us .
Solong Cheesecake factory.
Well I won’t be going there anymore. Should be ashamed. I hope you will need help and you won’t get it. Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Boycott all Cheesefactorys. People Power for Blue.
Will be boycotting! Perhaps your interested in Muslim style war!
Shame on them..police protect them
True example of poor character
It’s interesting to see that the general person commenting here looks over the age of 45. The simple statistics show that the youth, the new generation doesn’t care about this. Interesting trend.
Boycott
