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.

Shame on them…who do they think protects them on a daily basis…God bless our Wonderful and brave Police!
Forget them!
boycott
These restaurants who do this should be boycotted by the residents of that state or county to show these fools what will happen if the police refuse to answer a call to them because of a robbery
time to boycott them
I just want to know what happens when there’s an armed robbery and the police aren’t allowed in with their guns. How stupid can people be
We won’t eat there again.
Boycott Cheesecake Factory
BOYCOTT!!!
