Fox News ^ | 05/15/2018 | MIchael Bartiromo

The Cheesecake Factory is investigating an incident at one of their Miami locations after a black customer claims he was verbally attacked by staff over his “Make America Great Again” hat, the Daily Wire reports.

Eugenior Joseph, 22, was reportedly dining with his girlfriend’s family at the Dadeland Mall location of the restaurant on Mother’s Day. His MAGA hat allegedly drew the attention of a female staff member, who gathered her co-workers to confront him, a witness told the site. The witness further claims about a dozen of those employees circled his table, pointing fingers.

...that these stories are happening demonstrates the cracks that are forming. It also reinforces the concept that blacks are not allowed to disengage from group-think, which proves Kanye’s point. This activity is going to make more and more black people question the status quo.

I believe this is a watershed moment. Once it turns, it’ll never go back.

...I hope so at least :)

Well, if that doesn't get him to change his vote...

I stay away from Olive Garden and have for many years. Their political views tell me that they don’t want my cash.


I stay away from Olive Garden because except for their salad and bread sticks, their food is nasty. But then, I grew up not far from Chicago, so I know what REAL Italian food tastes like, and I can make my own, as well.

This is a great post and it really shows you how much hatred the Far Left has for our great president Trump.

I do hope that he sues the hell out of these folks.

I was verbally accosted by a crazy Mexica Dude when I was buying Gas at Costco.

He apparently didn’t like my “TRUMP 45” Vanity Plates.

They were one of the first to jump on the lgbtqxyz bandwagon along with levis dungarees and a few others. They were very vocal at the time.

I know what you are saying about the good food. We are from Newark N.J. Italian neighborhoods. Almost every home had good food.

Now, you have to “counsel” employees and written warnings prior to firing. Otherwise, they may be able to collect UI and who knows what else. A friend of mine is a manager and had an employee walk off the job, call her names and she is not allowed to fire her. smh And, the HR department will take their sweet time. Of course, some employees are more equal than others, if you get my drift.

“I just tweeted this article to Cheesecake Factory(@cheesecake) and told them I won’t eat at their restaurants ever again.”

I’ve run a business. I’d hate to have all employees and myself judged by the actions of a few. By telling them you will never patronize them again you have lost all your influence. I wait until I see how things like this are resolved before passing judgement.

Why do you want it to hurt Cheesecakes bottom line?

Do you know that they, as a company, are opposed to Donald Trump? Or are you just guessing, and want to punish them just to be sure?

The fact that the entire restaurant appears to be staffed with anti-Trump people who are so stupid and incompetent as to publicly hound a paying customer over his political beliefs tells me they are probably a loser company. The management of the restaurant or the chain should have announced "if this incident is true, these employees' asses are FIRED forthwith". Instead, it's the usual "we are looking into it, uh,,,and we regret any inconvenience,,,and uh..out thumbs are up our butts...uh...

Why you get fired is important in some jurisdictions.
