We recently told you about the incident involving 22-year-old Eugenior Joseph, his MAGA hat and the Cheesecake Factory. Long story short, he was dining at the restaurant and Cheesecake Factory employees berated him. Some even said they wanted to punch him in the face.
“I got up and went to the restroom, my girlfriend followed me, and as we were walking back, a group of [the employees] came out from the back and they just started clapping and yelling, and just screaming things at me,” Joseph said.
“They were clenching their fists and they were just standing behind me, trying to scare us,” he told “Fox & Friends.”

The Cheesecake Factory eventually apologized, but when asked if he’d ever dine there again, Joseph said, “definitely not.” Can’t say I blame him.
No guest should ever feel unwelcome in one of our restaurants and we are taking this matter very seriously. Upon learning of this incident, we immediately apologized to the guests in person. The individuals involved have been suspended pending the results of our investigation.

Word has it the Cheesecake Factory terminated two employees, although it sounds like more than two employees were involved in the incident.
