AMARILLO, TEXAS -- My friend and I have eaten at this restaurant several times. Although it is noisy, we have had good service and good food. Last night, our server was Hannah and she made sure our food was as ordered, even if our steaks were "just right." She was cordial, but not intrusive.
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO -- I am not an employee any longer, but am definitely a concerned bystander who has firsthand knowledge that the Founder's son, Mark - (who is the regional manager for Cheddar's Denver) calls his employees stupid and puts them down every chance he gets. Additionally, Jerome, one of the other manager's told one of his employees that he hates Jews. This occurred when one of his Jewish employees kiddingly said that for the first day of Hanukkah this year that instead of Christmas music they should play Hanukkah music. He did not know she was Jewish when he said, "Why would I do that? I hate Jews!"
I will not patronize Cheddars and will make sure everyone I know hears this information as often as possible. How can they still treat people this way in the 21st century? I overheard these instances on 2 separate occasions. I did work there, and thankfully it never happened to me. But I saw this - and more mistreatment - on a regular basis.
