The Cheesecake Factory faces long waits and social media controversy

The Cheesecake Factory continues to see high demand, with individual cheesecake slices typically priced between $9.95 and $10.95 in most U.S. locations, while whole cheesecakes generally range from $49 to $85.

In Orlando, Florida, a social media video by a couple has sparked controversy after they shared a method to bypass long wait times. The couple claimed they avoid lines by standing near high-top bar tables and staring at seated patrons to make them feel uncomfortable and hurry their departure. The video, which has garnered over 723,000 views, has drawn criticism from viewers who expressed frustration with the tactic.
