Cracker Barrel is just a crappy chain with poor service and it's surprising that they're still in business. jethro: You’re right, it’s not racism.

I have received bad service at a restaurant and given bad service unintentionally when I worked at a restaurant. How are you intelligent by assuming it was a racist act? I recently received bad service from Ford. Should I scream reacism? I am a white guy and recieved bad service from white guys. I have also received bad service from black guys. hmmmm... racism? Why is it okay to call a white guy cracker? Is that not racism? Maybe Mrs. Rock should talk to her son about racism, after all he's made millions from being a racist.

For instance, racism. You cant possibly comprehend what Mrs Rock is talking about unless youve been through it. I have had problems from Cracker Barrel on TWO occasions. They were sued by a non race specific branch of the Government. Yes the EOE sued them for discrimination. And theyve had two previous lawsuits. So yes. Some Cracker Barrels are like that. Some other restaurants are like that too. Just because you havent experienced it doesnt mean it hasnt happend. Dont be ignorant be intellegent.

I mean who needs Al Sharpton to sue? She can sue herself, but Mr. Al has had Cracker Barrel in his gun sights for a while. I am not prejucice one bit but it is crap like this that sets the black cause back.

I used to think only white people were dumb enough to pay premium prices for crappy service. I mean, come on ... if I have to wait more than 10 minutes to get Chinese food, I'm freakin' out. Of course, it only takes 8 minutes to stir-fry a dog ... Havard: Beats me, man. I used to think only white people were dumb enough to pay premium prices for crappy service.

Hell, a group I was with was ignored for a good 45 minutes and we were all white. It's not discrimination, it's crappy service. Managers are taught, "If the customer complains, it's free." Did this woman ever think that maybe the manager has enough tact to not call an employee out in front of the entire restaurant? A thirty minute wait at Cracker Barrel?
