I’m not defending Cracker Barrell per se - I am more saying the headline is misleading in how incomplete it is - for blatant emotional reasons - and a lot of Freepers bit on it.
The headline COULD have been “Cracker Barrell Fires Thief After 5 Warnings” - for instance. That would have been over the top in the other direction.
As I’ve said previously, I think the 5 warnings and, particularly, writing up of them, as over the top. If he had been giving away something substantial, the story would have been different and would have gone away. Why don’t we agree to disagree with this? I don’t want to be lectured anymore on my moral lapses by my moral superiors. Not necessarily from you but from other self-righteous types.
