Gary and Roxann Tackett, from Arkansas, had been frequenting the restaurant all summer. They say they had noticed an old, battered vehicle regularly in the parking lot. Gary thought it was abandoned because it was in such bad shape.
The Tacketts asked around the restaurant and were told that the car belonged to one of the employees. The couple decided that something needed to be done and they were going to be the ones to do it.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Tacketts gave Cindi a car.

amen
Amen, FRiend.
No sneering here....
Great story. Thanks for sharing. And bless the waitress for her work ethic!
“When Cindi spotted Gary and Roxann standing near a silver 2008 Ford Fusion with a red bow on it, she was overwhelmed with emotion. She says she had been feeling depressed and had planned to replace her car, which had been damaged by five encounters with deer, but she lacked the money.”
She’s hit five separate deer?
It was a Cracker Barrel restaurant. A lot of people sneer and jeer at those places too.
The Missouri ozarks has almost as many deer as people!
What a wonderful story! God bless these good people!
Is venison on the Cracker Barrel menu?
If she gets three more deer, Santa will have no team to pull his sleigh!
I hope they installed deer horns on the car.

I love the place.
Guess that makes me a hick.
But I’m a hick what’s a lot smarter than them thar libs.
By a long shot!
I like Cracker Barrels too. When your on the road and want to sit down to a hot meal they’re great. Guess I’m just another flyover country hick.
II can attest that those things really work. I've seen the deer stop, look, and skedaddle the opposite way when, normally, they run right at you. They cost less than $10 at any auto parts store and glue right on the grille.
If she can’t miss deer in the road, hopefully she keeps collision insurance on the car and has some cash for deductibles.
Well a liberal couple would have made a small contribution to the ‘preserve the deer from vehicles foundation’ in her name and would have presented her a framed certificate of donor to hang on her wall.
That cost a few bucks.
There’s a TV commercial about a genie popping out of a lamp and granting a wish. The guy asks for a million bucks. He gets his wish, ehehehehehe.
i have them on the harley. works for dogs too
