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.

And wild turkeys which can do $1000 damage to a grille.

How long before the IRS sets upon the waitress to collect a gift tax she cannot afford to pay...1...2...3?

She’s hit five separate deer?

That cost a few bucks.

She lacked the doe to make the repairs.

Sometimes you get stuck in a rut.

My Sister and Brother-in-Law spend several months every year in Hungary.

One thing I remember her telling me is that most restaurants there have venison on the menu.

Thanks for posting! Nice to know there’s still many, many people who realize that helping out when you can those who are truly deserving, instead of being duped by race pimps and the other usual suspects into blocking roadways and causing mayhem as some twisted idea of “making a difference”.

TV commercial about a genie popping out of a lamp and granting a wish.

Next time it comes on, pay extra attention to the genie....he's a classic, first with the bored "Vat is yur vish?", then his smug 'be happy for him' look at the result of the million bucks appearing.

Let the sneering and jeering commence.

LOL, I ain't got time fo dat, but I will commence cheering this couple and their gift of giving to others in need.

For the last few years they had a serious problem with deer accidents in Orange Cty, NY as well as the Poconos in PA. Also with wild turkeys. Didn't hit any of them when we lived up there, but soon after we moved down to Hernando Cty in FL my lovely wife had a wild turkey fly her Ford Ranger. Go figure! Fortunately, other than a new grille, no other damage.

Very nice story.......Hopefully Cindi will get some insurance on THIS car........

Beat me to it, Impala. We live in Manhattan, and we like Cracker Barrel too. Of course, for us it takes a road trip to get to one.

Oh, great story too. :)

The closest Cracker Barrel from NYC is in Fishkill, on US 9 just north of I-84

To me the greater gift was the one the Tacketts gave to themselves by their giving.

Right on!
