So what really happened? What did all these kids do?
Disgusting behavior by cracker barrel staff. There is no excuse for this.
Maybe it was the adults' behavior? Other than through his actions how can you recognize an autistic kid?
The children went wild in the Cracker Barrel store? 🤷🏼♂️
Were the restaurant’s “staffing issues” real or an excuse?
No way to tell.
These days many restaurants really are short-staffed.
So 10 children and 7 adults descended on this joint and expected the same treatment as 4 coming for a meal. It’s a wrong venue fort kids....Pack a lunch and take them to a park.
Well I know the CB near me has almost half the dining room closed, I assume due to staffing.
This is a tough situation and it will be difficult to get a true unemotional POV from either side.
They’re Cracked at cracker barrel
Unfortunately, after seeing the photos I’m wondering if there is more to the story than we are being told.
Well, it’s called Cracker Barrel. They don’t look like crackers to me. 🤣🤣
All I could glean from the article was that their excuse is that they were short staffed.
“the decision had nothing to do with the children’s behavior”
‘A staffing challenge that day led to the closure of part of our second dining room, creating confusion that impacted the group’s experience.’
I still feel we’re not getting a full story here. Not a behavior isse, but rather understaffed? Being understaffed is still workable. We’re missing something.
Did the "rude staff" happen to be White?
Race, disability, sexual harassment...Cracker Barrel has a long and unfortunate history of several discrimination controversies.
I don't see a lawsuit...The word "reasonable" comes to mind. 17 people is not reasonable.
I don’t believe a word of this. Blacks have often claimed racism against CB, and many other restaurants, only to have their own horrid behavior be exposed much later on.
“and they were so well behaved”....says it all...
A nine year old who is unable to speak is severely retarded, yes?
The title of this article is deceptive. Therefore I doubt the story behind the rest of it.
Too much is missing. I think some people want a big discrimination payoff.
Okay, read the excerpt. I’m not going to daily mail. My guess is the group didn’t explain how many were in the party and what they may need in the way of special attention when they asked about needing reservations. When they arrived, they couldn’t seat the entire party and had to wait for other customers in line. Or they could get to-go orders. The group leaders were expressly unhappy and that is what drew the ban from the manager. Then used the kids as pawns when telling their story to the press.
If you read between the lines the restaurant said come on in but when the class trip arrived they only had half the dining room staffed and couldn’t seat them all.
My interpretation is you had some Karen chaperones got upset. If they had actual quotes/proof they don’t tell that to the report. Just a buncha “I felt, they were rude” emotional quotes.
