Rose Rock, the mother of comedian Chris Rock, claims she was racially discriminated against when she was seated but ignored for more than a half hour at a Cracker Barrel restaurant along the South Carolina coast.

She needs to sit down and shut up. I got the same level of service last time I was in a Cracker Barrel, too. Does that mean they are discriminating against white men, too?

We waited for over an hour for a waitress to take our order at a Cracker Barrel off of I-40 near Nashville.

Stewart's Ferry or Mt. Juliet? They both have slow service, though Stewart's Ferry is the worst.

I'm thinking he meant you aren't afraid to say what's on your mind. Honestly I thought the same thing. It's a compliment :^)

Speaking of have you seen the new version of that ad with the Planet of the apes guy dressed in his casual active wear in the Airport and he stops to look a the caveman ad then shakes his head in disgust as he walks away? Too funny.

"We waited for over an hour for a waitress to take our order at a Cracker Barrel off of I-40 near Nashville. Then after another 1/2 hour our food still had not arrived so we just got up and left. Stupid to have spent so much time before finally getting fed up."

Heck, the defense should call you as a witness to the slow service!

I too find the food at CB pretty good, especially by interstate restaurant standards. There is usually a wait and the parking lots are nearly full all of the time so most people must agree. All of the other restaurants and fast food joints I have tried off of I-95 are terrible. They are usually very dirty with nasty food and rude or inattentive workers.

I agree with visualops.
I took streetpreachers comment in a good natured way too. No harm was meant.

There are some who speak up in public being rude and inpatient and then others as you did Howlin when it is needed and everyone is glad someone did.

I second that what is a "special people" menu, I am guessing senior, child or diet.

I'm thinking she meant a "special" meal for "special" people who like to sue Denny's. Have you ever been to a website called Bitter Waitress? You don't want to know what they do for "special" customers. In their case it means bad tippers.

Should have pointed out that your response was appropriate given the circumstances...

You have to admit their "yeah right treat us like neandathrals as you humans always do" attitude or parody on racist evolutionaries is very refreshing.

Yep. That was my point entirely. It's not like I haven't been on the receiving end, eh?

And while we're at it "Spic-n-Span" has to go as well.

When I lived in Florida there was a show on cable called "Spic-O-Rama". For real.
