I'll be sure to continue my research on this then tomorrow. It is high time Corporations STOP kow-towing to the likes of Queeze Infumesme and his ilk for shaking them down for a few million bucks to line their coffers, because we all know they are not really interested in Civil Rights violations.

Well now! This makes me angry. I worked for the Cracker Barrel for three years in the 80s in Tenn. This is a Tenn. owned company, and yes it reflects the rural early American Southern culture in it's decor and it's food. It's southern soul food to put it bluntly. Yes, as someone has said, it's a tightly run organization. There was never any tolerance for breaking "the rules" of cleanliness or service. The favorite saying was, "if you can lean, you can clean." Sure, because it is such a large organization, there will be isolated incidences of poor service because of human nature, but the quality of food and service is unmatched anywhere in a chain so large. All the food is prepared from scratch. I almost got fired one time for calling a customer "honey" (bad habit). There was never a hint of discrimination against anybody. It is laughable for anyone to suggest such a thing. BTW, the name, Cracker Barrel, comes from the old days when the rural country stores sold loose crackers from barrels. I remember that myself. I suggest that everyone go to their nearest CB and enjoy the best southern (Tennessee) cooking in the world. No canned stuff there. All cooked fresh each day. Enjoy.
