Justice Department Says Cracker Barrel Discriminated Against Blacks
May 3, 2004
Within 30 days, each Cracker Barrel store must post in its vestibule a sign that states the following:
- In the spirit of pleasing people, we invite everyone regardless of race, color, disability, or national origin, to enjoy our restaurant and old country store. Since 1969, we have tried our best to provide food and service in ways that uphold our traditions of genuine quality. If you feel we have not delivered on this promise, please let us know. 1-800-333-9566 or www.crackerbarrel.com
Yeah this was written in 2004, a year after Lawrence v. Texas. Fourteen states still had sodomy laws all the way up until 2003.
It actually wasn't illegal to discriminate against gay or trans employees until 2020, with Bostock v. Clayton County. It's still legal in several states to deny housing on the basis of orientation or gender identity.
this is why golden corral is better - they never discriminated and even barely had any division between their smoking section from what I recall as a kid. trudging through the smoking section to reach the ice cream dispenser and rest of the desserts was my personal vietnam as a child. their rolls slap
the hexbear meetup is going to take place at the world's largest Golden Corral in Branson, Missouri
i was chuckling to myself at the notion that it's not the world's largest Golden Corral, but merely the world's largest Golden Corral in Branson, Missouri when i clicked on the link and saw
... with a seating capacity of over 650.
god dam. i would not want to be there during a stampede.
“in the spirit of pleasing people” is such a weird qualifier
What food do they even serve there? Never been my town doesn't have :cracker: bargle.
It's like, all the classic type southern america foods.
They have amazing biscuits from what I remember.
I still maintain that Cracker Barrel is an excellent example of brand nominative determinism
Every one that i've been reluctantly dragged to by my boomer-ass dad is the whitest fuckin place i've ever been to
I remember seeing a very similar blurb on Denny's menus in the mid 90s. I wonder why? Oh, that's right: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/05/24/secret-service-agents-allege-racial-bias-at-dennys/351daede-84db-4091-97a6-b455f0c79a77/
I've also been refused service at a Denny's, but in my case it was due to being highly inebriated and vomiting in the potted plants at 3am
Cracker Barrel's really fallen off lately. Past few times I went, their breakfast items were just disappointing
