You are in the wrong forum!

It sounds like a lot of nothing. I eat at Cracker Barrel rather frequently, and yes, sometimes there service sucks. If they offer you a free meal, you take the meal and then write a letter to the GM. You don't go crying to Al Sharpton.
Quote:"He never called over the waitresses and asked, 'Why did these people sit here for a half hour without service?' " she said. "The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."

Then why the hell did you go to the Cracker Barrel? Was it for the ambiance?

The rocking chairs and the big azz checker sets.
I was at an Outback once, and after about 30 minutes, the manager came out and said they had forgotten our orders, and they were just cooking them now.

She apologized and offered us free desserts.

I guess I should've called Al Sharpton, instead.... Oh yeah, I'm white. Nevermind.
I'm with Blah (or maybe its the avatar distracting me... either way), why did she go to Crackel Barrel in the first place.

I know this a free country and all, but CB is the LAST place you'd want to go, even for ambience -- I've never understood my own mother's affection for the place EVEN after we were frowned upon when we visited a CB in Cookeville, TN back in the 90's.

-- back to the matter at hand --

Take the free meal and apology, then move on -- don't call Al Sharpton.

Thank you. I thought it was just me that couldn't stand the place.

Yeah, but that wouldn't propagate the hate and anger, now would it?

I was actually referring to her comment about "neither of us wanted to eat", but your right, the food and white trash ambiance sucks too....

Yours has his beat right now.

I do not use my great mod powers in that way.
