Guest yikes Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The servers are also sometimes racist,really attractive, or really sweet older ladies. Cracker barrel employee of 3 years.. Put passion in my biscuits. Racial and sexual discrimination In July 1999, a discrimination lawsuit was filed against Cracker Barrel by a group of former employees, who claimed that the company had discriminated against them on the grounds of race.[59][60] In December 2001, twenty-one of the restaurant's customers, represented by the same attorneys, filed a separate lawsuit, alleging racial discrimination in its treatment of guests.[61][62][63] Regarding both accusations, Cracker Barrel officials disputed the claims and stated that the company was committed to fair treatment of its employees and customers.[60][62][64] In 2004, an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department found evidence that Cracker Barrel had been segregating customer seating by race; seating or serving white customers before seating or serving black customers; providing inferior service to black customers, and allowing white servers to refuse to wait on black customers.[65] The Justice Department determined that the firm had violated Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The company was required to sign a five-year agreement to introduce "effective nondiscrimination policies and procedures". The terms included new equal opportunity training; the creation of a new system to log, investigate and resolve complaints of discrimination; and the publicizing of its non-discrimination policies. They were required to hire an outside auditor to ensure compliance with the terms of the settlement.[66] In 2006, Cracker Barrel paid a $2 million settlement to end a suit alleging race and sexual harassment at three Illinoisrestaurants.[67][68] Cracker Barrel stores subsequently began displaying a sign in the front foyer explaining the company's non-discrimination policy,[65] and added the policy and details of how to make a complaint to its menu and website.[69] Since the early 2000s, Cracker Barrel has provided training and resources to minority employees, to improve its image on diversity. These efforts involved beginning outreach to minority employees, along with testing a training plan to help employees whose first language is Spanish to learn English.[49] As of 2002, minorities made up 23 percent of the company's employees, including over 11 percent of its management and executives.[50] Cracker Barrel is on the Corporate Advisory Board for the Texas Conference of theNational Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP),[70] and is a corporate sponsor of the NAACP Leadership 500 Summit, where three of its officials were moderators and panelists in May 2011.[71] The company has been praised for its gender diversity, particularly on its board of directors, which includes three women out of eleven total board members.[72] Its chief executive officer, Sandra Cochran, is the second woman in Tennessee to hold that office in a publicly traded company.[72] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Biscuits and gravy are one thing I feel English people are truly deprived for not knowing lol Breadquanda is seriously eyeing that plate What the fucking shit is the horrendous mockery of scones? First you're calling them biscuits, then you serve them with fried chicken. Now you're putting gravy on them!? Scones should only be enjoyed with a cup of tea with jam (or some other sort of sweet filling, butter is also acceptable) spread in the middle. We already have enough conflict over the pronunciation of the word scone itself here, we don't need you lot buggering things up! Seriously though thank you both xxx and fiznuthian for clearing that up for me civil war time because butter IS NOT acceptable. clotted cream (and jam, together) Okay, I'll give it to you that clotted cream and jam is the way it SHOULD be done. However if it's between a buttery and a dry scone, then a buttery scone is acceptable. It's also acceptable if you're on a budget too / not of a social status which can be seen enjoying cream teas. wait...wait, whoa no. you do not. you do not.

Guest fiznuthian Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The worst thing about KFC food will undoubtedly be the insane amounts of inflammatory polyunsaturate fats present in their cooking oils and other dishes, just like any other fast food.The chicken is certainly real chicken, just heavily breaded and (pressure?) fried.

baph Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Southern-style "sawmill" gravy has to look disgusting to be good. And it is good. It has chunks of sausage in it, and a milk/flour base. It's obviously terrible for you. Keltoi, you are Scottish, do not even pretend you don't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisRyder Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I've eaten there maybe about 3 times, I'm pretty sure I recall when I was about 14 in my "skate-punk-fuck-the-man" phase, pouring the little tub of baked beans you get into a urinal. sorry. I don't have anything against it, but their food really doesn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest feralkittens Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The whole "chickens without feathers and beaks and feet" urban legend has been around for ages. I remember reading about it in a zine 15 years ago. I don't eat there now because I'm vegan, but I used to love mixing my coleslaw and mashed potatoes together, which is pretty vile. Another KFC urban legend I heard is that hobos eat free at KFC because Col. Sanders used to be a trainhopper himself. I've never looked into the veracity of this and choose to believe it's gospel truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBLA Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Just had me some KFC yesterday! had that boneless chicken that they're advertising lately.
