There seems to be too many pictures, and some of them are not pertinent such as the fireplace and pillow one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.64.54 ( talk) 23:42, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
As Much as I don't like bush and his cronies, the passage about contributing illegal campaign funds has no source, and therefore is just blatant Bush-bashing, and I am going to delete it. Stevo D 18:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The section on name origin is copied word-for-word from the link given (to http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0204/dictionary_men.asp). This section needs to be rewritten. Edgr 12:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
This article is full of folksy talk obviously added by the company to try to invoke some sort of nostalgia in potential customers. While it may be factual, the ways in which it's been worded are equivalent to advertising and it should be re-written.
i understand the racial discrimination content is very important but more information about the stores and the company itself would be useful
I agree. This article is obviously biased against the restaurant, as no mention was made to the good things this place does. I could care less about some gay person getting hurt. Big deal.
This article is Exhibit "A" as to why Wikipedia is a joke. It's not an encyclopedia; it's a sounding board for anyone with an ax to grind. I have many fond memories of Cracker Barrel and love it to this day. I first ate at one back in 1984 as a kid with my family in Nashville when there were only a few of them around. I came to this article looking to read about the history of the chain but nothing there, just a political agenda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.216.160.225 ( talk) 16:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Employees Approx. 150 per store
150??? There can't possibly be more than 20-25 people working any given shift. -

Here is source for the second paragraph in the controversy section. http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&CONTENTID=14783&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm
The article implies there are not vegetarian options, but my wife is a vegetarian and when she goes to cracker barrel she gets the vegetable plate. She does have to be slightly careful because some of the vegetables are cooked in meat juices, but I think it is worth mentioning.

Anti-gay policy actually was issued in 1991 after a customer complaint. Does not mention that 11 were fired and as many as 20 were believed to have been fired under the policy. All is quite amazing for a large modern day American company that is other than a church From the Advicate: Cheryl Summerville worked as a backup cook at a Douglasville, Ga., Cracker Barrel restaurant for nearly three years. And though she says she never made a point of coming out to her coworkers, she didn't hide her sexual orientation either. In fact, she says, she often spoke of her life partner, Sandra Riley, at work, and nobody seemed to mind. Actually, she says, her colleagues regularly asked how Sandra was doing. So Summerville says she was stunned when she learned that Cracker Barrel had issued a memo stating that people who did not demonstrate "normal heterosexual values" could not work for the company. Though she says her immediate manager did not want to fire her, a district manager did. The reason for termination on her separation papers read, "Employee is gay."

I know that in the late nineties, the company closed a lot of stores, especially in the midwest. Now, according to this article, they are adding some again. Can anyone find some more info about the reduction in stores that occured?
The revenue figure here can't be right. $2.3 million in revenue and 65,000 employees? That's $36 in revenue per employee. Elchip ( talk) 01:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC) The revenue figure mentioned in the article says $2.3 billion not million. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.15.90 ( talk) 23:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I just saw an article on Yahoo News seen here which announces Cracker Barrel opening it's first store in Maine. Now I don't know how many stores have been opened since the September 2009 mention in the article, but this brings it up to at least 42 states as of December 2010. -annonymous 12/23/2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.64.8.201 ( talk) 08:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
