In reply to the discussion: Cracker Barrel Employee Confirms Suspicions The Staff Has A Code Word For Certain Types Of Customers [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,824 posts)There was a TikTok from about a year ago, claiming that Cracker Barrell used a code word for Blacks (that one was "Canadian"
.
Now there's another round, claiming that Cracker Barrell uses a more offensive code word - not only that - but a common racist term which is so obvious it wouldn't need to be exposed by a single employee. Within a week of starting to use it, someone would have overheard it and widely reported it.
Smacks way too much of things we believe because we want them to be true. Frankly, I can't imagine it is. Not because Cracker Barrell doesn't have a racist history - but because the word is such an obvious reference to blacks that it would have been identified for what it was and publicized in a more believable format than a single employee on TikTok, especially since the earlier accusation was reported nationally (and as near as I can find) was not confirmed.
