but the other half- welllll. Being a vet should not enter into the whole thing, but still .... Seems like Cracker Barrel could have given him a job in some other capacity. I see their viewpoint but jobs for 73 yr. olds probably aren't that plentiful.

I really believe a person with compassion and a liberal outlook should never take a job where those values are going to be tested. I believe if I worked in such a place and saw a homeless person who was hungry, I would probably slip something into a bag for him and , yes, I would be a thief.
