TikToker Calls Out Former Cracker Barrel Coworkers For Their Secret 'Code Word' For Black People

[Roid Jones]

Cracker Barrel?!

 

[Brer Dog]

This isn't limited to cracker barrel. It's a service industry codeword in general. It comes up in almost every reddit or forum thread about black people and tipping.

I been there with my team for breakfast when I played hoops down south juco..coach use to take us there for breakfast (cracker coach who I don’t fukk with) and the smoked sausage link biscuits were fire but I don’t eat pork anymore lol

Actually the only time I've been there was a breakfast when I played travel basketball in middle school too

Isn’t that the restaurant where they leave a bucket of peanuts on every table and allow people to throw the shells on the floor?

I never really fully understood the tipping system.. becuase I don't eat out lol ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I found this


how much are you supposed to tip ( from google )

15 to 20 percent

For starters, here's a simple rule for restaurant tipping: Leave 15 to 20 percent of the pretax total of your bill. Don't dip below 15 percent unless the service has been abysmal—and never skip a tip. (If a server has been rude or offensive, speak to the manager.)Dec 19, 2018

Is $5 a good tip?


Yes. Even if your order is under $25, tip at least $5.


so are these CAC's saying black people would leave $2 tip on a $25 ???,,,,,, would it be easier if tips were pre-added to the bill/total ???






Also my math game is fukked up,,,, I would be like on a $100 bill trying to calc 15 or 20%

Eat at cracka barrel brehs…

we not going to act like we don’t see the obvious cracker whip extended from the K on the logo

When i was 17, i got a job there and got fired the following week. I hated the vibe of the place, so i bought the edited version of Pac's All Eyez On Me and played it over the speaker system. Manager told me to take my cd, leave my apron and leave the property.

It was refreshing seeing the brehs in there nodding their heads and cutting their panckes to "Ambitionz as a Ridah"

Funny and glad you did that. Anything to make a CAC frustrated and pissed is always to the right way to go

 

[3rdWorld]

nikkas talking about "cracker barrel", there was a thread on here a few years ago and it was the same exact concept but a different restaurant.

A former hostess at Cracker Barrel alleged in a TikTok video that other servers used a code wordwhen referring to Black patrons at the restaurant.

Cracker Barrel is a Southern country-themed comfort food restaurant and store chain based in Tennessee with many of its locations found near Interstate Highway exits in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States.

The chain has long been accused of racism and has a shameful history of firing LGBTQ+ employees.

Kimmie, a.k.a. TikToker @cinnamnhoney, wrote in the caption:

"A waitress used to complain SO MUCH if i sat 'canadians' in her section & i was so confused bc i thought canadians were stereotyped as nice."
In the accompanying video, she revealed the word "Canadian" was code for Black people at the restaurant.

The text overlay for the clip–which had been viewed over 235,000 times since it was posted on March 6–read:

“Me, a hostess at Cracker Barrel, wondering how every employee knew a table was full of Canadians even though they didn’t have a telling accent."


Other TikTokers shared their experiences suggesting there is inherent racism in the service industry in the U.S., especially at Cracker Barrel.

[SupremexKing]

How you working a bullshyt waiter job and still have the audacity to be racist?

all they have going for them is their race.

 

[Dzali OG]

I assume every non- black restaurant (and some black ones) is racist off the top. So I eat at any I choose too.

Restaurant-

Me - Just bring my food and it better not look funny.

Entire country is but you must still function.
