Something feels very dehumanizing about that. So many people live paycheck to paycheck me included. What me and my S.O. eat and how much we eat becomes a matter of if we can pay our bills afterwards. Meanwhile tens of pounds of fresh chicken and potatoes that could feed a shit ton of people are getting tossed out.

I worked at Cracker Barrel for a year and it was the absolute worst. I once worked a 10 hour shift with a rushed break that lasted maybe 15 minutes. Also there was barely anytime to actually take the stupid tests to get your star and even if you did (at least my location) you weren't given the raise they promised. Also the guests were absolutely horrible to you all the time, before and after their meal. Plus management was so rude and unnecessarily mean, my general manager once made me cry in the store by blaming me for a schedule mistake the retail manager made. All around it was a horrible experience and glad I left.

Y’all, I used to work at a Cracker Barrel, and it was awful. Although I worked retail, they were still constantly pushy and wanted to basically force items among customers, which resulted in no business at all. On top of that, if someone where to “dine and dash” or steal, we’d be the ones to get in trouble, and nothing would be done to that person. I finally quit after being fed up with the treatment. After my car breaking down and having no transportation, I had to call out, which resulted in a fight with a manager and I told them I wasn’t coming back. An absolutely horrible place to work, and if you saw what was happening in the kitchen, you’d never want to eat there again...

No breaks wouldn’t fly in California; Labor Code requires that 10 minute breaks be given if ya work three hours or more and 30 minute meals if ya work five hours or more. Either that or pay them an extra hour not to take them. There’s also waivers that they can have employees sign but from my experience those are usable in rare instances (warehouses on half days, hotel night clerks).

I worked both as a hostess and as a server and really liked both, and it’s been my favorite job I’ve ever had. The no free food is a thing, but the managers give out free biscuits and cornbread and soup sometimes, especially if you’re working a double or it’s a really long shift. And people always ask about the stars. The max is four, and the skill trainers wear the burgundy aprons instead of brown.

Minors get breaks, usually at the most inconvenient times. As for the discounts, we 35% off of retail, plus whatever deals are already going on. We are not allowed to shop while on the clock, we must be clocked out before purchasing any items. It's not the best place but it is not the worst place i have ever worked.

You only weren't allowed to have a break if you worked a three or four hour shift. But the dishwasher who trained me constantly yelled and verbally assaulted me for just doing my job, which is why I left there, but most of the people that still work there I still like there.

Until they started only putting me on for one day a week working three hours, I can barely afford food and gas with that type of wage. Even when I tried asking my general manager if I can get more hours or train for a different position they just pushed it off.

Most of what you stated in this video is wrong. 1. Scratch made food is not the norm. Most comes out of a can or bag. The only things that are fresh are biscuits/cornbread(packaged mix), salads, meat(frozen)/eggs (except egg whites and boiled eggs), and the steamed broccoli. The desserts are made everyday but are prepackaged mixes and to me that isn't from scratch. 2. Rue for gravy... no the gravy comes in a tub and is directly squeezed out of the package into the dip station. It thins as it is heated and is thick at the beginning. If you have thin gravy, it has been sitting there all day. 3. The stars do not give any extra opportunities or benefits. After 30 days everyone across the board no matter your stars has 35% employee discount for retail and food (besides 1 on shift meal.... if you are lucky to eat.) No one except managers and maybe shift leaders gets benefits because everyone is lucky to work 4 hour shifts. This is to keep people from obtaining health insurance. 4. The rocking chairs are popular but retail doesn't make half of what restraunt makes in a day. We are lucky if we sell 1 rocking chair a week. 5. If someone steals we can't even tell the cops. 6. Retail is not 50% off for employees. It is 35% off and can be combined with current sales in the store up to 60% off unless stated by a manager. It doesn't not range anymore depending on your stars since 2018. 7. If you close and they catch you getting free food you will be fired. They bag the biscuits and cornbread and throw them into the freezer at the end of day.

We didn’t get free food. Only 1 or 2 other people would be working & it still wasnt enough for all the dishes. you’d have to stand in fireplace as well while customers eat which gave me anxiety, and my feet hurt so much. i could barely walk after.

I work at a store in Florida, and we are a coastal town meaning we are affected seasonally. Our managers told us to write down our preferred shifts for thanksgiving (our busiest day). This particular thanksgiving is for 2019. I chose morning, before 1 o’clock I requested to be out. I wrote I could work from open to 1 oclock in the afternoon so that I could spend time with my family in the afternoon. I got scheduled from 7 am to 9 pm. I didn’t even leave the place until 11:30 at night. I was there from 7 in the morning till 11:30 at night, an hour and a half after we closed so that I could help clean up the hostess station (I am a host), as well as 2 and a half hours after my scheduled out time and almost 10 and a half hours after I had requested to be off by. I stood at the podium from 12pm to 7pm as the “caller” so that we could call names and get people situated on the wait list. 7 hours of standing at that podium dealing with the “guests” that were angry with the 4 hour wait we had. We had over 120 names at one point, and I tried to explain to the guests that it wasn’t anything I could control and that we would do the best we could to get everyone in as fast as possible. I had no break and I had asked for a 50 percent off meal at the end of my shift, of course since we are not allowed to have anything for free, and was denied one because I had asked after closing time. And of course the next day I had to work 7am to 5:30pm for Black Friday for hosting. Bottom line, they’ll work you hard and won’t do anything to support. I am still employed there, I’m trying to currently search for another job with better pay and benefits.

I was one of the best bread bakers there at that time there can be sabotages from certain servers not notifying me about taking bread to keep up with work flow. There are times when I worked by myself working hard but find fault at what I couldn't do at the moment. Last straw was getting sick while baking bread like crazy and they unnecessarily moved my baking products to the back. That store had me working harder than it's supposed to be.

I don’t recommend ever working there. I was constantly scheduled 12 days in a row working the breakfast and lunch rush alone in dish. I would also get scheduled to close and open the next day, which if you close you would never know when you’d get out of there. Dish could never take a break because just five minutes could set you back half an hour, and you would have to stay over. If you did have a break you weren’t allowed to leave the building either. I finally gave a notice after I got a constricted spine from doing dish alone and I’m only 23. Aside from doing dish, I worked three other positions, and they were all just as bad.

As a server I can tell you this job sucks. No breaks and you will stay 2-3 hours after your "out time". Also they make you roll insane amounts of silverware before they even let you get any tables. The dishes are always dirty and food always goes out incomplete so you'll find yourself apologizing ALL DAY LONG. They expect you to greet your tables within one minute but then triple seat you with one being a party and get mad at you for it. Corporate is always crawling up our asses so tension is always high, we even have servers that cry on shift from the pressure. We do not have drink runners and RARELY have food runners so the servers are stuck with multitasking to point where you feel as if it will never end.

I worked for cracker barrel for 5 years and let me tell you about my experience at store 519. I was a dishwasher now giving that title it wasn't great. Some servers were disrespectful to us. Such as at times when we had to get dishes back they were broken and they didn't say anything. I had my hand cut many times from that. We were low staffed because they could never schedule a dishwasher right. Me personally at times I would be by myself between 2-4 hours while we have 2-3 line cooks, about 7-10 servers, a prep, and a backup cook. That's a lot of dishes coming back and I'm one person doing it all! There's bustubs in certain areas. So for example, say if the bustubs are full some people will call out that there full. But if your one person how can you do that. You have to first take the dishes out the bustub, scub all the food off there, rinse, run them through the machine, stack the dishes, then go all through the restaurant and deliver the dishes. Thats just dishes! There's also pots and pans that needed to be scrubbed, tools that all the cooks need as well as, glasses for cups that needed to be delivered. At time if theres a stack of glasses some servers just took a glass and not a stack. I don't need glasses for guest they do. So wouldn't it benefit them to take glasses to there station. Also at times we didn't have soap so I apologize forgiving people nasty dishes. I was upset all the time for doing that but the managers don't care. I used to walk 3 hours, road a bike in the cold wet rain and only getting paid $10.20. Now that might be fair to you but not me. Other people that I was training were getting paid more than me which that doesn't seem fare. Y'all think that this place is sunshine and rainbows but in the back it's hell. Especially when we close and all the dishes come back at once with 2 people! Yes 2 people for a 3-4 person job. I always felt like a slave. I gave up my time to that place and it sucks. The disrespect from that place is ridiculous! I'm Dirty D and I'll always be a dishwasher. If you want me to explain more I'll tell you about my experience as a backup cook.

One more detail, you don't have cigarette breaks, sometimes it gets so busy you literally don't have time to take a break and everything gets messy, long shifts and they also change your schedule however they want, you can work one day at night and the next one at early morning, I had a big talk with the hiring manager, and the general manager about my availability since I applied for the job and they put me on the schedule for all the wrong days and the wrong times, and then said I never talked to them about my availability. That place is not worth it, you'll be better somewhere else.

And most new dishwashers end up quitting after 3 weeks to a month because they know how bullshit it is. And even cut people off 2 hours early because they can't afford to pay the labor even though we are already understaffed Then complain about us not keeping up with the pace.

I started breaking out on my arms and legs and the managers told me, "Too bad we can't put you anywhere else because it's tough everywhere else you have to stay as dishwasher" My husband also worked there and when he had a problem with another co-worker the managers told him, "She's just trying to assert her Dominance, it's ok" I will NEVER recommend them for eating or working!

I worked there for 2-3 years. Most everything showed up frozen. They often wouldn't pay to have someone making salads or washing dishes, so servers had to. Sometimes servers even had to run the grill. I'd be given old, cold, incorrectly cooked, obviously bad dishes to serve. When I would try to fix it, I would just be told to bring it out and see if they say anything. Many guests that were upset but too polite to admit it left hungry. One of my regulars actually found me at my next restaurant and started complaining to me about the quality of food and lack of empathy from the managers. Example (from his mouth): "This steak is too tough." Manager: "That happens sometimes." That was it. No replacement, no comp, nothing. They went through about 5 general managers in the time I was there. One of them called my girlfriend a dog, mentioning taking her to the vet, because she was vomiting and called out sick. The next manager once pulled me into his office and threatened to fire me (actually did fire me after making up an incident like 2 days later) on a holiday when: -he had given me a custom section that I'd have anywhere from 5-8 tables at a time compared to everyone else's 2-3 -i had just run out another servers 10 top worth of food without being allowed to check it for correctness beforehand because he was working the window. He had forgotten like 3 different guests meals and a bunch of other small things that I had to return for and was still in the middle of correcting, despite my many tables waiting for me. -while grabbing the many things for the 10 top, he asked me to run a tray and I explained to him why I could not at the moment. After his reprimanding, I asked how he'd like me to handle it in the future and he described just what I had done. Despite this and being held in the office for 10-15 minutes, all of my tables still raved about the amazing service they received. A few days later he used a lower level manager who I had known for years to fire me and pretend it was his decision. He used the same manager to fire tons of other long time employees. All of these complaints and more, including being regularly sexually harassed without any resolution, had been reported to corporate offices without any improvement. Cracker barrel is an awful company if they let that kinda thing fly for so long.

I worked there for five years as a dishwasher/busboy. They are constantly trying to either call you in early or call you in on your days off. No matter how slow or busy, the kitchen is always a chaotic apocalypse, with cooks screaming at each other. Think a slightly toned down version of the show Hell's Kitchen. They turn off the lights in the break room during peak hours on weekends, and will write anybody up who tries to take a break during those times. If you're out bussing and it's busy, you're expected to be FAST. There's rarely enough dishwashers on any one shift, so we could be doing three things at once sometimes, which was always a recipe for disaster on busy days. Oh, and in my store, the staff would turn against you on a dime. One day, a server was mysteriously missing their tip from one of their tables, while I was out bussing. Without any evidence whatsoever, they accused me of pocketing their tips. Next thing I know, I'm restricted to the dishroom and over half the store thinks I'm a thief. I almost got fired at least two times because of it. All these years later, I still will never forgive them for that. But I'll always be grateful for the few people who had my back during that time. My advice? Stay away from this place.

you do not get 50% off discount as an employee in the gift shop. It used to be depended on how many stars you had. you got a certain amount of discount for example one to two stars = 25% and, you didn't get 35% until you hit four stars. Now it's 35% for everybody no matter how many stars. The benefit of that is when you find something you like discounted, 'clearance' as long as it's not past 60% you can go ahead and take off your 35% with it. The downside, if you don't get something you like when you see it, you may miss out on correct size that right for you. it may not be there on clearance later on. Meaning you missed out on everything. And since when you work at the gift shop they don't put you on full-time, you only work part-time there, you don't make a lot of money to put a lot of your money back into Cracker Barrel. But it's great as a side job if you want something to do on the weekends away from your regular job

I worked in the store for 4 years. Never got a commission, paid hourly. They are very tight with their raises, also. When new people are hired, many times they are paid 50 cents or more an hour than people who have been there for years. If you get caught talking about your pay, that’s grounds for termination. I found out a woman who was there for 3 months and asked me what 3% of her pay(she told me what she was making, I didn’t ask) was because when she was hired, they told her that would be her raise after 3 months. I had been there for 2 years at that time, and her starting pay was 50 cents an hour more than I was making. I did bring it up to management and I got a dollar an hour raise. They did call the woman in who told me what she was making to verify that I hadn’t asked her how much she was making, otherwise, I would’ve been fired. And once you get past a certain amount of pay, they look for ways to demote or terminate you. Or if the management changed (which it did once in the retail part, and more than a dozen times in the restaurant part in the four years I worked there) they would terminate the highest payed employees so their bonus checks would be bigger because they cut operating costs. Until the last management change I experienced, it actually was a pretty good place to work. I got an employee of the month award with some gift and also a customer excellence service award (only the second one given out in my district). They also have weird rules for socializing outside of work with other employees. I still go there once in awhile. The kitchen at my store was very well run and clean. They have some very good food and wonderful items in their shops.

Yea, you'd be lucky to get a 5 minute break on an 8 hour shift. They also like to give swing shifts to bypass laws regarding long hours without breaks. An example of a swing shift is 5am to 9am then 12pm to 6pm. Apparently this is totally legal. The only thing employees are allowed to have for free is tea and water. The stars are also mostly about pay. If you're not a server you can forget about getting above 3 stars. The cb i work at in mt vernon IL doesnt have a single prep cook or line cook above 2 stars. And our best cook has been there for 15 years. Dishwashers are also treated poorly and underpaid. They like to hire and fire within a few months. Also i know of at least 3 people being paid below minimum wage. Good reasons to make your employees sign no-lawsuit agreements lol

As an employee of Cracker Barrel (on the retail side) I can say it's a job that I deeply hate. You may think "oh you're just a cashier" but we actually deal with both retail and restaurant problems because customers will come up to us and complain about their meal or to-go orders. Whenever I politely explain to them I work in retail and necessarily cant help their problem so I have to call up my restaurant manager , they pull the "I'm calling corporate" move. We get meals at half price and can't even get a break most of the time. Not to mention the stupid strict dress code they have going on.

Record and Journal all your complaints and issues on a daily basis. Time, Incidents, and Issues. And especially NAMES of Employees attached to the complaints. Build your case. Then once EEOC reviews and rules in your favor you have a RIGHT to bring a Lawsuit against Cracker Barrel. I havent checked as of yet but Id put a wager on it that theres a few Lawsuits in progress.
