Cracker Barrel Faces Backlash for Denying Service to Special Needs Students
A Cracker Barrel restaurant in Waldorf, Maryland, reportedly refused to serve a group of students with disabilities from Charles County Public Schools during a community field trip, citing unexpected staffing issues. The incident led to public outcry and an apology from Cracker Barrel, which attributed the refusal to operational missteps and poor communication, not the students' capabilities. The company is working with the school to prevent future issues, while other local businesses have offered their venues for future trips.
