Our new Cracker Barrel finally opened! I went today and yay it's really awesome! It was really crowded, but the food was awesome! I have always loved Cracker Barrel ever since I ate there for the first time in like 2001 when I went to work where the need is great in Kentucky. That was my first experience with the restaurant chain and I fell in love instantly lol. Tonight I got chicken n dumplins, corn, hasbrown casserole and mac n cheese and buttermilk biscuits. On a side note, there were a boatload of gay guys working there. And one who seems to be a manager kept introducing fellow coworkers to a guy he was with that he kept calling "his new husband". Interesting considering In 1991, Cracker Barrel instituted a policy requiring employees to display "normal heterosexual values which have been the foundation of families in our society." Workers were fired because they admitted or were assumed to be gay after the first few months that the policy was created. The company refused to change their policy in the face of protest demonstrations by gay rights groups. After 10 years of proposals by the New York City Employees Retirement System, a major shareholder, the company's shareholders voted 58% in 2002 in favor of rescinding the policy. The board of directors immediately added sexual orientation to the company's nondiscrimination policy. I guess they are trying to change their damaged image? It was pretty obvious lol. But all in all, good food, good service, GREAT location lol and awesome prices. :-)
Now as far as gas prices go... the go down, down, DOWN! Take a look at the line that formed outside one of our gas stations...
... the were tons of people lining up waiting to get gas. Why? Well because just last month as you have seen in previous posts, gas prices were well above $3 a gallon. What are they now? Take a look at the picture below to see! I took that picture as I was leaving Cracker Barrel tonight. And trust me... I wasn't the only one taking pictures of that awesome sight! Look below at the current gas prices here...
... isn't that insanely awesome! Finally something below $2 a gallon! Way below! I'm so excited! If the prices never go down and just stay where they are, I'd be happy... and I haven't said that in YEARS! Yay for the sucky economy! Lol.
