Chris Rock's Mom in Cracker Barrel Discrimination Feud

Chris Rock’s mother announced she plans to sue the southern-based restaurant Cracker Barrel. Rose Rock claimed she faced racial discrimination during a recent trip to one of the restaurant’s franchises in South Carolina. What, you might ask, caused Ms. Rock to feel discriminated against? She said the hostess seated her upon her arrival, but then the wait staff ignored her for the next half hour.
Rock, who is from Georgetown, said she and her 21-year-old daughter were the only blacks at the chain's Murrells Inlet restaurant in April. She said when she asked the manager about the delay she was told they could have a free meal.

"He never called over the waitresses and asked, `Why did these people sit here for an hour without service?'" she said. "The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat."
Cracker Barrel claimed they are taking the complaint "very seriously," and plan to investigate it fully.
Cracker Barrel spokeswoman Julie Davis said the company doesn't "tolerate any form of discrimination."

"It has always been a violation of our policies and procedures and it is neither condoned nor allowed," she said. "We do not allow the type of behavior you are describing," Davis said.
Although Cracker Barrel doesn’t tolerate discrimination, the company recently defended itself against a federal inquiry focusing claims it refused service to black customers, and discriminated against black and gay employees.

Shooting straight to the top, Rose Rock contacted the Rev. Al Sharpton.
The Rev. Al Sharpton will join Rock on Wednesday in South Carolina to announce that Sharpton's Action Network will finance the planned lawsuit.

"I'm getting reports from all over the country about Cracker Barrel," Sharpton said from New York on Tuesday.

Good way to spend your time while the waitress is ignoring you.
