Cracker Barrel Apologizes, Removes ‘Offensive’ Decoration

A customer at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Connecticut called out the establishment’s decorations, highlighting that there appeared to be “nooses on the ceiling.” The restaurant chain has since issued an apology for the decorations.

Cracker Barrel later explained that the “noose” was a wrapped cord which was attached to décor items, but maintained that it was “completely unacceptable” that employees at the establishment failed to note that they looked like nooses before the decorations were put on display.Twitter user Alfonso Robinson posted pictures of the decorations, and captioned the post: “Someone at Cracker Barrel in East Windsor need to explain why there are nooses on the ceiling…”

Cracker Barrel responded to the tweet that same evening, writing that the “noose” decoration was “an original wrapped cord” which belonged to an “antique soldering iron” put on display at the East Windsor restaurant.

The restaurant stated that the item has since been taken down.

Activists arrived at the restaurant and they had a “positive” and “constructive” conversation with restaurant manager Mark Smith, PowerUp-Manchester founder Keren Prescott said.
