I’ve Been To Cracker Barrel 100’s of Times, But Never Knew This

If you’ve ever been in a Cracker Barrel restaurant, you know that all the restaurants in this chain offer the same theme and consistently good food regardless of the location. It has an old-timey atmosphere that most of us love.
But even if you are a regular visitor, there are likely things that you probably have never noticed about all of the locations.

There are certain things that every single location has in common.

For example, every single location has walls that are decorated to enhance the country charm.

There are tons of things scattered across the walls. But did you know that all of them have the exact same items in the exact same locations?

Every location has an antique ox yoke and a horseshoe over the front door.

When walking up to the door, you’ll see a row of rocking chairs to relax in while you’re waiting for your spot inside.

 

The chairs are all handmade in the U.S., and are all for sale.

Outside of every bathroom in a Cracker Barrel is a traffic light too.

You’ll also find an oversized checkerboard set up on top of a cracker barrel.

It’s a throwback to the days where patrons would stand around the barrel munching and having small talk.

According to Cracker Barrel, each store has some 1,000 decor items. Can you just imagine having to figure out where they all go when a new location is opened?

Not only can you buy some of the decor and treats in the store at Cracker Barrel, but you can buy many of them online at their website. Who knew?

Be sure to share this story with your family and friends. You know you’re going to look the next time you go.

I FOUND A NOTE ON MY CAR—AND WHAT IT SAID MADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD I was just going about my day, running errands like usual. The parking lot was half-empty when I got back to my car, nothing seemed out of place—until I saw it. A folded piece of paper wedged under my windshield wiper. I almost ignored it, assuming it was a flyer or some advertisement, but something about the way it was hurriedly folded made me stop. I opened it, and as I read the first line, my heart started pounding. “Hi, I’m just letting you know that there was some guy looking into your car…” My eyes darted around the parking lot. Was someone still watching? I kept reading. Two strangers had noticed the guy, pretended my car was theirs, and scared him off. They even called security. I exhaled, gripping the note a little tighter. I thought back—had I locked my doors? Was anything missing? And then a terrifying thought hit me. What if he hadn’t just been looking inside? What if he had been waiting for me to come back? ⬇ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)

I TOOK THE TRAIN TO CLEAR MY HEAD—AND SAT ACROSS FROM A DOG WHO KNEW TOO MUCH I wasn’t supposed to be on that train. I’d booked the trip last minute, after a night of crying in my car outside my ex’s apartment. I’d promised myself I wouldn’t go back to him again—but I almost did. So I packed a bag, grabbed the first ticket out of town, and told myself I just needed air. A change of scenery. Something other than the swirl of regret and second-guessing. And then I saw the dog. A golden retriever, sitting straight up like he belonged there more than I did. One paw on the table, tail draped elegantly over the seat like this was his usual commute. His owner looked relaxed, sipping coffee and chatting softly to the woman across the aisle. But the dog—he looked at me. I mean really looked. Head tilt, ears perked, eyes locked on mine. I couldn’t help but smile. “He’s very social,” the guy said, like that explained it. I nodded, but I kept staring. There was something weirdly comforting about the way the dog held eye contact. Like he knew I was hanging on by a thread. Like he’d seen a hundred women in my exact state—heart cracked open, pretending they were just going somewhere casual. And then he did it. He stood up, padded over, and rested his chin on my leg. I froze. His person looked startled, like this wasn’t normal behavior. But the dog didn’t care. He just looked up at me like, Yeah, I know. It’s okay. I don’t know what came over me, but I started talking—to the dog. Quietly. I told him everything I hadn’t told anyone else. The cheating. The guilt. The shame of not leaving sooner. And when we pulled into the station, his owner asked me something that caught me completely off guard. (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)
