The Reason Cracker Barrel Fired A 73 Year Old Vet Has Many Outraged According to recent reports, Joe Koblenzer, a 73-year-old Vietnam veteran was recently terminated from his job at a Florida Cracker Barrel, after he offered a corn muffin to man who appeared to be homeless. According to Koblenzer, the man entered the restaurant on one of his shifts and asked for mayonnaise and tartar sauce. He gave the man the condiments, and also offered him a corn muffin. He looked a little needy, Koblenzer told reporters, He said he was going to cook a fish. I got it for him. As I walked out I put a corn muffin in. Just a short while later, Koblenzer lost his job, and Cracker Barrel issued a statement about the incident. The company claims that Koblenzer was known for giving away free food. The statement reads: Mr. Koblenzer has worked as a host at Cracker Barrels Sarasota store since April 2011. During the time he was employed, he violated the Companys policies regarding consuming food without paying or giving away free food, on five separate occasions. Mr. Koblenzer received multiple counselings and written warnings reminding him about the companys policies and the consequences associated with violating them. On the fifth occasion, again per Company policy, Mr. Koblenzer was terminated. Still, the company is receiving backlash from the public, which can be viewed on their social media site. Some have even vowed to stop eating at the restaurant, claiming that it does not align with their values. Some are more neutral, claiming that they see both sides of the situation. What do you think of the situation?
