The restaurant chain attributed the mess-up to staffing challenges, saying refusal of service was unrelated to the students' abilities.
Cracker Barrel has apologized after its Waldorf, Maryland, restaurant refused to serve a group of students with special needs last week.The Lebanon, Tennessee-based restaurant chain said that its inability to accommodate the party was unrelated to the students' abilities, but that the situation was nonetheless 'unfortunate.
In a public letter posted Thursday, Charles County Public Schools superintendent Maria Navarro alleged that a group of 11 students and seven faculty visited Cracker Barrel in Waldorf as part of an organized outing and was 'refused service.' The visit was part of programming that aims to help students with special needs practice skills they learn in the classroom in real-life settings within the community, including at local restaurants and retail establishments.
