Just sneakin' around....
Many times tables are left open simply because there is no server to take care of that table. It probably wasn't your initial server's table and she was unsure if there was someone available.

Damned glad to meet you
Thought of that also, but the table had just been cleared, and she (the hostess) just didn't want to go look.

One of the news channels, NBC I think, reported that the restaurant was critically understaffed the day the kids showed up. Cracker Barrel has issued an apology and invited the class to dine at that facility. I still think there is more to the story that we havent heard yet. Does anyone remember the woman who accused a restaurant of not seating her and her son in the main dining room because they were black? Well that wasnt the case at all, there was a sign on the door that said "No Shorts in the dining room"...guess who was wearing shorts...her son. They were offered a table on the outside patio, but no...Momma wanted to sit in the dining room.
What about the managers attitude? Comments on the socials indicate she is like that all the time.

See, that's the sort of thing I'm happy to kick in for. It's illegal aliens and foreign countries and their bullshit wars, not to mention corrupt politician kickbacks, that I don't want to fund. I'm fine with helping some special needs person have a field trip.

Good lord. This is why I loathe activists and the media, because this sht takes on a life of its own. I hate to say this, but at least it's Cracker Barrel and not some local mom and pop being targeted like this. CB can weather the storm but mom/pop would almost certainly have to close their doors.
Also complaining that it took an hour to put together 17 go-orders, do they think cooked food just magically appears? Or that the other customers disappear?
Read the comments in the Daily Mail story - they are surprisingly reasonable.

They've been getting bad reviews long before this.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Yup. Bunch of perpetually entitled black victims looking for the virtue signalers to come to their rescue.

Community Outrage After Waldorf Cracker Barrel Denies Service To Students With Disabilities - The BayNet
Students with disabilities from Dr. James Craik Elementary were reportedly denied service at the Waldorf Cracker Barrel, sparking community outrage and calls for accountability.thebaynet.com
I'm curious why. Is the manager just an incompetent jerk or is there more to the story? This jumped out at me:
Yeah, that's not how it works. The world doesn't stop for an individual, it's up to the individual to navigate life and meet their own challenges.
Anyway, no comment from the manager who made this decision and no doubt corporate has told her to stay out of it and their lawyers will take over. My guess is the students were disruptive, which is understandable and probably to be expected, and staff didn't want to deal with it.
That seems foolish to me. Of course if a large group is coming in - especially when they will have special needs - you'd want a heads up so you can make arrangements for them. Maybe there's a party room for them, or put them in a more secluded area with fewer triggers and distractions. But I'm guessing we're not talking about the cream of the employment crop here and it also sounds like whoever arranged this outing wasn't as detail oriented as perhaps they should be.
For the last 20 years, I've said many times that there is no business in Southern Maryland doing so well that the local talent can't f*ck it up.
