    I wore my OD green buzzkidder canvas in the Cracker Barrell in Gallup, NM on our trip home from Flagstaff. I got basically the same reaction.

    Haven't done the Cracker Barrel thing yet, but I've gotten this reaction from such places as truck stops and the barbecue place near our house.

    I get a kick out of watching the reaction of "<warning.... not understanding... system shut down is imminent... >"

    I'm in and out of the local Cracker Barrel at least once a week.pbperssons post made me realize that I'm at the point where I'm 100% comfortable with being kilted. It's the norm for me.And I don't pay much attention to peoples reactions around me.

    I've been to Cracker Barrel several times while kilted. I don't pay any attention to whether people are staring or not, if they are it's their problem, not mine. On the other hand, I've had several nice conversations with people who asked about the kilt and the tartan. The most negative comment I had was from a young black waitress who said, "I really like your skirt". I told her it was a kilt and I wore it because it honored my Scott Irish ancestors and because it was comfortable. Then he made this retired old fart's day, when she came back with, "I don't care what you call it, it is sexy".
    "A day spent in the fields and woods, or on the water should not count as a day off our allotted number upon this earth."

    Talking A long, long time ago!!

    I have not been in a real cracker barrel store since the mid 1940s. It belonged to my aunt and uncle and also was the post office.In Umpqua, Or.
    I was only a child then and kilts had not been invented yet.

    The CrackerBarrel I was in a few years ago seemd to be more restaurant than store. Sadly, I didn't even own a kilt at the time.
