Vietnam veteran Joe Koblenzer had worked as a greeter at Cracker Barrel for three years before he was fired for handing a man who "looked a little needy" the muffin.
The unidentified man came through the door and "asked [if] I had any mayonnaise and some tartar sauce," Koblenzer said. "He said he was going to cook a fish."
"I got it for him. As I walked out I put a corn muffin in" the same bag. Shortly thereafter, the restaurant's general manager called him into his office and said he was fired.
The restaurant released a statement claiming that the general manager fired him because he was a serial offender.
"During the time he was employed, he violated the Company's policies regarding consuming food without paying or giving away free food, on five separate occasions," the statement read. "Mr. Koblenzer received multiple counselings and written warnings reminding him about the company's polices and the consequences associated with violating them. On the fifth occasion, again per Company policy, Mr. Koblenzer was terminated."
The same day news of the Vietnam veteran's firing began to spread, Cracker Barrel posted the following on Facebook:

Love the ad... isn't this one of those mall stores? Selling cheese or some such smelly stuff? At least they repeatedly warned this evil doer not to help others unless approved by corporate HQ, which his acts certainly were not. The whole goal of selling crap to people who don't need it is to keep them under control and rolling in the muck of personal consumption... obviously this guy was thinking for himself and a threat to the system, not just the corporation. It's a good thing there are plenty of stupid crackers willing to buy this crap from the House of Crackers, else where would our empire be? No doubt, already in the grave instead of only 'mostly in' as we presently are... thanks to game theory for that.
