Chris Rock’s mother is suing Crackle Barrel restaurants for racial discrimination.

The Associated Press is reporting that Rose Rock was seated at a table in a Crackle Barrel restaurant along the North Carolina Coast, but was forgotten about and “ignored” for a half an hour.

Rock says she called over the manager, but all he did was offer her a free meal.

“He never called over the waitresses and asked, `Why did these people sit here for an hour without service? The only thing he said was we could have a free meal and neither of us wanted to eat,” she said.

Cracker Barrel representatives have said they are taking the complaint “very seriously.”

“It has always been a violation of our policies and procedures and it is neither condoned nor allowed. We do not allow the type of behaviour you are describing,” Julie Davis, a spokesperson for the company, said.
