Honoring
“Uncle Phil”
PHIL DANIEL
CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE NO. 376
FAIRMONT, WEST VIRGINIA
If you’re ever driving through wild, wonderful West Virginia and see a car drive by with a
license plate that reads “ILUVCBRL,” we hope you’ll give Phil Daniel a wave. We can just about guar-
antee that he’ll wave back. Phil is one of our General Managers and perhaps one of the nicest people
you could meet.
It seems to us that any organization would be proud to have someone like Phil working for it. And it’s
not because of the “Phil-isms” he keeps tacked to his wall which say things like, “I am not going to
apologize for having high standards.” Nor is it because Phil truly knows how to take care of guests,
watch costs, and keep high-quality food coming all day long. It’s because employees simply love to be
around Phil—someone who goes out of his way to spend extra time with each and every one of them,
asking nothing in return. The affection his employees feel is probably best summed up when you hear
one of them refer to him as “Uncle Phil.”
Perhaps it’s no surprise that, this year, Phil received an award given in honor of the one person who
always presented himself the way we as a company want to be presented, Uncle Herschel McCarthy,
Cracker Barrel’s first goodwill ambassador. Uncle Herschel’s philosophy was simple: “Treat others as
you’d want to be treated. Be down-to-earth, humble, soft spoken and wear a smile.” And that describes
Phil to a T.
So for ten years of service, ten years of going above and beyond the call of duty, and for ten years of
friendship, caring and support, we’d simply like to say, “WELUVPHL.”
