I agree, yale. You don't generally have signs posted everywhere for employees. As you noted, it makes no sense. What are they gonna do? Rip the spine out of an employee handbook and plaster the pages all over the door, facing out?
That said, there could, I guess, possibly be another reason - and his reference in both emails about "it's for employees but I can't get into why" may be an indicator thereof. It's a bit odd that he said that, twice, and it makes me wonder if there was a particular incident of an employee having (a) weapon(s), and maybe he was fired and tried to fight it, or they "couldn't" fire him and wanted to, possibly based on the employee saying "I didn't know it was against the rules". Then, counsel may have advised this step. It's a real stretch at best, but that "I can't get into why" seems so odd, even once...said twice, it's, well, at least twice as odd.
Now, I know that Louisiana is an employment-at-will state, and they can fire an employee as easy as the employee can quit (unless discrimination against a "protected class" was involved), and I can't even start to imagine Cracker Barrel employees being union hands, but still, his comments seemed strange, maybe like an employee walked in armed and was "caught" before clocking in or something...I don't know...it's weird at best.
