Look around a lot of businesses are grasping at straws. They are offering specials and discounts galore, unless it is beef, produce, electronics or foreign imports. The logo change was a cry of desperation. Unfortunately they will lose business no matter what now.
I loathe Cracker Barrel.
Why? I’m a Southerner that knows Southern food, knows what a good, family resturant is, or in some town’s cases, was, and I blame them for the systematic deletion of small family restaurants across the South.
Make the food good enough and intice people with fake antiques and candy and you too can run everyone out of business with tacky crap in place of anything anyone would consider soul.
Ugh, fuck them. So tacky, fake and greedy. I feel wrong being in one, like oil and water.
Always appease the fascists and far-right nutjobs, then they will totally leave you alone once in power…
Oh, wait. They actually won’t…
This is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect from the people that ruined Brad’s wife’s life.
Oof, deep cut
LOL, that corporate performative stuff never meant much as far as being “allies” to anyone.
No, but it sure is telling recinding those policies at this time.
I’ve always associated cracker barrel with “angry old white people who think black pepper is spicy” and their meaner variant, the post-church crowd. so… not particularly surprised?
Yeah, I’m more surprised they had any sort of DEI language to begin with (of course it was clearly just pandering, so).
Lol, I went to some chain and got the chicken Alfredo, the guy warns me it’s a bit spicy. I tell him no worries, bring it on. The thing has like 6 flakes of red pepper on it. I figured he had to warn me bc some Karen complained.
Real
hours.They’re doing this JUST to raise attention and get media coverage, as a dying brand that nobody cared about.
There are no more social consequences in the US, as long as you’re making someone angry, you’re getting attention and thus winning. That’s what all of this is, and why all of our political strategies have to change.
The biggest thing you can do to stop corporations from gutting out every last avenue of communication and political action is to simply stop spending money on them. Stop getting doordash and takeout, learn to make your own food. Stop getting coffee and spending money on excesses like games and movies.
Start hoarding the wealth away from the liches and monsters who look at literally everything you do as a money-making opportunity. Dry up the flow of blood and they will start to starve and this will force them to take actions, to kick out their employees in the government and restructure management in desperate attempts to keep line going up.
Anyone who has ever worked in a kitchen or as a server knows that they are wall-to-wall queer-friendly. If Cracker Barrel has trouble now keeping things staffed (they will), this is why.
Kitchen people are often woke af because they have had to be to survive.
Why does anyone give a fuck about this shit restaurant…
For me, it’s because they’re cool with travelers staying a night, and the food is good enough.
Because the food is good.
It most certainly isn’t near good
No it isnt

Even after they kowtowed to the right?
Don’t even joke like it wasn’t universally disliked, I didn’t care about the logo change, it’s plain and boring in comparison but idrc. I eat there sometimes as the food is good.
You’re falling for the propaganda that Trump made it happen or it was somehow against wokeness.

No. I’m strictly speaking about their actions. The only people who got upset by the logo change are snowflakes.
You’re specifically saying the company cow towed to the right, when in fact it was universally disliked, it’s just that right wing people cared way more and complained much louder.
Dying restaurant flails wildly to try and recapture relevancy oozing away from it like blood from a stuck, bloated corpse.
Yeah, I don’t really think they were doing very well even before the poutrage over the logo.
“Poutrage”. Lol, I’ve gotta remember that one
Will also quietly remove Cracker Barrel from my restaurant possibilities. Okay, maybe not so quietly.
Why was it there to begin with?
They’ve got decent catfish, potatoes, biscuits with apple butter.
Haven’t been in a couple years maybe, but it was good in a pinch & with a variety of food that you can get most people in a group to agree on.
Those strawberry cheesecake pancakes are so good. I don’t think I’ve tasted anything better.
They have pretty good breakfast, but would only occasionally eat there.
Very funny. Clearly the issue was “woke” and not terrible marketing decisions, and this will fix everything
Pussies.
Hey guys, people didn’t like the logo change. Maybe we try to get MAGA people in here?
Pretty sure the MAGA crowd was always their biggest user base. This smells more like ‘maybe if we double down, they’ll forget about the logo and come in more’.
I still find it hilarious that people think the logo change was “woke”.
What do words even mean any more?
Oh that’s easy, woke is when uninspiring logo design
In reality: woke = having social empathy.
In their world: woke = whatever I don’t like.
Smells more like “lets manufacture some kind of fake outrage to stir up conversation and get our brand name back out there” and of course the country’s stupidest segment eats it up.
