Will also quietly remove Cracker Barrel from my restaurant possibilities. Okay, maybe not so quietly.
LOL, that corporate performative stuff never meant much as far as being "allies" to anyone.
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).
All companies expressing any political meta is pandering.
Any adherence to a political meta isn't a testament of their values, it is a testament of their customers' values.
Companies want the money of their customers' and they will say or do anything they think will keep making them money.
If you think any company supports DEI or LGBTQ issues genuinely, I have a bridge to sell you.
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.
More like a place near highway exits where you can get sit down service. That is really what their market is.
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.
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.
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?
I demand political purity from my breakfast place.
This has to be on the top 10 dumbest moral panics in history
Just watch me as I continue to never go to a cracker barrel ever in my life because of how fucking irrelevant they are. I don't even know where the nearest one to me would be.
Drive down a highway in any area with a decent population and it will be right off the interstate.
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.
The logo change was just an innocuous act of corporate blandness to simplify it. Then people freaked out because somehow a guy leaning on a barrel deeply touched them.
Very funny. Clearly the issue was "woke" and not terrible marketing decisions, and this will fix everything
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.
This is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect from the people that ruined Brad's wife's life.
When do we picket?
Gotta put the pointy hood back on, just so no one sees who you really are. /s
Ah, I see going back to late 90's full blow racism. Looking forward to seeing nooses back as part of their decor then and how we'll they'll do with their only MAGA base.
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.
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.
Corporations shouldn’t be putting that stuff up anyway. They don’t need to act like person and present cultural values.
