Real
hours.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.
I grew up in a city where anybody who is darker than a pencil avoided the hell out of Cracker Barrel. Not just because of the racist clientele, but also because the food sucked.

Aaaaand there it is.
LOL, that corporate performative stuff never meant much as far as being “allies” to anyone.
Will also quietly remove Cracker Barrel from my restaurant possibilities. Okay, maybe not so quietly.
Why was it there to begin with?
They have pretty good breakfast, but would only occasionally eat there.
I can’t abide a breakfast that doesn’t have butter or maple syrup. And they have neither.
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.
Last time I was there they didn’t even have butter. Some margarine crap. And no maple syrup either. Just some crappy high fructose flavored watery stuff.
Just awful. I am surprised you found anything edible.
Where’s RFK Jr when you need him /S
When you’re traveling and you just need to hop off 95 for some food, It’s better and cleaner than Wendy’s, McDonald’s and Burger King.
Face it, the semi-fast food and fast food landscape isn’t the treat it once was.
This has to be on the top 10 dumbest moral panics in history
conservative panics to be exact. just like with the tan suit panic, the djon mustard one, gay and satanic panic, plus aids panic.
You can’t have Cracker Barrel without crackers.
Welp, not goin to cracker barrel ever again.
I demand political purity from my breakfast place.
They could simply have done nothing and no one would be asking them for anything, but now they decided to kneel to bigots.
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?
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.
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.
He must be a Republican Senator with all that touching.
He was touching a barrel, not a child.
…wait, maybe the barrel was very young and asking for it? Damn them young sexy curvy barrels!!
The guy is called the cracker.
another collaborator for the Hague
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.
100% this. From the marketing move they were never going to do, to the reversal and shift in “values”. They were just doing the New Coke gambit to drum up business.
Other things to do, stop paying for streaming services and check out books and DVDs from your local library. Cancel expensive cell plans (since they are, unfortunately partially needed today), and switch to the cheapest MVNO that works. Downgrade home Internet to the minimum tolerable. Don’t upgrade phone, car, tablet, whatever as long as one can hold out. Cancel services like Amazon prime and impulse buy less.
Find local businesses to shop at rather than corporate chains (which can be difficult, so just a little at a time.)
Pay off debts, save, live free. Let the corpos wither.

Seriously, I am relieved every time I don’t get pushback on this… and it’s shocking just how much people hate this message, but we HAVE to start living within our means. We have to stop relying on debt and borrowing from tomorrow, it’s why all of this is so very bad. We fell for the magic, we believed the hype and dazzle and wanted the shiny, good thing now and every time they dangle a new good thing, we want that instead.
Rise above instincts. Return to community, to sports and walking and libraries and hiking and not sharing ANY of it on goddamn social media! Your “unique, rustic lifestyle free from debt” should not be someone’s advertising campaign!
Someone tell Dolly.
Always appease the fascists and far-right nutjobs, then they will totally leave you alone once in power…
Oh, wait. They actually won’t…
