Why are all these women wearing Clark Kent man-glasses? Great Cesar's ghost!!! I'd prefer they wear "cats-eyes" lunettes.

Local op’s entryway is jammed with merchandise in the way of customers seeking a decent meal - who also can barely hear each other over THE VERY LOUD MUSIC.

Quality control of kitchen output is POOR. Wide variation between any two dinner plates of the same entre/meal. High rate of failing to cook meat, chicken, bacon.

I enjoy Cracker Barrel. I appreciate their Americana theme but have never bought anything other than meals.

I think they can still be relevant. Above all else, make sure the meals are tasty and reasonably priced.

Appeal to adults. Not to kids. Kids should be welcome but keeping the atmosphere a bit stodgy discourages bad behaviour. I like them because I see them as “ports in the storm” with good food.

...I inow. Nothing beats home and nothing ever will. Like I said, I like them. I think America needs a solid restaurant chain. Stay out if the big cities. Choose safe suburbs to open restaurants.

I’ve never even seen a ‘cracker barrel’ restaurant... I guess they aren’t in Cali?

Poor communication skills. You never knock your own products and services publicly. You can recognize your areas of improvement, create new products and services and promote them to bring customers back.

Or maybe she gets stock options that will vest if she can bring the stock price back up in 5 years, in which case knock it down now and build it back up and stuff your pockets.

DEI in executive row. A photogenic female. Reminds me of Bud Lite. There is a reason why experience matters.

Cracker Barrel has always struck me as expensive, and I never liked half the building being loaded up with overpriced trinkets that they tried to peddle while you were waiting. I remember adding a side of carrots adding $2.50 to the bill before the pandemic. The food was fine, however.

People don’t do sit down meals like they used to.

Our family does sit down meals together ALL the time. It's one of the great things about being a family.

“chief executive Julie...Never a good sign.”

Generally the case, but she appears “not guilty” - however, I haven’t been able to tell whether she has a husband or a ‘partner’.

Funny, sounds like the CEO doesn’t give a damn about Cracker barrel.

Poor leadership at the top. Smack talking your own company is a loser. She needs to go away.

I’m meaning restaurant-wise. They wouldn’t be going out of business like they are if people were sitting down in a restaurant like they used to.

My thoughts exactly

They all jumped onboard with the Godless Reprobate Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

Then they act surprised when traditional Americans don't want any part of their Woke agenda.

All according to plan.

Rainbow White House happened in 2015
