Seeing the CEO answers a lot of questions.

CB used to be a relatively inexpensive, decent family meal, with traditional stuff that you went back for. Much of the traditional stuff is gone, replaced by trendy stuff that only those that wouldn’t be caught dead in a CB would eat. The traditional items left are way more expensive and the quality has gone way down - for example, their hamburger steak used to taste like sirloin steak, now tastes like a hamburger pattie. The Friday fish fry used to be cod, now an unnamed “white fish”.

I have it on good authority from a former CB employee that one of their problems is that they don’t pay well. So new cooks are constantly coming in as the previous ones move on to greener pastures, and the food quality suffers as a result.

Still a good place to get breakfast, but anything else has gone way down hill.

If the big wigs in the company don’t care, them turn it over to someone who gives a sh!t.

I like the place, even though they don’t have hash.

They need to do something about the quality of their food. Last couple of times I went to CB, I was not impressed.

We go to restaurants a together a lot. We enjoy each other’s company. We also eat meals together at home.

Maybe stop selling all the trashy kitsch in the stores. And clean up the restrooms. They’re filthy, and didn’t use to be.

Fauci and friends destroyed all that.

And by using our tax dollars to do it.

When I wear these glasses I feel so, you know, intellectual. They’re just plain, not prescription.

Fake Glasses: Everything You Need to Know About the Trend

Wearing fake glasses has never been more popular. The fake glasses trend is exactly what it sounds like: folks who don’t need corrective lenses are donning eyewear as a fashion accessory and making a bold style statement.

Depending on the style you select, a pair of fake reading glasses can make you look smart, cool, hardworking, industrious, mindful, and honest. Fake glasses are a great way to express your individuality and your personal style, adding a unique final touch to your look. Fake glasses for women and for men are a top fashion consideration.

This women has no business running a brand such as Cracker Barrel. If she does not understand the brand, she should step down. Cracker Barrel is a great brand. It could use a bit of updating. It could sell Keto Dishes. It could add new things to its store. It has a great breakfast. It just needs to modernize a bit. Be a little less carby.

Do they actually ‘teach’ dumbass in business school these days, or is this yet more evidence of the ‘true pandemic’???

There’s a substantial amount of idiocy in corporate America these days.

Cracker Barrel managed to offend many of its customers several years ago when it pulled a number of Duck Dynasty products from their gift shops. They said they pulled the products because they did not want to offend their customers due to “anti-gay” comments made by one of the stars of the show. However, many customers were angry about the products being removed from the shops. Within a short time, CrackBarrel reversed its decision and put the products back in the stores.

In “Idiocracy” he would have been the corporate destroyer.

In our Idiocracy Reality, he actually is.

I wonder what the stockholders make of this. Or the FTC. Doesn’t she have a responsibility to maximize profitability? I mean, I know, she’s a girl, and girls can just do whatever the hell they want, but still.

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

In the 80’s there was one east of Sacramento near Lake Folsom. That was the only one around until we roamed around the South. Decent place.

“She looks like she is wearing the glasses with the fake nose (which would be appropriate).”


And they’ll keep on functioning like this. They’ll gather those around them that validate and agree with them–these people are prizes to them because they support their special view of themselves. So they’ll rally their minions, and they’ll all agree with one another, creating a mean little clique that feeds off each other’s negativity and cruelty. They have to. It’s how they survive. And it’s how they will undoubtedly function throughout their lives, unless they do some serious soul searching.
