Cracker Barrel (“CB”) recently announced with great pride (pun intended) that they have become woke and are implementing customer-facing DEI throughout their restaurant chain, a project that has been in the works for about a year. Proving once more that idealistic leftists are oblivious to anything remotely involving sanity.
The Left never seems to learn. Their DEI agenda is so important that they willingly crater their own businesses. Even Left-leaning news channels and their famous anchors have learned that they are not immune to this effect. I have doubts about the success of this new direction, for a couple of reasons.
1) Woke people who pretend to live healthy lives don't eat there anyway -- you know, because of the biscuits, gravy, fried chicken, calories, fat, etc., where just one glass of sweet tea likely has more calories than they consume in a day. Somehow CB thinks taking the "country" out of Cracker Barrel, removing the old white dude and his barrel from the logo, and making the decor look like a latte cafe will entice them in. (I have a bridge to sell you).
2) Their loyal fans, including me, have no interest in overall DEI wokeness when it is an in-your-face action. Hire whoever you wish, as I don’t care about the proclivities of my server or the cook, so no problem there. But I do care about the thinking of leaders who believe this is a good direction to pursue as a business. I admit I limit my meals there to no more than one per quarter just because I get three days’ worth of calories in one very delicious meal.
CB will lose a big part of their base while not recouping that volume with new customers from the woke mob.

I’ve found some of the best waitresses (yes, I still call them that) at Cracker Barrel. The food has really declined in recent years, though. Quit going in 2020.
Whenever a long-established business like this, with a long cultural history, even HINT at disparaging its heritage and what it has always been, you know it is on the way out.

Especially when they go the faggot route
It’s a last gasp
Agreed
The top right picture is priceless. She even got that tap to go limp.
Only place I can find a Chunky
My sister and I like the clothing for women they sell in the store. I hope their buyer sticks around.
