[joshua c]

I was disappointed to recently learn of Cracker Barrel’s longstanding support of queer ideology and their appropriation of God’s “rainbow” design.

[aomagrat]

No one is forcing them. They’re digging willingly.

[BigFreakinToad]

Did you remove the LGBTQ+ rocking chairs from the corporate office?

[philman_36]

Dig deeper, Cassandra. They lose in the end (pun intended) as nobody accepts what they're selling. In 1991 protesters launched a series of boycotts against Cracker Barrel after company policy resulted in the firing of numerous LGBTQ+ employees. The firings and boycotts became national news and eventually grew into a larger debate about shareholder influence on company employment policies and the lack of legal protections for LGBTQ+ workers The queer agenda always loses no matter how hard they try to push it on people. Ask Bud Light.

CB went woke and screwed the pooch. No matter how much they back track they cannot repair the damage without severe reversals.

[philman_36]

See above.

Yep, 20+ years ago when my kids were young Fuddruckers was a great place to take them. Then slowly the prices went up and small changes were made (like no free cookie for the kids with their meal). Now they all closed by me and the closest one to is 500 miles and 3 states away.

I won't believe they are serious until they get rid of the Oreo cookies and bring back the Hydrox ... and return to the original triangle peg scoring verbiage. If they can't manage that, then they aren't sincere and they've taken my last dollar ... ever. And I say that as someone who LOVES Hydrox cookies.

Bottom line(and NOW they have to live with the consequences of):

Cracker Barrel Confederate Statued The OLD WHITE GUY OFF Their Sign

[Revel]

They are determined to dig in just like Bud.

The only logical course is to reverse direction.

[JusPasenThru]

The Cracker Barrel in Shelbyville sux. The one in PSL is pretty decent.

[Retain Mike]

Oh, so true.

[BrexitBen]

That statement undoubtedly came straight from the DEI-HR Dept. at Blackrock, one of the most left-wing corporations on the planet, and a major owner of Cracker Barrel.

Their best option is to sell what’s left of their chain to a non-WOKE entity, with the business savvy to return them to their former glory.

[1Old Pro]

The only logical course is to reverse direction.

And fire the CEO.

[fwdude]

First, fire that beotch you hired to make these woke decisions. Nothing can begin to be forgiven until she is out.

Second, hire someone with a sense of legacy values. Rewind the clock to 15 years ago.

[Red Badger]

The Left never retreats.....................

[fwdude]

I’ve had the same opinion of their food for the past 5+ years. A lot lower quality, much smaller portions, and greatly jacked up prices. 3 strikes and they’re out.

[Hammerhead]

They are screwed because now they would have to spend tens of millions of dollars just to convert them back
