Some have stated they think this is intentional to kill the business and then somebody (Blackrock) comes in and buys the real eatate.
In some cases I’m thinking the CEOs are not tone deaf, but flaming anti American liberals willing to burn down their companies “for the cause”.
That’s why they killed Red Lobster. The land was more valuable than the restaurants.
Was reading about Vegas losing tourists and a person was complaining that all the themed casinos were slowly being replaced by nondescript glass towers for rich clients. I don’t know if Cracker Barrel went “woke” I do know they are the victim to current trend of making everything as dull as possible.
Can’t have anything fun or kitsch unless its done ironically. Everything must be dull grey or look like an apple store.
The old saying: “A pic is worth a thousand words”. Well, that one pretty much sums it up for this fiasco....
Hmmmm. What if someone had a date with Sydney, but would have to take Gretchen along, as the two are a package deal. That would be a tough decision.
“ And yet companies keep going there. Corporate managers, it turns out, are a politically and socially tone-deaf bunch.”
They can’t be that tone deaf. There has to be another factor
From movie “The Jerk”: “So, it’s a profit motive” !
It is always money related.
Many Cracker barrel restaurants sit on valuable land, because they established themselves on what used to be the outskirts.
So what will you replace it with off the interstate? Bob Evans? Waffle House? Another gas station?
I’m convinced that was the conscious plan with Disney. Plan A was to twist and pervert everything it previously stood for, actually turning it into a vehicle for perverting young children, but if enough people rose up and pushed back Plan B was to ignore them and keep pushing the garbage they hated so they they themselves would eventually destroy the company.
Their highest priority was to pervert good, wholesome companies, thereby denying normal Americans what they had previously enjoyed, but they are equally happy to just tick off those people to the point that THEY destroy the company, similarly denying themselves access to what that company was before. It’s literally demonic.
That’s for Blackrock, I guess, to figure out.
> They can’t be that tone deaf. There has to be another factor <
My guess is that no one on the board wants to be called a racist or a hater. So for example, one board member comes up with a woke idea: “Let’s hire a transsexual to be our beer spokesperson.”
Everyone else knows what a stupid idea that is. But they are afraid to speak up. End result? The woke idea becomes policy.
Add Gillette Razors, and Jaguar vehicles, to that WOKE-wall-of-shame.
Question. Could they admit their mistake and go back to the old way? Would the customers forgive and come back en masse as a middle finger to the woke crowd?
The food complaints would have to be dealt with but when employees diss the bosses it sounds like a sick brand. I’ve heard about their overnight parking for campers. Southern charm-they should be proud and unapologetic.
Larry Fink, of Blackrock, bragged that social changes and objectives would be tied to market access to capital. As did Vanguard, Fidelity, and venture capital banks. They even created a scoring system for compliance. Unfortunately the score had nothing to do with financial performance or stability.
The only thing wrong with the sign is it’s boring. It’s stunning how easy people’s lives are that this sign is destroying their lives.
