Didn’t they notice what happened to Bud light and numerous others?
Girl Boss.
Cracker Barrel food is substandard. They need a new recipe. They got a recipe for disaster.
lol. Ms. Black Glasses was all excited.
BTTT
Let me rephrase that...
Women make terrible CEOs. They are too concerned about Virtue Grandstanding.
Cracker Barrel’s first mistake was hiring a broad with dyed blonde hair and big, black glasses that are usually just for show, who wears all black and thinks she’s a girl boss and the best thing since free abortions.
These wimyn in business are a disaster wherever they are found.
Anyone think I’m wrong there?
I believe many of these sorority hires fancy themselves some kind of witch, also.
Any restaurant not just Cracker Barrel only has a few things to be concerned with, serving quality food at a reasonable price, in facility that is clean and welcoming.
When you hear about anything else then it’s a waste of time and money. This particular CEO totally overlooked the basics and was on a mission to advance an woke agenda has failed spectacularly.
You don’t take a brand that has been successful for many years and throw out everything the company was built on.
We have a whole generation of people with bachelors degrees in things like “communication” who come out of college knowing everything, and who don’t need to listen to anyone. This is the result. It won’t be the last one either.
Bkmk
If your portfolio contains a stock that hires a progressive Democrat woman as their CEO, sell it immediately. Also if it is a man who has donated consistently to democrats sell as well.
“The first of “five pillars” in the plan would be “refining” and “evolving the brand across all touchpoints.”
In a single sentence we find everything wrong with the American MBA. Language must be meaningless convoluted and lacking content. What the hell does that mean? Just a word salad Kamala Harris could be proud of.
Corporate gobbledygook indeed.
Throughout history there have been differing opinions. Sometimes the opinion adopted is the better one. Sometimes it is the worse one. Sometimes the better one seems obvious. Sometimes it seem tweedle dee vs tweedle dum.
In early 1990s Martinez had the right vision for Sears. But Asst VPs ran Sears and they obstructed the vision of Martinez at every step.
I went into Discover as a consultant to solve one very expensive job. It turned out a chain of employees and consultant prior to me had given good advice and been fired. By pure coincidence, the management that brought me in was canned 1 hour after contracting for me. The new management accepted the solution I provided, but which was not unique from me.
At State Farm I advised that the plan of a DBA for table design would be disastrous, even for the pilot in Florida. My advice was not followed. State Farm lost millions on the project. Eventually they brought in outside experts which agreed with me. (Actually I agreed with them from the beginning.) But the DBA who made the big mistake, and whose competennce could be questioned, was not canned.
At United Insurance the manager of a critical project with short time line managed in a ruthless manner. I made a recommendation that cut the workload to 1 20th of the planned. The manager accepted my recommendation and came is far under budget and far under the deadline.
How does management know when it is getting good advice to follow and when the advice is lousy advice?
How do you change a Sears has so many levels of management?
OK. The Cracker Barrel obsession of the week has run its course. Time to shelve it and prepare for the next blog/video-induced sensation.
What does a corporate wonk know about preparing enjoyable food and hospitality on both the small and large scale? The whole management team, except for the dissenters, should be fired.
Transformation: (but too boring for these young gals that want to make their mark)
1) Increase food quality and be conscientious about pricing
2) Increase Service quality, ensure proper staffing.

When she started using clueless management speak like this she should have been fired immediately before she could do any real damage to the company brand.
