On Sunday, just two days after announcing it would be pulling some Duck Dynasty products featuring Phil Robertson from its stores, Cracker Barrel announced that it had reversed itself and would reinstate all Duck Dynasty products. In an announcement via Twitter, Cracker Barrel wrote:
Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:
When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offen

Whoever ordered it in first place should be fired
CB heretofore known as “Quacker Barrel”. Let them never forget.
Screw Em, If they are this stupid I sure don’t want them preparing my food.
Louisiana Tech in Ruston
That is so very true!!!!
It was probably an Assistant Vice-President for Diversity who made the original decision.
You are "that guy".
I studied this crap in college, too.
I do want to hear it from you.
That's why I asked.
They may have brought it back but the vast majority is still in the sale bin. Miss Kay’s cookbook and The Duck Commander Devotional are on 40% sale with the devotional’s description (tee hee), “With the Robertson clan’s flair for down-home wisdom and their wholesome family values, this 365-day devotional reveals the heart and faith of this much-loved family.” The only thing with Phil’s face on it is a keychain and a Happy cup with his name.
You can bet it was either a homosexual in a high position or somebody wanting to build up some brownie points with a homosexual boss.
They were afraid that their three gay customers might be offended.
Cracker Barrel being pro faggot isn’t going to help business hello chapter 12.

CB has been beaten up hard in the past by GLAAD, the NCAAP and others over alleged practices. Disgusting organizations like those can bring an organized negative campaign to bear that gets picked up and spread by the media. Next thing you know, they take a hit where it matters most —$$$
Hoping to avoid any negativity, CB made an ambiguous statement, took only select items off its shelves and hoped to split the baby down the middle and keep both sides happy.
It didn’t work. They quickly found out their hillbilly consumers are bit more savvy than originally thought and that they would quickly go under without their primary customers — middle America.
They apologized, put Phil’s merchandise back on the shelves and, hopefully, will learn a lesson. They have my business again.
There's probably an Obama executive order against that.
At least they did the right thing and reversed course.
I think their food is great, and it is usually our stop of choice along the Interstates.
That's correct. Duck Dynasty = A&E
Buy Duck Commander products.
my wife and I are intimately familiar with the founding families of Cracker Barrel
they are not liberals they were conservative
the founder died last year
the company is now publicly traded it has a board of directors with members both local and out of state
the management is now heavily populated by homosexuals and other minorities
the company being perceived as a white Southern business has been the target of lawyers for two to three decades now
all of this upper management homosexuals and blacks is a direct result of that it’s a shame
these people need to be purged for placing political views above profit
and alienating most of their customer base its crazy
merry Christmas to you in Canada I suppose political correctness is nothing new to you there
Right you are, and by a margin of more then 1,000 to 1!
Chic Fil A sales have reached a peak and leveled out at a higher level than prior to the encounter with the FAGS!
LOL, check out the comment section - they are still from the old article
“Remember: $ spent on “Duck Dynasty” products goes to A&E. $ spent of “Duck Commander” products goes to the Robertsons.”
That’s correct. Duck Dynasty = A&E
Buy Duck Commander products.

My take is a bit different on this. I agree that DC products benefit the Robertsons directly but in the end, most Americans don’t know the difference. Large segments of the country wearing officially licensed Duck Dynasty apparel are still making a loud and clear statement — We like those Duck People and what they stand for!
It is almost like buying the ammunition from the people you are using that ammo against.
