Exactly. These chains get realtime point-of-sale information, so they knew within hours that they were on the wrong side and were taking a financial hit. To their credit, they weren’t stupid enough to stick by their bad decision very long.
Mistakes do happen, and this was one. Nowhere near A&E proportions, and in the end it won’t hurt Cracker (aka “Quacker”) Barrel much. Back in the home office a few careers will have taken a different direction because of it, I suspect resumes are being updated as we type.
Don’t punish CB for correcting a mistake, they would certainly deserve criticism if they hadn’t reversed themselves. Consider this a teachable moment just as you would when your kids screw up. The goal is to not make the same mistake twice, and if you were just an observer, to learn from the embarrassment Cracker Barrel has suffered.
Next time a similar situation arises, we will see if anything has been learned. If not, we need only mention “The Quacker Barrel debacle” in order to make the point.
