Oh shut up. You have no clue. The company responded correctly, so you want to keep running around with your hair on fire? Fine, be an idiot.

You post like a non-conservative non-FReeper. Shut Up? SHUT UP?

When I saw a post here at FR that said, 20 of us go every weekend for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and we will now be going to Bob Evans, I knew they would be changing their minds.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I sent them an email.

” I suggest they go for a little more diversity - hire a conservative or two... “

Touche. I will go back. They have the best country ham anywhere. It tastes like the ones my dad (may he rest in peace)used to cure. I also enjoy their grilled trout.

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 offending, but that’s just what we’ve done.

IOW, they wet their finger an put it in the air.

Perfectly reasonable and accomodative. Corporations are controversy-averse. They moved to avoid controversy, then reversed course when a greater one arose.

Weak and spineless is more like it.

Lurching from one position to another based on which way the wind is blowing - people and corporations that act that way do not have my respect.

‘Hey, hey, ho, ho...Nancy Dubuc has to go!’

My brother is getting a pillow with Phil Robertson's face on it, full sized. It has has a recording of Phil saying something, I forget what! Got it at Bass Pro Shop for $20.

I was going to get him a baseball cap with an attached beard but I forgot which catalog I saw it in. My catalog stack is 1 1/2 feet tall and I just didn't have time to search.

Too late, Cracker Barrel...you mask slipped, and America got a GOOD look.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Good now I can go get some fried catfish.

“Also, I removed A&E from my Uverse tv channel selector. All gone . . . “

This is a good one. If I’m not mistaken the TV provider can poll your TV and see this has been done.

The gay mob at cracker barrel should be disciplined

By the board

And shown their power has limits

Better yet a coup to bring back historical management ...one line with customer base

Memo to Cracker Barrel:

Next time get the facts first, not last.

[deport]

IOW, they wet their finger an put it in the air.

Broken down to its basic form that is what happens in many instances, both private and corporate.

Time to exercise our freedom of speech and not give a damn what blacks and (homosexuals) want us to say.

[RegulatorCountry]

They are in the business of selling food and merchandise to the public. They have a certain demographic to which they seek to appeal. Very few corporations have any sort of singular vision that lines up with FReeper expectations. They did, however, respond correctly to the controversy. To continue to condemn them now is to call into question the value of bowing to pressure.

[Old Sarge]

True and factual.

Duck DYNASTY = A&E

Duck COMMANDER = Robertsons.
