So you are willing to compromise your principles by patronizing a business led by people who have demonstrated principles that you claim not to share?
An apology isn’t good enough for me.
There are lots of other places to buy iron cookware, candy and Gaither CDs.
A breakfast taco from just about anywhere will do me just fine.
If everyone took your one-mistake-and-you’re-out position when someone admitted a mistake, there would be no forgiveness; i.e. no Christian witness.
If they do it again, that’s different.

It is negative/positive reinforcement, in my opinion, just like training a dog.
CB did something incredibly stupid. They quickly received an abundance of negative reinforcement. They have now apologized. I will return to doing business with them which is positive reinforcement.
Hopefully, they will re-evaluate their policy of whether or not to jump into PC knee-jerk reactions which may alienate their consumer base in the future.
Corporations across the country have been incorporating political correctness nonsense for decades. I am hopeful we are seeing the first signs that middle America has had enough and that we are not going to take it anymore.
The principles of a business are profit. They were afraid of losing profits because of GLAAD, NAACP, etc. They realized, albeit lately, that their profits came form another segment of society. They have corrected that error (at least for now).
I can once again look forward to enjoying their pancakes which are sublime and can do so with a clear conscience (unless they screw up again, of course).
