Cracker Barrel Backtrack: Duck Back On Menu; "We made a mistake, we listened to you, we apologize."
Truth Revolt ^ | December 22, 2013 | Trey Sanchez

Posted on 12/22/2013 5:01:28 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Nationwide country restaurant Cracker Barrel has reversed its decision of Friday to stop selling some Duck Dynasty merchandise with Papa Phil's face prominently displayed. Thanks to fierce customer backlash and a strong anti-Cracker Barrel Twitter campaign, the restaurant tweeted on Sunday that Duck Dynasty products are back on the shelves.

Cracker Barrel @CrackerBarrel

We made a mistake, we listened to you, and we apologize. #DuckDynasty products are back in our stores. http://goo.gl/zftvZe

Its kinda nice to watch as it dawns on the moonbat totalitarians in the MSM that much of the country has utterly rejected their homo mind control.

And the “lib” marketing person that made the decision should be fired! I ran a marketing department once, this was a PR disaster for Cracker Barrel, and that marketing decision should become a LESSON for the company’s archives. You do that by firing people so people in the future won’t make such a mistake.

Well, that is right nice of them.
BUT, they still don’t know how to do grits.
Bless their hearts.

Businesses are gun-shy around the Lavender Mafia and Race Hustlers. Can you blame them? Look what they did to Denny’s, Cracker Barrel themselves, all those bakeries and florists, etc., etc...

Folks, this is more confirmation that the homosexual lobby's power is a myth. Otherwise, CB wouldn't have backtracked.

The restaurant simply realized that losing their customers wasn't worth appealing to a vocal minority who would never patronize them anyway. Just like the homosexual movement will not patronize A&E.

I would boycott them. But I did that years ago because the place has slow lousy service. I can't go there less than zero. But at least they admit that they messed up and saw their customers disappear and beg forgiveness. I guess that's a start.

Whoever made that decision has never watched the CB customer. I saw that and laugh when they announced they were taking DD stuff off the selves.
