I think I’ve eaten at a cracker barrel twice, both times were on a roadtrip and it was the most established place off an interstate exit, so purely convenience. I haven’t the first clue what they even offer, I just assume it’s all chicken fried and covered with gravy.
That there are people out there absolutely losing their mind over the logo change is one of the most confusing things I’ve ever seen. Who. Fucking. Cares? Goddamn, the group that likes to call everyone else a snowflake, sure is the most infantile people on earth.
That said, I’ll avoid cracker barrel from here on. I really don’t want to be near the sort of people who frequent that establishment. Kudos to them for so proudly self-identifying…
All I know about Cracker Barrel is the company’s history of racism, like this from 2004:
More than 40 plaintiffs in 16 states alleged black people were denied service, assigned to segregated seating, subjected to racial slurs and served food taken from the trash. Also, about a dozen employees complained that blacks were segregated from white workers and generally received “back of the house” assignments such as cook and dishwasher.
If I’d given it any thought, I might have assumed the company’s shittiness was in the past, but this right-wing uproar over re-designed branding, with the frickin’ President of the United States demanding they switch back to the old logo, and the company’s quick acquiescence, convinces me Cracker Barrel is a restaurant for fascists.
Cracker Barrel is on team TACO. I’m bigly surprised…
No one even mentions the historical reference to the term “cracker” in America.
Isn’t there a single entity with a spine in America?
Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude’s shoulder. They’ll flip their shit even harder.
None of them actually care they just want to distract from Epstein.
A new logo wasn’t going to change the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain so it’s fine by me of they keep the old logo, not like the new logo was going to get me to break my twenty plus year steak of avoiding this place.
the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain
Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.
And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
Good thing this “controversy” came along, I’d all but forgotten the place exists.
Was this just conservatives? I never saw anyone say anything positive about the changes. Potential problems with some decor they might have, I don’t think that reasonably translates to completely scrub it of all personality anyway.
I’m not a conservative, it was either a bad call or a good publicity stunt.
I’m far left and I thought it was dumb.
It’s perhaps universally hated but for some an unfathomable reason, a very common sentiment among conservatives is that the new logo is too damn woke.
Whiny snowflakes got their way and now see that they can threaten more businesses to cater to their WEIRD ASS COMPLAINTS
They should increase the cost of of all of their products to cover the increased cost to print their existing logo. There’s no way the newer one wasn’t cheaper lol
This almost feels like a bet, or an experiment, by social media political manipulators. Like, one guy says to another, “I bet I can make Cracker Barrel change their logo back in less than two weeks using nothing more than a social media outage campaign.” “Deal.”
And then they do it, with some carefully planted posts across many platforms, and some well-placed calls to conservative commentators, calling attention to those posts. They successfully demonstrate their social media manipulating prowess, and ultimately sell their wares for the upcoming election cycle.
Or more than likely a marketing stunt by Cracker Barrel. Announce a new logo to get everyone talking about you. Then backtrack to stay in the news a little longer. Plus now you don’t need to spend any money on new logos. Boom you just got tons of free advertisement.
🤣 another win for conservatives. I don’t know why I even care anymore.
Awww… the new one was so much cleaner and nicer.
bro please talk about brands bro please
