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.
I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can’t have that happening.
So it’s a good thing CB is changing back
I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don’t have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They’ll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that’s what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.
Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant’s image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.
McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now
What happened to McDonald’s? Apart from maybe a slight font change, it’s the exact same thing from 70 years ago.
Also, Burger King is an example of ditching a trendy look and going back to an older, more timeless logo.
57-69 was a dark time.
