    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.
