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.
Isn’t there a single entity with a spine in America?
Cracker Barrel is on team TACO. I’m bigly surprised…
No one even mentions the historical reference to the term “cracker” in America.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 streak 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.
Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That’s their entire customer base.
Good thing this “controversy” came along, I’d all but forgotten the place exists.
That’s a bummer. I liked the new logo a lot.
Whiny snowflakes got their way and now see that they can threaten more businesses to cater to their WEIRD ASS COMPLAINTS
I said it in the last thread and I’ll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don’t know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.
bro please talk about brands bro please
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.
I thought it was dumb, too, but I definitely wasn’t upset by it. Conservatives were, for some reason.
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.
You could almost wrap it around to how corporations fuck everything up but that would be too much for their little brains
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
