This physigonamy is the death of a company. I need to start a fund that bets against corporations that have anyone like this calling shots.

Obvious corporate sabotage by them. She hired her buddies out to, to the tune $700 million, rebrand CB and this was the overarching result?!

ate at CB for Thanksgiving meal while my kids were in the NICU. It was complete crap. School cafeteria food is better.

Mexican breakfasts are objectively superior to all others.

Yep. You can't beat Taco Cabana.

Though the breakfast taquitos at McD's are pretty great when you want something lighter.

Man, that's a clear reminder that just because the new logo was terrible doesn't mean the old one didn't suck.

Good friend of mine is the CEO's neighbor

She's had security parked in front of her house this week

Maybe this was some massive 4D chess move by her to get people talking about CB, then "cave" to the right and have them eat there do to keeping same logo.

Never mind all the Cracker Barrel stuff.

What the hell is up with all those cameras?!


They are a funny follow on FB.

Instead of touting clean bathrooms like Buc-ee's and having a guy in a Beaver suit walking around, they have a guy in a big inflatable costume named Piss Jug Man. Thats what you can use there. A jug.

They had video of Piss Jug Man walking around in a Buc-ee's greeting people until the Buc-ee's staff ran them out of there.

Their page is pretty crazy.

The night I found that page, I just scrolled down endlessly and laughing.

The crazy thing is that those people all work at a real truck stop in Tennessee, they just have a lot of fun with it.

And they do have bathrooms, with some very serious policies regarding the truckers' use of the showers. The Piss Jug mascot is in reference to all the piss bottles truckers leave in the parking lot.

Useless CEO is fired.. I mean "has stepped down".

She wasn't able to get any new customers, all she did was end up pissing off existing customers.

Cracker Barrel CEO steps down a year after logo debacle

Quote:

Cracker Barrel's CEO is stepping down nearly a year after an attempted rebrand of the chain led to a fierce customer backlash.

Cracker Barrel said Monday that CEO Julie Masino will step down next month but remain with the company until Oct. 9 in an advisory capacity.

David Deno will succeed Masino on Aug. 10 as CEO. Deno served as the CEO of Bloomin' Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse and other chains, from 2019 until he retired in 2024. He has also held executive roles as Best Buy and Yum Brands, which is the parent company of KFC and Taco Bell.

Quote:

Then, last August, Cracker Barrel announced plans to ditch its longtime logo, which features an older, overall-clad man leaning on a barrel as well as the words "Old Country Store." The company said it would continue to honor Uncle Herschel the man in its logo, who represents the uncle of Cracker Barrel's founder on its menu and on items sold in its stores. But the new logo would be simpler and easier to read on road signs and in phone apps.

I have been to a Cracker Barrel only one time.

Once I made it through the labyrinth containing replicants of 1950's garage sale items, my meal consisted of fairly decent, yet bland, food.

If I remember correctly, I had to pay for my meal at the cash register located in the store. I took my place at the back of a line of customers, young and old, purchasing an odd assortment of items including small toys, dolls, jars of honey, jam and a rocking chair.
