That's awesome. Serious meme right there.

Who gives a flying F. That chain has been headed in the wrong direction for several years. Crappy service with even crappier microwave food.

Maybe. Most people are slow to forgive a hearty "**** you!"

That's service across the board at basically any eating establishment outside the homegrowns that still care how their employees treat customers. Won't go into details on why because everyone knows why.

Cracker Barrel goes back to old logo..F16ers what's the big deal people care about this?

We tried to tell you

---

And just like that, maga thinks Cracker Barrel is the greatest food in chain restaurant history again, after saying the food is horrible for the past week and they hadn't gone there in years and would never go back.

Gotta love social media.

Now, onto the next first world problem.

I had time on a business trip 2 weeks ago to have a sit-down breakfast. There was a Cracker Barrel across the street from me, and I went there. The food and service absolutely stunk on top of it being $20+ minimal tip for just me.

As I explained to my son last night, I had never even noticed the logo. Come on the dude is yellow not white. I don't care if it the sign said "Gig'em Aggies", if the food and service are bad it is a no go.

They will still fail in the long term if that does not change.

Changing the logo doesn't fix the problem with CB, spend the $ upgrading their menu, training their staff and raising the quality of their ingredients would be a step in the right direction to solving their problems. Acting as though their logo is outdated and people aren't eating there because of the southern gentleman next to their name is just flat out stupid. MAGA, conservatives, traditionalists, etc called them out for shifting the blame for their problems, to the one thing it isn't. But to your point until they make the actual food on the plate better they are still going to struggle.

Anyone else make their reservation on Friday to celebrate the logo revert

The marinated grilled chicken nuggz are actually very good

I would pay a lot of money to get a video of some their board meetings leading up to this and after the fallout. Bet she wasn't near as perky or confident as her interview with a football player.

lol nope haven't been to Cracker Barrel in 20 years no plans to go but you probably canceled your fri nite plans to go there with pee paw

The thing about "traditional foods" across EVERY culture is that they were developed where prep time overcomes constraints to cheap + local ingredients.

Cracker Barrel doesn't need expensive ingredients, but corporatizing a family restaurant is a real challenge from a people perspective.

Funny? Not by any means.

Just a little bit of levity to remind us all that life's too short to live in rage.

Alright complainers! The logo is back, so get out there and help them make up for that $50M drop in net revenue between 2023 and 2024! Uncle Herschel's Favorites for everyone!!!

This. The food hasn't been great in a while. CB used to be our go-to for breakfast, but the food has steadily gone downhill. I'd rather go to waffle house where the food is great and there's always the possiblity of a free show.

I think I ate in one about ten years ago or so with my parents. Not in any real hurry to go back. I would like to go to Bob Evans again though. Even at 4:30 PM.

This is a great point.

Cracker Barrel works best when the wait staff is friendly and helpful. Many of the waitresses at the location a family member always visited remembered her breakfast order. That's living the brand.

When your waitress is some morose 18-year-kid with purple hair who would just as soon run you down in the parking lot as take your order, the whole "grandma's kitchen" thing fails.

Finding good people who can bring the brand to life is a tough task, especially in bigger cities. You've got to have a Chick-fil-A hiring model, IDing people with a true service attitude, and then model that behavior.

This is another area where a DEI focus gets in the way. You are telling your employees to "live their true selves" at work when what you should be saying is "act more like ol' Marge in Goodlettsville, who's worked for Cracker Barrel for 25 years and calls everyone 'honey.'"

If Cracker Barrel has any sense left, they should learn from the New Coke marketing disaster in 1985. Coca Cola actually regained most or more of their market share by the end of 1985…….

As Sergio Zyman, Coca-Cola's former head of marketing, said in a 1999 interview with SKI magazine, "Yes, it infuriated the public, cost a ton of money and lasted only 77 days before we reintroduced Coca-Cola Classic. Still, New Coke was a success because it revitalized the brand and reattached the public to Coke."

Rumor going around at the time was that Coke intentionally did this to get everyone talking about Coca Cola.

The old timer aka "Uncle Herschel" will return, along with his barrel: "We said we would listen, and we have."

Apparently it is Trump's fault that the CEO went woke and then broke.

Cracker Barrel management is cracking. Today they’ve removed the LGBTQ Pride page off of the Cracker Barrel website. First 3 screenshots below show what that page used to look like and the 4th shows how it looks now. The backlash against them for going woke has them in a panic. pic.twitter.com/MIde4dvv1w

Can they bring back the maple syrup? I couldn't care less about that which has nothing to do with the quality of the food, but then switching to that half maple syrup half corn syrup ruined their pancakes for me.

---

This ^^

Bud, Jag and then this...it's really hard to understand after those other two a management team would pull **** like this.

And how could they commit $700m to a new "branding" plan and renovation, and have no messaging campaign prepared for it? Someone thought it was a great idea to leave an entire part of the marketing mix out of the equation.

That CEO was not capable of conducting an interview for what was going on. She was on there trying to convince you she was right instead of your own lying eyes. I can't believe she survives this; even if she is the right DEI demographic.

There were about a million ways to handle this better...focusing on food quality, fresh ingredients, etc., would have been a good start. If you wanted to do some store renovations, fine. But at least have a message prepared to explain what you're doing and why..."we're not burning down the house and store; but after 50 years Aunt May is finally is finally getting Uncle Hershel to paint the kitchen and throw some things away in the barn"... talk to your customers...not down to them and never patronize them...just about anything other than a stupid expression on your out-of-depth face.

The CEO of Coke mentioned something along these lines at the press conference announcing the return of classic Coke, saying "we are neither that smart nor that stupid". However, it has been alleged that the return of classic Coke is when they started using HFCS.

I couldn't agree more with everything you said.

They still don't get it. It's not about the logo. If they think keeping the logo will fix things they are delusional.

It's the store remodel everyone hates.
It's "bringing pride to the porch" their customers don't want to see or beat over the head with.

They didn't get to where they are by trying to be DEI/inclusive/progressive, etc.

They should be focusing 100% on quality food and quality service, nothing else.

That CEO should be fired and the BOD completely turned over.

The CEO on GMA saying the new store remodel concept was "overwhelmingly positive"…. She is lying and trying to convince others what she wants to be true. It has been a total and complete failure.

Doubling down is not the way forward and if they think just keeping the old logo will fix things, it won't.

Fire the ceo, cmo, and diversity officer from the board and they might actually save themselves.

I have never believed that, but that was certainly the outcome.

The ceo was pulling the oldest Old Testament scam in history. Get put in a position of power. Someone higher up than you will tell you to give some business to some other members of the family. Pay them to do whatever, doesn't matter if the work is good or not. At some point, the higher ups will reward you for loyalty and you too will be paid to do something completely unnecessary but required because management has a greed habit and obligation to keep the covenant.

The main goal here is to keep reciprocal contracting moving at all times so the money gets circulated amongst the community or tribe, whatever you want to call it.

People who don't realize this need to wake up. It is 100% fact. Don't let yourself fall into the social media/woke-broke/TDS trap. That's all noise to keep you distracted.
