I'm sure the frequent visiting old timers like seeing the praise of degeneracy right as they walk in...

I'll take an old timers breakfast, cup of coffee and a trans rocker.

If there ever was a place that didn't have the customer base for this, CB is my first guess.

So they can put in the effort to get rainbow chairs, but can't get fried catfish back on the menu?

Serious question, does a business really face any sort of boycott or backlash for NOT doing anything to celebrate pride month? I mean just keep providing the same products and services you already do year round, in the same manner to everyone regardless of demographics or politics.

Cracker Barrel taste like a warmed over pile of decaying buttholes. You know, a lot like Bud Light…

Its one of the major headscratchers of all of this to me. Particularly for companies whose target markets are primarily conservative audiences. It doesn't seem like the business gained from LGBT or leftist customers who aren't your target audience is worth the risk of driving off your target market who are primarily conservatives and seniors.

I'm guessing for most companies its the ESG requirements that make them feel like they are forced to do this virtue signalling and I think in some companies its just plain ol stupid decision making listening to woke marketing and Comms execs. Those two aren't mutually exclusive categories.

Really hate to see the pandering here. It shows how much this company has fallen in the last ten years. I left 7 years ago, and it was starting to falter then. Leadership grasped at a lot of straws, but the actions of the last few years (adding alcohol, expanding to the left coast, menu changes plus this) reek of desperation.

I was talking to one of my friends there a few weeks ago and he stated that Texas and Florida are carrying the company right now. I wonder how this plays now.

I don't know why, but my kids love that place. I use to think when they were young it was due to that damn gift shop but they don't even pay attention to that anymore.

When we go destin every summer, we spend two days making the trip and all they want is CB on the way there and back. We've probably hit every one of them on and nearby of I-10 in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Insanity.

I drive by my local Cracker Barrel twice a day commuting to work. That's the closest I've been to a Cracker Barrel in a few years, and it sounds like it will stay that way.

Boycotting a Cracker Barrel may be the easiest thing to do. It sucks. It always has sucked.

It would be more productive of them if they actually did that with the menu instead of a deck chair.

Cracker Barrel got dinged a few years ago for supposedly racist practices against its customers, paying a legal settlement and a fine. So they are likely terrified of a similar lawsuit from gay customers.

All it takes is one person to claim discrimination and the lawyers and others come crawling out of the woodwork.

Did not expect this. WTF is going on. Why would they do this? How are they so out of touch that they don't know their target demographic?

Cracker Barrels are almost exclusively in solidly red areas, and frequented largely by the elderly.

Sucks because I really loved their chicken n dumplins on occasion and thought the sides were great. Will never give them another dime.

Incredibly stupid, short sighted, and unnecessary imo.

Yeah ... I'm not real picky when it comes to food but Cracker Barrel just isn't good.

It takes mighty bad cook to screw up breakfast. You can get better breakfast anywhere. Hard to beat McDonalds coffee too. Their greens, green beans are out of a can, and their chicken pieces must have been banty chickens.
Cracker barrell is for nostalgic wannabees who think they are eating Grandmas cooking, and an alternative to fast food on the road. Boycotted years ago for crappy food and service.

If you like Cajun food, it's a must. Their crawfish etoufee is fantastic! The crawfish pistolette is awesome as well.

They didn't last very long in Oregon. 'goners ran them off in just a few years.

They aren't going to get sued for discrimination for not putting out rainbow chairs and flags. If they just have their employees treat all customers courteously they will be fine.

Seems like a totally unnecessary move on their part, one they will probably alienate a lot of their base.

Very Bud Lightish.
