This is from 2019:

Cracker Barrel CEO Sandra Cochran leads charge for chain's racial, LGBTQ inclusivity

"Get woke, go broke" is about as stupid as any boycott, but Cracker Barrel didn't start off with painted rocking chairs.

No surprise. The She-EO used to work for Starbucks.

Human lemmings.

I'll stick to breakfast and being amused at people outraged over painted chairs.

Some of us have been boycotting restaurants like Cracker Barrel with their seed oil laden and ultra processed food for many years now. I don't like their LGBT rocking chair stunt but it's less egregious than the poisoning of their patrons. There's a reason the average Cracker Barrel customer is severely obese and a few feet short of the grave.


This. I haven't eaten there in a decade easy simply because the food sucked and I felt like schiff for hours after. That and their stunt with their original woke crap with the duck guy. Buh bye CB.

When most of your customers are Vietnam and Korea aged diners, wokeness doesn't go over well.

As much as I'd like for this to be a woke backlash thing, I suspect it isn't

Anecdotal, but as someone who likes to fight the culture wars I didn't even recall this saga

Look at this stupidity, must be one of the rainbow crowd. All restaurants use the same type ingredients as CB. The current destruction was caused by going woke not any other reason.


Uh, no. It's the liberal dieticians parroting the FDA and screaming that seed oils are perfectly safe and heart healthy. Oils like canola, peanut, sunflower, etc go through a nasty process that involve a highly carcinogenic treatment with hexane. It builds up like varnish in your arteries. A good restaurant will only use natural fats like beef tallow, butter, duck fat, olive/avocado oil. But you go on and dive into another tub of Crisco buddy.

Good

You’d think they’d learn at some point


I did read somethjng yr or so ago when the bud light deal came about.
Its not the company it’s the people where they get their operating money from that’s forcing them to do this.

Made sense
