I’m confused on why the logo, and backlash against changing the logo, has anything to do with “Woke” or politics. The logo has nothing to do with race, religion, sexual orientation, etc…. It’s just an older gentleman sitting in a rocking chair with his elbow resting on a barrel. How could that possibly offend someone? In my opinion, this is just a generational difference. Older folks, who generally don’t like change, and are a staple patron of the establishment, prefer things to remain unchanged. Apparently, the management of the establishment thought a more generic logo would attract a younger clientele and wouldn’t turn off their long time customers, and they were wrong. Personally, I couldn’t care less what their logo is, as long as they continue to let travelers spend the night sleeping in their vehicle in their parking lot. Over the years, I’ve saved a lot of money on hotels by sleeping in the back of my truck, with the cap on, in their parking lot. In return for using their parking lot, I always grab a meal and coffee to go, so it works for both parties.
