.... ooops


Cracker Barrel will go back to old logo after conservative backlash

[ThirdOfFive]

Dumping the old guy in the chair was a symptom, not the cause of anything.

Good decision. The next step should be to fire the CEO.

If the food was good then nobody would care about this logo change. But it’s not. Either go back to the cooking methods you used to have or get out of the business.

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts and they said that the cards that come with the peg games was going to change to a more sympathetic language. SMH

People these days get triggered by having 4 pegs left and being labeled an "eg-no-ra-moose" !! We are becoming way too soft!

Yes, good grief, what people get worked-up about. Plenty of what they're whining about doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

This Cracker Barrel nothingburger is firmly in the category of a First World "problem".

Imo, their business was antiquated and needed an update. I didn't study the details of what they're doing but, it needed help.

I wonder if they have a warehouse full of "new" signs.

Glad they went back to staying with tradition. Reminds me of the defeated controversy to change the official flag of the state of Maine. The young folks that have migrated north into Maine, from Boston and other northern urban areas, tried to get the flag changed from its long standing logo that represented the states roots of agricultural and fishing. Although we’re not from Maine, we travel there occasionally and were happy to learn the effort to change the flag was defeated.

I agree with your 1st two paragraphs. Can't say much about the last one since it's been ages since we had a meal there. IMO, this is an example of the hysteria that can be generated by a few idiots and their followers on the internet about a subject that is rather meaningless.

Did they stop the interior remodel also? I hope so.

What language was on the peg game? As far as I remember it was only numbers or is that made up? If you had a business that was losing sales what would you do to solve it? I, for the life of me, cannot understand how changing the logo proved they were "woke", whatever that is.

A $94M loss is "meaningless" ?

The effect "generated by a few idiots and their followers on the internet" is amazing.

Doesn’t the Gulf of Mexico have nostalgia?

Like Mr. Happy said, a nothingburger.

The stock was up 6% yesterday, and up another 6% in pre-market.

That was a quick $$$$$.
