Cracker Barrel
 

The immutable, ignorant shallowness that elevates a logo change into one that an American president feels compelled to seriously weigh in on, makes me want to go back to bed and pull the sheets over my head. We are doomed.

Which real things? All-time highs in the markets?

I’ve got one example…. ME. They been closing stores for few years IMo due to mismanagement. Imagine that restaurant running out item on menu in middle of day. I could care less about logo changes. If management not managing it makes no difference.

Because 1 week was how long it took for the C suite to realize they made a mistake and reverse course.

In a week? Who cares. The stock tanked. That's what caught management's attention. That, and the extreme backlash on social media.

Exactly. If you don't understand this, the whole thing doesn't make sense.


It's not about woke people caring about the peg game. Woke people probably don't eat at CB. It's about anti-woke people being sick and tired of having things they like cancelled, woke-ified, or turned into politically correct nonsense because everyone is too easily offended.

Minds to antiquated to accept change.
 

I believe the inability to accept change in these comments just demonstrates the average age of the people commenting on here.

Got that right

I think I wasn't paying enough attention. Just who was it that became offended and what were they offended by?

Sorry people are tired of this woke BS. That's what killed Bud Light. That's exact reason Cracker Barrel stock dropped 12% one day.

To everyone saying the logo change had nothing to do with it, just the food sucked. Then why did the stock drop 12% the day they announced the change??

One reason the lattice needed to go, was filth. Rough wood stained dark, harboring all kinds of dust, dirt, bugs. No matter how it was cleaned, look closely it was gross.

My mom refused any table near the walls of lattice, eventually some restaurants put the Knick knacks behind glass, so that spiders had a harder time hiding.

Extra protein added to breakfast like a spider catapulting to your table, free of charge. We haven’t eaten in a CB for 4 years, mainly the food was horrible, but the interior was very offensive with hard to keep clean stuff.

I think you need to look up the reason beside the Cracker Barrel remodels and the agenda from the CEO.
The peg game said you should be embarrassed if you left 4 or more. We always make fun with it.

Everyone who’s “worked up” about why people are “worked up” about NOT liking the logo ( if that’s even a thing) are hilarious because YOU’RE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING…. Lol Nobody is complaining about the logo. It’s the companies way to get in the news to draw attention, to get more customers. The only actual people worked up, are the ones who didn’t want the logo change. Personally, I couldn’t care less about any logo

Were on a road trip this past weekend and stopped at 7:20pm on Saturday. After waiting 30 minutes for a table (pretty standard), we were told they were out of Chicken and Dumplings, Fried Chicken (the entree of the day BTW), and Pot Roast. When I questioned "is this typical?" the servers response was "Yes, on a Saturday. We close at 10 and don't want to throw stuff away" Really? So, you are extremely busy and have a 30-minute wait for a table, are open for over 2 more hours, and you don't wish to serve what the customer would like to eat? Oh, and they didn't have corn bread either so I said what is the excuse there as it only takes 20 minutes to bake a muffin and her response was "no, it takes 30 minutes and then they have to cool". This was a 4-star server
IMO, Cracker Barrel has much bigger issues then the Denny's logo snafu!

Fire the CEO
 

Agree , how can the CEO keep her job after costing them millions of dollars because of a decision she made. !!

certain "active" investors sold the stock in a reaction to get out prior to similar financial results to other "woke" interpreted corporate actions, which have backfired with slowing sales by its customer base. This type of investment reaction is very normal in today's environment. Knowing your customer base is extremely important. . and investors who have factored company's customer base would expect that this announcement might affect their customer base in a negative way.

shoot first, ask questions later. .

The "active" investors know who the CEO is, know the customer/consumer sensitivities by company, and have sales and profit projections which provide a present and future value of the company, sold enough shares into a balanced supply/demand moment to move the stock lower. . . that is all. . nothing more, nothing else. .

simple as that. .
