Do you not understand the difference between not eating somewhere vs not eating somewhere while screaming for that business to be boycotted and shut down?

They also started pushing alcohol a lot. That isn't exactly what a lot of the family oriented customers want at the table. They can go to a Mexican restaurant or Applebee's for that. It might sound silly, but a lot of their old customers were shocked by it and just want a safe space to take their kids and grandkids.

BTW, someone should check to see if there is any big hedge funds heavily long shorted on them. Also, if they took in any BCG (Boston Consulting Group) executives and board members. It is a pattern.

Destroy good companies for greed and profit.

Likely a planned destruction by "investors" who have shorts on them. It is an evil and corrupt tactic.

I would describe it as a boycott plus.
Level 0.0: deciding not to patronize a business. We make these decisions every day.
Level 0.5: casually telling others why you don’t patronize that business.
Level 1: Organized, active campaigns to damage said business.
Level Woketard: Organized, active efforts to not only damage the business but also the people who still patronize said business.

Level 1 qualifies but it’s at the low end of the cancel spectrum. Level Woketard is what’s exploded recently and what most people mean when they talk about “cancel culture”, but it’s admittedly analog, not digital.

For a company whose success is largely dependent on gas prices, pissing off a good chunk of their customer base when gas prices are really high doesn't seem like a great move on their part.

I will die on a hill for Cracker Barrel as far as chain restaunts go! #teamrainbowcracker #nohomo

Cracker Barrel isn’t going broke because of pride chairs. They’re going broke because their clientele has died off over the years and plus their food sucks.

Never knew that they went woke. Too bad they did haven't gone to cracker barrel in a couple years and now I'll never waste my money there again.

As it turned out, that was not a good marketing strategy, and it had the effect of repulsing existing customers who don’t want country cooking to be sexualized, be it gay, straight, or otherwise.

Meh. If they were celebrating traditional marriage it would be fine. We're specifically anti-gay, and that's ok. Hell even California voted against gay marriage
