Maybe by next year’s Butthumper Month, Cracker Barrel will rebrand Uncle Herschel as a twink.

And I've used it.

It doesn't return anything on woke either.

I just watched an 8 minute video on it. All they talked about was the logo.

And the people commenting on it didn't say anything about DEI, nothing about being gay, nothing about LGBTQ.

The interpretation seemed to be that they were disavowing southern culture.

Again, if I believed stuff just because it was posted here I would believe the government could control the weather.

Apparently, you weren't very good at it.

Ask someone you know who is not a dumbass (if you know anyone who is not also a dumbass) to help you.

I'm boycotting Cracker Barrel until they fire their CEO and their food and service improve.

ETA: Also boycotting until they start lighting the fireplace in the winter again. What is the point of having a fireplace and stacking the wood in the fireplace if you aren't going to light it?

Notice there is NO talk about removing their “partnership with lgbtq”in that statement. They are masking what the real issue is here. I won’t eat there because I don’t want to help their agenda.

Unless they say they’re going back to the old logo and firing the CEO, nobody is going to care.

This may end up being worse than Target and Bud Light for them

Now, will they actually stop going or are these reactions as empty as the ones aimed at the NFL? We'll see.


I’m 55 years old. I’ve had a favorite team since I was 6 years old, and bought their shirts, hats, footballs, and all kinds of other shite all my life. This football season will be the 8th year since I have watched a single minute of NFL football. There may not be that many of us, but there’s a few.

I had heard a while back they had rainbow rocking chairs or some such for Pride Month. Not really their demographic, you'd think.

Their demographic is dying and causing their company to die with them.

They are clearly trying to expand/change the demographic so they don't die. Will it work? Probably not, but they were on a spiral for years prior to this.

I can believe and understand this.

What I don't get is why they picked such a small, disinterested and malcontent demographic to chase... they could have catered to younger families instead.

This is correct. As the boomers continue to die out we are going to see more and more of this.

The main takeaway should be these corporations daily operations are run by diversity hires and girl bosses that have absolutely no idea what theyre doing or how to bridge the generational gap.

That’s some kind of corporate marketing bullshite. Everyone gets old and then dies. Boomers are dying off, gen x is getting old right behind them. Nobody is too young or too old for good food. Fix the shitty food. Make sure your service is friendly and attentive to the customers. The age of the customers won’t matter.
