    You’re missing context.

    Look at the dead logos.

    Now look up how Cracker Barrel had be sued in 2004 to stop segregating their dinning room.

      Right, but the point still stands. The type of person to frequent cracker barrel probably is an ancient racist. The rebrand will end them.

        Not everybody, though. I’m with CoffeeJunkie; I go to Cracker Barrel because I like the food (and because they sell Hydrox cookies in the general store). I had no idea that it’s apparently a hang out for racists. If they’re around then they’re well hidden at my local Cracker Barrel locations.

          I don’t think it’s like a nazi bar, I just know that the demographic is old white people and I just kinda assume. I haven’t been in ages but their biscuits are FANTASTIC.

      That is pretty fucked up, never heard about it. It’s the usual suspects, “Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia”. Probably not an unspoken nationwide Cracker Barrel policy, more of a Southern thing, but it’s likely corporate knew it was going on & tolerated it.

      The dead logos & old Southern country styling…WAS…their thing. It was their whole thing, now it’s gone, and they have nothing. Idk personally I don’t see it going well for them. Time will tell.
