Maybe Donald Trump should step in and force the company to change their logo back to what conservatives prefer.

That's the job of the President of the United States, right?

Attacking private business telling them how they should run their companies?

Seems like the only thing Donald Trump can actually do is bully small business

People still eat at Cracker Barrel? Their "food" is consistently awful.

UNFUN FACT: MAGA is more upset about the new Cracker Barrel logo than their president raping children.

It appears that the Right is also attacking Cracker Barrel for changes made to their famous peg-board game, which many people play while they're waiting for their orders to arrive (FWIW, I've been able to solve the game, getting to where only one peg was left on the board):

I'm sure that when Trump hears about this, it'll be the last straw and he'll issue an executive order making it illegal to serve food and sell souvenirs in the same building.

You can't have a Cracker Barrel without the cracker!

They shoulda just replaced the guy sitting in the chair next to the barrel with... Trump and a 13 year old cheerleader sitting on his lap.

You know, realism in advertising!

I thought the cancel culture cancelled Cracker Barrel a few years ago for adding a vegan option on their menu. Correct me if I am wrong.

When are they coming for the Quaker Oats guy?

I like Land o' Lakes where they got rid of the Indian but kept the land.
Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben gone.. lefties have removed all the minorities.

...and here I was thinking the PC entertainment was played out!

You say "cancel culture" but I think you don't know who is responsible for it.

...lefties have removed...
#12 | Posted by easy_meat

I didn't realize the rich CEOs of these companies were Lefties. This is Capitalism pure and simple. Like trading "Happy Holidays" for "Merry Christmas", these are business decisions by major corporations trying to reach a wider audience and make more profits.
Why do you hate Capitalism?

BTW, I think the new logo sucks, boring as hell. They even took off the "Old Country Store" subtitle. That was my favorite part, classic corporate lie.

I imagine Cracker Barrel is trying to aim for a younger demographic.

It is an absolute garbage logo.

Not that I'm gonna eat at Crackhead Barrel anyway, of course.

You are not wrong. People lost their ---- because there was a menu item that they did not have to order if they didn't want it.

Companies have been simplifying their logos for years but the right needs to be angry about everything being "woke" now so going woke it must be. GRRRR!

The left offers only hate and destruction of our long term American traditions. They are obsessed to hate EVERYTHING ABOUT America Christianity European whiteness and its 400+ year culture.

America the greatest country ever would be better off if every Democrat anti American was sent packing abroad. Everything Democrats have done to and in our country is a negative to the people of
our country.

Democrats are a negative offering nothing positive.

In other words, you don't see why democracy is better than fascism.

"The left offers only hate and destruction of our long term American traditions."

Did you just call Cracker Barrel a long term American tradition? Cracker Barrel was founded 55 years ago.

Negative and positive are just words.

Neither is good or bad.

Democrats offer an alternative to totalitarianism and fascism.

It's up to you to choose.

You chose to FAFO with a totalitarian authoritarian who is a wannabe dictator (but only on day one..lol)

Let's hope Americans learn their lesson.
