I swore off the Crack house long ago when service and quality started suffering even at the flagship location in Lebanon, TN. Then an employee posted a video of their food prep practices. Reminded me of ZZ Top's 'TV Dinners' video. They ain't getting my biz no mo.
Several years ago Cracker Barrel banned the sale of any Confederate merchandise in their stores. For a company that is located in the South and derives its customer base from Southerners who grew up loving their Southern heritage, that is a slap in the face. Then they started selling meat from Smithfield, a China owned company. Now the CEO wants to change the logo, remove the antiques, and change the fireplaces. The stock is plummeting, as it should. I read this morning that these braindead decisions have been reversed, concerning the logo and interior changes. I don't care. It can sink. Get rid of the liberal, Yankee CEO, buy American foods, and put Confederate merchandise back in the stores. Then I might consider patronizing Cracker Barrel again. As for now, my 41 years of being a customer is over.

Mhm. For true Southerners, Cracker Barrel has been going through the process of woke for a long time.
