Well, the Cracker Barrel logo fiasco is apparently over…
Cracker Barrel said Tuesday that after listening to its customers, it will scrap its new logo and keep the “Old Timer” in place.
“As a proud American institution, our 70,000 hardworking employees look forward to welcoming you to our table soon,” the restaurant chain added.

Now the question is what will happen with the interior ‘redesign’? And the DEI mentality of the CEO and the board???
Not a clue over here, but from what I’ve heard, the ‘old’ interior is fine with folks…
In other news, SpaceX finally got Starship 10 off the ground and had successful tests of both the booster (dropped in the Gulf on purpose), and the test deployment from space of the dummy Starlink satellite units. Additionally, they had a successful test reentry in the Indian Ocean after a ‘stress test’ on reentry. They did burn off part of at least one of the rear flaps, but that’s what testing is all about. The test of the revised tile plan seemed to go well too…
And the Coasties did good! USCG Hamilton got more drug busts in the Caribbean and off South America, which totaled 61,740 pounds of cocaine and 14,400 pounds of marijuana, were worth $473 million! Story HERE. That’s a pretty good hit!!!
Apparently, at least a few Brits are waking up to the fact that they too have an immigration problem (among other things)… Story HERE.
However, I can’t help but wonder if this is too little, too late…
Yeah, when the European ‘Yutes’ are calling for more socialism, WOKE idealogy and very lax immigrant laws, your society is losing its grip on Reality. It will likely get much worse before they finally see the light. Fixing that will not be pretty.
I have considerable thoughts about how the UK (if not Europe) are going to solve their migrant problem – https://ombreolivier.substack.com/p/mass-deportation-andor-civil-war?r=7yrqz
I fear we’re going to get civil war because the populace is massively (as in 80:2) against current levels of illegal immigration and the authorities just aren’t and seem to think that the real threat is the populace.
Europe? France will go jackboots. Eastern Europe will be fine. Germany is probably fucked
X2
I don’t have the exposure to estimate civil war in the far off and magical kingdom of Europeland.
I view the root cause as not being the immigrants, but instead the ‘elites’ that have been trained at the hothouses of the universities.
Where US judges are concerned, some of the immigrants serving as judges are naive and delusional enough that they do not grasp their real situation, but persons born in the US and raised slightly inside of the culture can wind up just as unhinged.
(I’ve come to the conclusion that Nazi is a pretty useless term for communicating across political boundaries, or for communicating across cultural boundaries. Groups have their priors, they evaluate and observe in contrast to those priors. For cultural or political groups, Nazi is a term where distinct groups can project entirely different ideas against the reality.)
I don’t think most of the European university set have the background to understand that they are making modeling assumptions about US culture. For Americans, Nazi is a foreign coded term. Americans who are evil, and also are nativists can admire domestic US institutions who attempted to do the same evil things, or which did do the same evil things, and at the same time deplore the NSDAP for being foreign, and obviously so. If one goes against the mainstream academic view, and looks at W.R. Meade, and posits a bottom up peace consensus, it becomes clear that the American evaluation of foreign is extremely correlated to behavior, and is much much less correlated to anything like race.
The Brahmandarin models suggests that Europe Brahmandarins were counting on US Brahmandarins to keep Americans in order, and that the American troops would do any real troop tasks of significance that the European elites decided they needed. So that they could cut their own internal troop supply, concentrate use of force in the police force, and keep just those police forces politically reliable to the elite.
So the elites may be rare geniuses, but rarity has its downsides when it comes to balance of force between persons with modern technology.
There’s behavior modeling of persons. There’s force of arms modeling of persons and robots. There’s economic modeling of persons and robots.
I don’t have any conclusions ATM, but I have probably bodged up my analysis somewhere.
still not going back. They have a bigger history of DEI, LGBTBBQ, BLM support that I was unaware of. The barrel is off my list of dining establishments.
Pretty much since the first CEO stepped down in 2001 (?). Don’t forget the decline of food quality, it’s now institutional reheat instead of fresh, no automatic biscuits (which have bioengineered ingredients), etc.
Cracker Barrel , haven’t been there in a long time , I remember it being better than Denny’s . Don’t dine out much anymore , too expensive . Glad their customers are speaking up .
U.K. , the people have right to protest and speak their minds and fly their flags . They have a legitimate bitch , and a reasonably sound objection to the dangerous behavior being hoisted upon them by immigrants . Sounds like all of Europe is being invaded .
Yay Coast Guard , good snag . I thought pot was all domestically grown nowadays . I don’t partake , I’m hungry and stupid without illegal drugs . I’d probably stare at the wall , pass out and wake up with a bologna and bean dip sandwich in my hand and my face painted orange with cheeto dust .
UK (and all the rest of the west) cleaning house has to include more than just the immigrants themselves, need to clean out the traitors that opened the gates.
The UK is toast. The traitors are still in charge and are well entrenched. Even if they hadn’t been invaded with, not just a replacement population, but a hostile replacement culture, Europe was already on the downhill slide into oblivion. They’re population demographics had them heading for extinction. Japan, South Korea, China, Europe, are all past the tipping point. Even if they wake up, its too late.
It’s not over yet. They’ve backed off on the logo, but there is much more wokism going on. New interiors, DEI hiring and oversight, new menu, and more.
We just won the first skirish, not the battle.
So who’s battling? Sometimes the worst thing you can do to someone is let them have their own way. In this case vote with your wallet. And like Bud it won’t be a boycott but a divorce.
I don’t want CB to go out of business, I just want them to reverse their corporate idiocy.
Agreed. I like the old Cracker Barrel, clutter,” dust,” and all.
The logo change is a symptom of a deeper problem. Reversing it doesn’t change the problem. The board running the company is woke. THAT is the problem. And woke morons never change their agenda…just their tactics.
CB lost me a long time ago when they joined the ranks of other restaurants, most these days, that nuke and boil-in-bag because the majority of their menu comes prepared via the truck. Here’s just the latest of several previous-employee clips I’ve watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HigYQIkHRLY&t=2s
I’ve mostly always, except one time on the road, and they fixed it the next day, enjoyed my meal at CB.
What goes on in the board room doesn’t affect my dining experience.
My servers and the bussers and the manager are familiar and local.
It’s what I expect when I go in.
When it’s not, I won’t.
All- You may be right on CB… sigh…
Francis- Thanks, I was not aware of the depth of the issue… Bob, you could also be correct.
