    I’ve always associated cracker barrel with “angry old white people who think black pepper is spicy” and their meaner variant, the post-church crowd. so… not particularly surprised?

      Yeah, I’m more surprised they had any sort of DEI language to begin with (of course it was clearly just pandering, so).

        All companies expressing any political meta is pandering.

        Any adherence to a political meta isn’t a testament of their values, it is a testament of their customers’ values.

        Companies want the money of their customers’ and they will say or do anything they think will keep making them money.

        If you think any company supports DEI or LGBTQ issues genuinely, I have a bridge to sell you.

      Lol, I went to some chain and got the chicken Alfredo, the guy warns me it’s a bit spicy. I tell him no worries, bring it on. The thing has like 6 flakes of red pepper on it. I figured he had to warn me bc some Karen complained.

    Just watch me as I continue to never go to a cracker barrel ever in my life because of how fucking irrelevant they are. I don’t even know where the nearest one to me would be.

      They could simply have done nothing and no one would be asking them for anything, but now they decided to kneel to bigots.

    Always appease the fascists and far-right nutjobs, then they will totally leave you alone once in power…

    Oh, wait. They actually won’t…

    They’re doing this JUST to raise attention and get media coverage, as a dying brand that nobody cared about.

    There are no more social consequences in the US, as long as you’re making someone angry, you’re getting attention and thus winning. That’s what all of this is, and why all of our political strategies have to change.

    The biggest thing you can do to stop corporations from gutting out every last avenue of communication and political action is to simply stop spending money on them. Stop getting doordash and takeout, learn to make your own food. Stop getting coffee and spending money on excesses like games and movies.

    Start hoarding the wealth away from the liches and monsters who look at literally everything you do as a money-making opportunity. Dry up the flow of blood and they will start to starve and this will force them to take actions, to kick out their employees in the government and restructure management in desperate attempts to keep line going up.
