Question Cracker Barrel

Who here goes to Cracker Barrel and what do you think of the food, decor, atmosphere, and new changes?

Cracker Barrel has been in the news lately because of the logo change, rebranding, decor changes, and "woke" controversy. The logo change caused the stock price of Cracker Barrel to crash 12% on Thursday. I personally think it's an over-reaction, and there really is nothing wrong with the new logo. Of course I've never been to a Cracker Barrel and it isn't really a Californian thing.

All publicity is good publicity, and the logo change and media buzz surrounding it may be the best thing to happen to Cracker Barrel in years.

They don't still have the same corny rocking chairs, cheesy gift shop, and overly salty bland food they always had?

In fairness I've only seen pictures of the remodeled dining room,  I don't know what they did to the gift shop, if anything.  But corny as it was,  the ambiance of the dining room was distinctive,  and they're trashing that. I can understand why people aren't happy.

Part of the constant enshitification of this country, where everything is turning grey and beige and losing all semblance of personality.

Enshittification is truly the best new word of this current decade
