Cracker Barrel caved

Thanks for the free marketing.

Maybe we can get the board to fire her if we hold out

>>21560722
Why would they fire her? It was a planned marketing stunt. You come up with a fake rebrand, wait for social media to "flip out," idiots like the OP spend time making posts about it, corporation gets unpaid workers like the idiot OP to do their free advertising for them.

Zoomzooms are too young to remember New Coke

>>21560717 (OP)
epic troll
thanks for the free marketing dweebs

>>21560717 (OP)
Notice they didn't say anything about the mcdonalds style booths and generic shit on the walls.

>>21560717 (OP)
we won bros

Our internet boomer ragebait marketing campaign was a huge success!
We made retards angry, and they started talking about us again. We successfully farmed attention.
We did it, reddit. And we'll do it again.

>>21560717 (OP)
>we did what you wanted, right?
>you'll comeback, won't you?
MAGA cancel culture strikes again

>>21560805
Won't help them much if their food still sucks. All the stupid social media discussion about the logo had me thinking back to if GC was ever even good. I remember loving it as a kid 20 years ago, but I wonder if that was due to having the palate of a child, or if they just cut corners into the ground because I went a year or two back and it was fucking terrible.

>>21560717 (OP)
Having one thing not taken from you doesn't mean shit. Until the play places and the old mcdonalds buildings return and the pizza hut buffets flow freely america is still a failed experiment.

>>21560717 (OP)
lmao

>>21560717 (OP)
I don't care that they caved and the new logo did in fact look bad, but the food here has always been mediocre and kind of a boomer joint. I don't get why people get so upset over fast food

>>21560717 (OP)
barrel and cracker returned to the cracker barrel logo

Are they going to change the interior and improve the food too?

>>21560802
do you think this picture is cool or good?

>>21560899
Yes they are buying brand new microwaves to cook the food.

>>21560965
oh cool they're bringing back vomit soup

>>21560734
Its not a fake rebrand, they have already fully remodeled 30 restaurants

>>21560717 (OP)
Bring back the RED EYE GRAVY dummies.

As a loyal golden corral customer I stay winning

>Cracker Barrel nearly went woke, but the American people made their voices heard, and they returned to tradition! Epic win!
i think my computer is trying to make me kill myself

>free marketing
Their stock has plummeted. It's anything but free. Cracker Barrel only caved in to salvage their value, but I don't think that's enough. I reckon that they'll try to sell themselves to anyone willing to get this sinking ship.

Wow we fucking did it guys!!!!!!!! The corporate brand logo stayed the same or maybe it didn't or something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unrelated, I wish every single person involved in the marketing industry in the entire world would die the most painful death imaginable immediately and that their souls would be banished to the deepest, blackest, most miserable pit of Hell to be raped and tortured and devoured and then shit out for it all to happen to them over and over again for eternity by Satan himself.

>>21560717 (OP)
Their chicken tender dippers are really good. They are too expensive though.

What's the ideal Restaurants chain for the man who hates Donald Trump, hates Maga, hates Cracker Barrel, hates conservatives, and hates Republicans?

>>21561032
Just give it 6 months. All the faceless, soulless corporations will flip flop and pander to you soon enough.
Its a game of hopscotch, pandering to everyone, striking while the iron is hot

Reminds me of that time gaben talked about how retarded gamers are.
They had a game
they added a shield in the game
that made player count go up
Then they removed the shield
that also made the player count go up

Nothing matters, just do whatever and you'll succeed

>>21560734
Because HOW DARE SHE even consider changing some logo that no one even gave a fuck about until last week?
Just the idea alone should have her "canceled forever". The fucking WOKENESS of it all!! I wish Kid Rock would just take a machine gun to Cracker Barrel so people know what REAL AMERICANS like us feel about it.
This is a patriotism thing!!! USA USA USA

[this post has been ON-TOPIC, so don't even try it, chuds]

>>21561039
The difference there is that a game is a one time very cheap purchase that people played for years and they keep patching and updating it. If they lose players it won't really matter because they already paid for the game. This is food. Also valve are known for doing whatever they want because they have some kind of vision and not just chasing trends like they did here.

>>21561039
This works when you have cultivated a loyal customer base.
Look at how shitty cracker barrels food has gotten over the last 20 years, yet old timers still go in.
The real issue with Cracker Barrel is that their loyal customer base is dying off.

The CEO isnt wrong, the restaurant is 100% going to die if they cant attract zoomers. Changing the logo and replacing the lights wasnt going to do that though.

>>21560848
Fuck you. YOU are an adult and I doubt you have kids or even ever got laid. Wanting the whole world to resemble YOUR childhood for nostalgia purposes is retarded as fuck.
You don't need some play jungle with brightly colored balls and a jungle gym, even if you do still eat at mcds.
And hardly anyone WANTS fucking Pizza Hut buffets. I don't guess you'd be in there with all of your real world physical friends. Fuck off, ya bitter manchild.

>>21561059
I go to my local Pizza Hut which runs its buffet still, its obviously against corporate rules but nobody has stopped them.

>>21560962
All asian-looking cartoony bullshit IS good. Don't you know that this is an "anime website"??? It is. Always has been and always will be. We need some more pink catgirls about 6 years old in here, you know, being cute and crying and defiant.. maybe a GIF of one of them cutely throwing a little cute baby fit. There's nothing at all weird about grown me loving that stuff and posting it all over the cooking board. The entire website was designed for that to be everywhere. Didn't you know that? Moot was a huge weeb and he intended for anime to be the main attraction for the site, no matter what board. So don't come in here questioning the AI anime-ification of an image. This is OUR place and if you don't like it you can go somewhere else where ANIME isn't the main attraction.

>>21560990
Gross. I bet you think you're really "winning" some food cost strategy when you go in there and demolish plate after plate of trashy cheap food like it's your drug of choice. You're a real smart shopper.

>>21561024
hahaha, you believe in the "afterlife"!

>>21561032
Dining out really shouldn't be political. Why are you involved in trying to politicize everything? Are YOU not tired of it? Do you like taking every subject and forcing it through the lens of absolutist, two-sides political conflict?

>>21561062
It's not against corporate rules.

>>21560805
Farmed attention away from the many troubles of daddy trump

>>21561032
Have you tried >>>/r/ope?

>>21561090
Yes, it's all a vast conspiracy. Someone called Cracker Barrel and asked that they quietly change the logo KNOWING what would happen and thereby distracting everyone from something about the president. This is "4D Chess", folks. Whatever the fuck that means.

>>21561082
>Do you like taking every subject and forcing it through the lens of absolutist, two-sides political conflict?
Forced my hand

>>21561098
Who did? I hate him as much as the next rational person but your post made no sense at all. People don't eat places based on how they vote. You're trying to put politics where no one else even tries to put them. They'd have tried if it made sense.
I'm pretty sure most rightwingers eat at Chilis and Applebees and Olive Garden because it's the opposite of fancy and cultured, aka "elitist". There's an embracing of low culture, which is pretty hypocritical when their god is a gilded billionaire with golden toilets and such.
Don't forget Obama's "Dijon mustard" scandal.
It was lame then and it's lame now. Tying food to politics doesn't really get any traction so they gave up. Everyone eats. That's a non partisan issue.

why is it that every time this restaurant gets brought up, the thread becomes a place for unprovoked leftists to shadowbox?
nobody cares, take it to /pol/

>>21561117
tldr, dont pretend the last 8 years havent happened

if you care about the cracker barrel logo you should give a good hard think about why you do and whether you should

>>21561059
Thanks chatgtp but you'll never be a real sentient machine.

>>21560717 (OP)
Hope you bought the planned dip before the corporate interests continued the plan.

Wtf is cracker barrel and why is ck suddenly spamming their shit all over the joint?
Seems a bit suspicious.. fishy even.

>>21561144
>i came into a thread about something I don't care about to bitch at other people talking about the thing I don't care about
You are not a serious person who should be giving advice to anyone.

>>21560802
Cracker Barrel has never been a buffet place. They're a sloppy sit down restaurant with badly made food and an okay gift shop waiting room where they purposely take longer to seat you so as to trap normalfags and get them to buy useless garbage.

>>21561032
>Haitian owned

>>21560717 (OP)
Yeah obviously, they saw they were alienating their only demographic and failing to attract a new one. Any company which doesn't cave in that situation dies, and honestly even caving at this point may not save them.

>>21561032
Drano makes a beverage just for people like you, buy some and chug it.

>>21560965
Looks the same as mine and your average weeknight slop.

>>21560781
The reactionary left wants this to be "just about a logo". They know it's really about the changes inside the restaurant and the open contempt the company has for its customers but they want everyone to think it was just about a logo so they can continue on with giving the finger to the type of people who liked eating there.
Undo the remodel, fire everyone involved with it. Make an example of them other companies will think twice before doing something similar. If they won't, then stop going there and let it go bankrupt as an alternative way of making an example of them.

>>21561141
Who forced your hand to make such a stupid political post? You need to answer that. I don't know what "the last 8 years" means in relation to your post.

>>21561120
I love Gavin right now. And it's hilarious that so many people who support what he's actually lampooning don't get it. It's apparently really mature and statesmanlike when the president posts that shit. LOLOL

>>21561155
Yes. It's probably bots and government agents pushing some sinister hidden agenda of propaganda. We should all be skeptical of these "people" posting about a current event.

Fucking schizo.

Probably a non-chain fine dining establishment with an actual Chef who writes the menu and shops locally every day for that seasonal menu. That seems like some fancy "lib" shit. "Gotta know how to speak fuckin' Frog to order 'le burger' or some shit."
Keep it simple. Number 4 with sweet tea for me!

Yeah you can chug some Drano too

Yes, I'm sure you can afford to eat like that every day, couldn't possibly be empty virtue signaling with one hand while you scarf a cheeseburger down your fat gullet.

Whenever anything vaguely food related gets posted on /pol/, it also gets posted here. Usually within minutes.
It's TDS pol retards trying to start political arguments on every board.
There's probably even a cracker barrel thread on /x/

For what purpose? 90% of their clientele is 60+.

>>21561272
The old Cracker Barrel was already on its way to bankruptcy because the people who liked it were dying off from old age. Doing nothing meant certain death.

>>21561045
Whatever tou say john oliver. Now tell me about how multiculturalism is great for germany.

>>21560809
this is not nearly as bad as making a gross tranny the face of your brand
>>21560734
you're retarded and probably also think le Russians 'hacked' the 2016 american election. they already rebranded dozens of stores, and the logo oversimplification is part of a broader globohomo trend

This scandal finally convinced me that conservatives are even more retarded than liberals. Also Cracker Barrel sucks shit and the store gimmick is gay. It was my mom's favorite restaurant.

>>21560717 (OP)
>change logo back
>still make new goyslop dystopian box restaurant
they've just put the mask on, anons.

what was woke about the new logo or unwoke about the old one or whatever this fuss is about anyway? never heard of cracker barrel before, sounds like a lot of kerfuffle about nothing to me.

Grifters will look for the most paper-thin excuse to try to make you get mad at something so they can use it as a vehicle for making a dozen low-effort news update videos that rehash the same shit for their youtube/tiktok/whateverthefuck channel. The CEO was a woman with thick-rimmed glasses so the change stopped just being dumb, it became part of the wokeness.

fell for it, again... again... again... again... again... again.. (x12324 this year alone)

>>21560802

same as the girl next to him: that fucker who's pulled out an easel, a palette, brushes, and is painting them, whose painting was posted.

>>21561390
This. Those faggots treat other boards like a MMORPG and call anyone who dares challenge or troll them a raider from another site.

>>21561885
Nothing woke about the logo itself, just soulless corporationism. OTOH the feminist CEO and DEI policy she put in place are woke, and it was her idea to change the logo, so there is some woke behind it. Not directly *in* the logo, but the change was ordered by a wokie.

Yeah, chuds all switched to different beers owned by Anheuser-Buwch

>>21562588
Did they? You've got research to prove this?

Sounds like cope to me. Anheiser-Busch actually ordered a third less grain this year. Bud Light alone doesn't use 1/3rd of their grain. So this means they're suffering across brands now.

Yeah no duh, that's the problem. Hence why they need marketing.

>>21561885
Nothing. It was shit and soulless, but the "MUH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE" only came from a handful of retards who wouldn't have been listened to or affected the outcome in any way if they weren't the ones the "journalists" pointed out.

I cannot believe sysco slop boxes with a southern aesthetic changing it's interior decor and logo is the most important thing to Americans.

America is a lunatic asylum.

BRING BACK THE SMOKING SECTION

Marketing really is just the concept of taking your soul and dignity and shitting all over both in front of whoever will pay you the most to do so

>>21563019

>>21563019
Things are dire, have been dire, and will remain dire and distractions are easier than ever to come by so people just get mad at irrelevant shit instead of fixing their own problems or bolstering their position in this lunatic world.
