Cracker Barrel just closed its two remaining stores in Portland, OR and Walmart announced it is closing its only two stores by the end of this month. The reasons they are citing are the Pandemic and crime including uncontrollable shop lifting. Cracker Barrel closed another store in Bend, OR. The thing I don’t understand the politicians in Portland don’t seem to care or do anything about the crime and the disintegration of their city.

North Minneapolis is also loosing stores, no one is quite sure why...

What's a Cracker Barrel? Never heard of them.

It's a racist named-restaurant that serves American food around a systemically racist themed environment. Personally, as a white person I'm offended every time I hear the name Cracker Barrel, or Cracker Jack, or saltine crackers. When will this systemic racism ever end?!!?!?

To bad but thats what the communist ideology gets ya. Its been said before by many but I dont see how an administration could do any worse. Anyone with half a brain knew that Biden was going to be a disaster but this is beyond what anyone thought. The communists that run these blue states are just as bad.

To bad about Cracker Barrel but I dont blame them for pulling out. They allow RVs to camp overnight at most locations so we have been to a few and always found them clean and well run.

Better than having your feelings hurt by mean tweets.

LOL, I hope you're making a joke!

Divide and conquer , BO planted the seed, sniffer harvesting the fruit.

I hope that you understood it as a joke!!!!

Two of the 12 walmart stores in the Portland area are closing. My sister lives there and says that she won't shop at walmart, they never have what you need and the people who shop there are bums. She thinks that's why they are closing.

I think you can say the same thing about Target or any other big chain store like that in cities totally infected with leftists. I'll bet the problem with out of control shoplifting and destruction of property is more in line with reality. I haven't spent a lot of time in Portland, but what I have I'll tell you that it is the most leftist place you can imagine, way worse than anything where most of us live.

Imagine people opening packages and eating what they want out of them, because they feel entitled to take from capitalists. Imagine hundreds of thousands of entitled people who think they deserve what walmart has, without paying for it. Then you have some idea of why walmart is saying enough is enough.

Can't speak for Cracker Barrel in Portland, everywhere I have been to Cracker barrel, the food is really good and you have to wait in line to get in.

I'm starting to feel like I am living out the book "Atlas Shrugged."

Of COURSE! Keep on going with that train. The stuff like the "The Congressional Black Caucus" and the "Congressional Asian Caucus" and the "Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus" or the "Congressional Hispanic Caucus" (from which Hispanic Republicans are barred from membership) are the ones that I enjoying teasing about. IMAGINE if someone tried to start "The Congressional Anglo Caucus"? What a riot!

Soon there won't be a grocery store or pharmacy for miles in these big cities.

Minneapolis is the only city I've been in where I felt like a minority.

I personally don’t feel sorry for any of these Democrat liberal run cities falling apart or the people living in them that voted for the wacko politicians running them.

I really can't believe you guys think this is a bad thing. Perfect opportunity for the Federal government to move in to fill the void and show how socialism/ communism can take care of its people and to put ur tax dollars to work for something good. You guys are living on the dawn of a great history in the making. Shout for joy embrace the evolution of the New World Order or pay the price in the future!

A big bank, based in Portland, has recently taken over the smaller town bank in Idaho , where I used to have my accounts. They have merged with a number of other banks in several states . It was bad timing for them, when the day came to shut down the Idaho bank , taking several days before its customers could log into their new re done accounts.

In their description about themselves, they made no secret of their agendas , just the same as some of the other big banks that have recently gone under and want bailing out, because of those same ideologies . Reading their trigger words , was enough for me. It made me ill reading all the woke agenda stuff right in their website descriptions.

I found the perfect small town bank in MT , and I love it. Should have transferred years ago.

I found out, I wasn't the only one jumping ship . The gal whom I dealt with , as I withdrew my accounts to put in my new bank, bemoaned the fact that a bunch of long time customers were doing the same as I.

She said the girls on the team there, who all know me, were still working there and they will miss me. I told them I will miss them too. I told them it wasn't them at all. But when they are now told to do something, they have to follow the new owner's orders.

I don't know how long banks can hold out and not comply with this flood of American Fascism .

Month or so back, ducked into a grocery store........picked up a couple items and went to self checkout to pay. Quickly realized something was wrong when what I paid for was about $70 more than I bought. Went to service counter to get it back. They told me it was now common for people to come pick stuff up.......take it to self checkout, pretend they are paying, bag it up and walk out the door. Last time I was in that store, there was now a uniformed city cop standing around checkout lines.

Walmart next door has now removed all self checkout lines. I'm told for same reason. Next step would be to hire security.........not sure why.......then close the store.

You can thank St. George for all that.......and more. You reap what you sow.

How is that even possible that a nonpaying group of drug addicted, crazy and lazy thieves that run wild could have a negative impact on society this must be Trumps fault somehow.

They should change their name to graham Cracker Barrel, they are brown so not so racist.
