Next up, Cracker Barrel.





I don't think they know who their core demographici s, lol.

Why any corporation evens weighs in on controversial or political issues, on either side, is beyond me.
Why risk alienating a big chunk of your customers?

Unless you NEED that ESG score...

They are already struggling since they added booze.

lol

I thought they added booze BECAUSE they were sliding downhill?

I think they just steepened the slope, lol.

Lego has the little boy from the Woman’s soccer team as a spokesperson it seems they learned nothing from Subway.

They've been slipping for awhile.

Reacted badly to the accusations from those that aren't crackers.
Then something slipped in quality.
Then to try to gain new customers they added booze forgetting just who their Sunday crowd is.
(Who would in all likelihood enjoy a mimosa with lunch but wouldn't dare in public, lol)
Now this.

At least we know now it's not only the food that sucks.

I went in the local Krogerva couple weeks ago and they had a “rainbow” display right when you walk through the door. I left mad and haven’t been back. Trying to decide what to do. I’ve been shopping there 30 years. I quit Cracker Barrel a couple years ago. Three of us went in, sat down, ordered and ate without a mask and some girl decided she’d show herself at the cash register by telling me we’d have to mask if we came back. I asked her why she waited until after we ate to tell us. I told her I wouldn’t be back. There were maybe 10 people eating in there. I told her she ought to worry more about that than being woke and brainwashed.

They believe they can out last any backlash. Chances are they will because of convenience. They are betting people aren’t going to regress to gardening, raising and butchering their own food. Some will but it won’t be enough.

Kroger makes their employees wear an apron with a rainbow on it and put out a statement as to what it is for.

I NEVER thought the AB boycott would last this long, but pleasantly surprised.
Each week gets worse, and doesnt take into.account declining bar sales, only retail


Stupid SHOULD hurt...

Kroger, Walmart and Aldi are only grocery stores in this area. All celebrating their “pride” this month.

Lowes has gone half woke I guess. Nothing "pride" for the customers to see, but I walked into our computer room the other day and it was top to bottom rainbow crap with some big banner talking about what "pride" is.

I have to ask this. I am an old guy so I have to ask why can't they do what they do and not shove it down everybody else's throat?

Do these comanies have to do this for their banking? Why else would they all feel the need to do this?

If it was as important as food and water it would have been over by now.

Yes

They are being pushed by large investment houses that are pushing it. (Blackrock)
These investment places thru your IRA's control many shares of their stocks.
If they want a company to push this crap the corporations will.

So your investments are more than likely the thing that is being used to push this stuff.

I hope my response does not get this thread axed, but it will be the truth as far as I see it.

The companies are doing this because of the bankers and the folks that actually run the government encourage it and give breaks to them if they do, or they may mandate it. You and I don't run the government. Corporate banks that are tied to the current administration and other global financial institutions do.

Our administration is full of a bunch of corrupt, evil, pedophile, child trafficking individuals. So is much of the rest of the western world as far as the leadership goes. This is gaining traction, because the people in charge want it. The force behind it has been a reprobate since Eden, then doubled down at Sodom and Gomorrah, and then again doubled-down after the Obama presidency (another reprobate). Its the same story, it does not change. Its just that now, the American people are so pathetic, not only do we accept and allow it, but most voters want it. Same old game, just different time and different players.

pretty much nailed it
