Yeah, I wouldn't call this the most explicit example of being woke. I think people are just going with their vibes since the cultural subverters are not always going to be upfront and obvious. An X user did find a DEI person on the board though.
Tag checks out.
More like it's a struggling business that is partly struggling because its main customers are literally dying and they aren't attracting new young customers.When the decision to remake the logo and completely sterilize the interior design in an attempt to be completely inoffensive to anyone, yes, that is the definition of "woke".
Oh no, the logo had a southern character and the interior was reminiscent of old southern charm, better change it so as to not appear "problematic".
The company has achieved record sales recently and it's stock price was at all time highs years back. The problems they have are costs of operations and workers.
Yeah I mean they did a trick and added an extra week to their fiscal calendar, plus inflation.
I checked the menu from the Buffalo location and prices can be jacked up. Almost every entree is only $12-$15. Sounds like a bargain place to eat. You only hit $20 if you order, steak, shrimp or ribs.
I don't really buy this when vinyls made such a comeback for no reason recently. There will always be a demand for vintage stuff if it's appreciated or advertised a certain way. I say this as someone who didn't give a shit about Antiques Roadshow, but now....

Just seems to follow the trend of giving everything a boring corporate and sterile modern design:
McDonalds caboose bday parties were awesome! Went to two of them in grade school, grade 2 and 3.

You didn't understand the point of my post at all
Oh so you think because vinyls are popular with the youths then Cracker Barrel must also be popular with them?

Where do they get these numbers? Restaurant employees don't tally the age of customers.Oh so you think because vinyls are popular with the youths then Cracker Barrel must also be popular with them?
Yes I'm sure the Gen-Z'ers buying 16 versions of every Taylor Swift album are falling all over themselves to eat at Cracker Barrel.
Can Cracker Barrel survive as its customers age?
Cracker Barrel's recent quarterly earnings results were underwhelming, with traffic during the key summer travel season coming short of expectations and revenue that was roughly flat.www.dailymail.co.uk
The graphic in that article has their demographics breakdowns. It's from CB's own investor presentations from 2 years ago.
A big corporate chain like CB will in fact poll customers for this stuff. They don't have exact data, but they don't need it to know generally what the demographics of their customer base is.
It's definitely not great food but I've learned to enjoy it. My wife loves the place so we go fairly regularly. She's not happy about the redesign. Said it's stupid like changing Aunt Jemima was stupid. That's my girl.
I don't fall in their age range at all, but I can flat out tell you they have prime real-estate to overhaul the brand and sell straight Americana. Their possibilities are endless. If they focused on specific time periods or types of food, I'd go there in a heartbeat. Instead of leaning into their schtick and giving customers a great experience, they castrated itOh so you think because vinyls are popular with the youths then Cracker Barrel must also be popular with them?

Ahh, that's right, polls. President Hillary told me how accurate those are.
You have never been alive during a time where you could not sit with white people. If you think that the problem is you.
Your projecting your fears dude. I see black regulars at the local Cracker Barrell all the time. Like 30 percent of there regs are black and probably around 20%+ non white.
I find it amazing how DF can turn any OT thread to be about himself or racism.
Hey I get that brother. I used to eat at this IHOP in Maryville all the time, simply because it was kind of our "spot" after local live shows and stuff. We used to hit it like twenty of us to a table lol. Good times, but yeah sometimes ya just end up with a regular restaurant, I understand that completely. Where we live in Maine, our go to local restaurant is the fuckin grocery store lol, only thing affordable anymore! Hannaford's lobster rolls are just as good as the local place, Governor's, for literally a third of the price, so I'm jealous you even get to go out to eat often lol. At this point, I'd be happy to just be able to afford eating anywhere at least once a month -_-
He'd go mental if he lived in Toronto metro area. It's always surveyed as among the most diverse cities in the world with tons of different people and distinct neighborhoods. Everyone seems to get along.
Sorry to hear that man. The past five years have been rough for sure. Costs a fortune just to order pizza.
Ya ain't kidding brother. Part of the problem is I love seafood, and I make a decent little lower middle class income, so while I'm not wealthy, I always used to feel that we pretty much ate what we wanted and bought what we wanted within reason. The past three years, that has changed on a massive level. We don't go out to eat anymore except for special events, like our anniversary, her birthday, or my daughter's birthday. We don't even go out for Father's and Mother's Day anymore, just make each other something at home :/. Pretty lame.....
I don't eat at diner/breakfast places much but all I know is IHOP is way better than Denny's! First time I had IHOP a few years ago and their breakfasts are much better.
