I think there's a bit of friendly fire here. He's saying that sarcastically in reference to a Yahoo Finance article.
He echoes a lot of my sentiment though. Like we have a cracker barrel at the edge of town funnily enough. But in terms of like people reactions like lets be real, If i'm a massive company do i really care about which side were on? its just all about money whoever pays me the most or makes it easier to get to it, were on board. What messaging do i need to put out, yeah you may lose people but its the cost doing business. Someone else will replace them in time.
You're sorta right, but it's about fit and scale. New customer base? New strategy. Here, leadership chose theater over customer discovery. If they did customer discovery, they would have discovered their customers haven't changed.
You dun cracked your barrel.OH SHIT!!! Yoo, I messed up yawl. I've been talking about Golden Corral the whole time.

It's a trend that is going on for 10+ years now, they keep changing its name, it was flat design, then minimalistic, then will soon evolve to nodesign.

Whenever I hear a complaint about Cracker Barrel, it is 100% targeting the food. I enjoy Cracker Barrel, but I recognize their menu is fairly bland. I got a steak on my last visit and it was terrible. There just isn't consistency in their quality. The food has definitely been going downhill. Address the complaint,
Not your wallet sucka! How much does Applebee's charge for 4 full plates?You're better off eating at Applebees
Fair
McDonalds is big because it's cheap and fast. Buying a burger at most places is a dinner, at McDonalds it's half the price and fast eating.
Not here in California. $18 big mac meal, same price as a sit down restaurant basically.

Cars with bright and exhuberant colored exteriors don't do well in the second hand market. The more you know.There's a noticeable, unfortunate trend in modern design to drop anything colorful and fanciful and go for the safest, blandest designs and colors possible. You see this in car colors. In the 1970/80ies people bought cars in colors like orange, yellow, green, etc. but today it's mostly various shades of gray, black or white.
Same thing has happened in interior design. There's millions of colors/shades on that color wheel, but people go for greys and brown and perhaps a few highlights in a different color. Why do so many people want to decorate their home in the same style as a hotel room or a doctor's office?
Ok, no, this is just reaching, this sort of thing has been happening long before "woke" was a thing, the design language was set by Apple in the early 2000s and iterated on from there by the late 2000s with them pushing minimalist and flat designs.

Thats what happens when you put in a new CEO for two years who came from Starbucks and Godiva with a specialty in brand management and marketing roles.It appears that the fundamental changes have come to an end.
Cracker Barrel suspends redesign of its restaurants after ‘woke’ logo flap
The chain assured customers on Tuesday that if their restaurant hasn’t been remodeled yet, “you don’t need to worry, it won’t be.”
Shes been on the job for two years. It's not like the logo and renos were just approved 3 months ago. This would take a while to go through all the hoops, get approval and time for some stores to even get the remodel.
I do feel kind of bad for her. Her ideas were not off the wall and would make sense for other companies I am sure. But, in my humble opinion, she clearly did not know her company's existing customer base, and she did not recognize the major risk that she was putting her company in by engaging in a strategy that could be perceived as a rejection of the people who were drawn to the original aesthetic.
This story is very similar to Ron Johnson from Apple who got hired to take over JCPenney. Hired to lead the company to success and used his past experiences which may had worked there and it flopped with the new company. Instead of learning about the new company and customers, he just pushed through his Apple way with big budgets and higher prices asap. Again, similar to the CB CEO, get the job and immediately beeline to a certain vision without learning about anything else.
I can't take an argument seriously if it includes that Bud Light was blown out of proportion. They literally lost their position as number 1 beer in the US because of their marketing department. That was a catastrophic failure in my opinion.

has already gone into this a little.
Not true at all. CB stores make money every year except for a couple crappy Covid quarters they lost money. But the profits are dropping despite higher revenue trends. So they got a cost/pricing issue or blowing too much money on operations or marketing. The sales are there, but costs somewhere are dragging down profits.

Regarding profitability - yes, they need to improve there and attracting new customers makes sense. But there are better ways to go about it then making existing customers go away.
Dont worry DF. I dont take anything you say seriously either. When anyone here confronts you on your skewed views you run for the hills supposedly putting people on ignore. You claimed that to me and replied anyway. When I called you out on it you made up some stupid answer why it was ok to reply that time. So you see my posts after all. You cant even stay honest about using the ignore feature. lol
