I have long avoided Cracker Barrel

The thought that someone might see me there was a bit too embarrassing. The only time I ever went there was when my mother in law was in hospice and wanted some clove gum. For that I was willing to risk being seen by someone I knew.

That said, If they rename the place, "Cracker Ass Cracker Barrel, I will gladly go there and even order food.

but in this case, the proposed logo change was stupid. The new logo would have been one of the most bland things around.

It's not much to write home about. And when I did eat there, many years ago, I remember making sure I was in close proximity to a toilet in the hours afterward.
