Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:

Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:

When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that’s just what we've done.

You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren't shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings. You flat out told us we were wrong.

We listened.

Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.

1. Translation: Bigotry and homophobia is A-Okay with us!

They should use that in their advertising.

2. Not that I have much opportunity...

but I'll never step foot into a Cracker Barrel.

3. Southern cooking, grease, butter, and fat.

I'll pass.

[Gothmog]

4. Too bad

I really do not like the restaurant but I was willing to give it another try based on the removal of the DD merchandise. Now I can back to my current indifference to this chain

5. ...and please check out our new 'Gays Only" section.

It's conveniently located adjacent to the "Non-Whites" area.

Fuck Cracker Barrel.

6. Me, I'll wait until the validity of this is confirmed.

It is the internet after all.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Seems confirmed...

"Less than 48 hours after Cracker Barrel announced plans to pull Duck Dynasty items off its shelves in the wake of cast member Phil Robertson's anti-gay comments, the Southern country store and restaurant chain has reversed its decision.

<...>

The restaurant was the first major retailer to announce its stance on the Robertson scandal since his remarks went public."

And the problem isn't Cracker Barrel as much as the assholes who fell for the duck bullshit.

18. This makes them look worse than they would have in the first place.

Now they look like spineless weasels by re-reversing themselves.

[TreasonousBastard]

19. Not to their customers.

7. The collapse of Western civilization is almost complete.

8. Cracker Barrel makes its living selling to backwards bigots, so it figures that it would

promote bigotry.

[RedCappedBandit]

17. It is a bit ironic, though

The backwards bigots who shop there and buy the duck products will be supporting A&E, who are the ones on the proper side of this issue after all.

9. I actually cabled every store for their POS system

and I have been to their HQ many times. They actually tried to take a stand but got beat back by a vocal minority. It is hard to run a business when the majority of their customers are like Phil. When I went to HQ I can say their were pretty nice people. I'm sure they are still using the cable. At least they tried.

10. And again, the money wins out over principle.

[stillwaiting]

11. Just don't eat at any of the big chain restaurants.

They are working against the interests of average Americans. All of them.

They serve globalist investor interests over the interests of the people living in our communities.

I really wish more Americans would wake up to this fact and begin to patronize local businesses more often.

14. +1000

[RedCappedBandit]

13. Cowards.

They really could have made a point, here. They chose not to.

$$$$$$$$

15. I had thought they had a history of discriminatory policies a la Salvation Army, Chikfila, etc. n/t

16. My son works for Cracker Barrell

in a small college town. Half the male wait staff is gay and are pretty open about it with their coworkers. One of the new managers in his store is gay. If some of the people complaining about CB's original decision only knew who was cooking and serving their food, why they might get the vapors or something!

By the way, he says the after-church crowd absolutely lives up to their reputation for being small tippers and complainers.
