Wow Cracker Barrel is taking in the shorts....

Cracker Barrel, WTF?
Back in the day, "Country Stores" would often have a wooden barrel
filled with crackers. Yes it was an early "Loss Leader", but it worked.
Free crackers for the kids. What's not to like?
 
I'm not a fan of CB. We went there a few months ago for breakfast and it was horrible, it was like my food was the last to be picked out of a catering tray and wasn't even warm. I'll do Mcdonalds, Chipotle or Red Robin but never again will I go to a CB.

When I was a kid our family go-to on a Saturday morning was Sambos. It was in Buena Park on Crescent and Beach Blvd just past Knotts. Sambos was bad ass! It's crazy what you can find on the internet.

Lol, I remember as a kid we went to my Dad's mom's house for Thanksgiving and my Dad and his Step Father getting into a big argument and we left, Had Thanksgiving Dinner there. Plan was to go to Knotts but it was closed.

They only close on Christmas. This must have been back in the 70s?

Mrs. Knotts Chicken Dinner FTW!
 
Black Bear Diners are great up here, my favorite breakfast place. Good food and plenty of it. I love the bigfoot chicken fried steak breakfast.
CB...not so much, average at best.
The one is Vista is doing great! It's been empty/under construction for about two years now. Goal posts keep getting moved back, month after month. Probably the biggest round of Drama in town, currently. I guess they are having issues with getting new windows... there must only be ONE window company in this world. Basically, before they have even opened... they are feeding us Horseshit...

I would guess that one or more of the subcontractors/ suppliers have not been paid and the job is now in serious trouble.

Back during the Covid shutdown we had an Barber Shop Owner who didn't want to pay us until he could open his business but that wasn't going to happen until the Government allowed him to so he refused to pay. We put a lien on the property and by the end of that day Vestar told him to pay us or he would never open. He had to scramble big time because he couldn't get into a bank to get a loan and if he didn't pay us Vestar would toss him out on the street.

Jobs don't get to this point and not finish unless somebody was playing fast and loose with the funds

It was when we lived in HB so it had to be early 70's. We might have got there late too All I remember is my Dad and Chick ( his step-day) getting into it before dinner because Chick came home drunk from the bar and changed the TV channel all the kids were watching
 
Call me stupid, but I can't figure out what all the Hubub is about.
Because the logo is offensive?
I don't see it. 🤔

You would definitely know the main reasons jobs would be in this stage. Thanks.

Lots of speculation going around town and I just want to try the food.

I think it more had do do with another liberal white woman changing something, in this case considered a piece of Americana, in the name of inclusion and modernization.
 
I'm not going to lie, I didn't expect them to turnaround on this and figured that they were totally committed to brand suicide. I take it as a really really good sign, not just for Cracker Barrel, but for the end of woke bullshit altogether... some corporations aren't feeling constrained and cuffed to diversity equity and inclusion any longer and that's a good thing.
