THE MORNING RANT: Cracker Barrel Went Woke and Now It’s Going Broke
In June of 2023 Cracker Barrel went woke, deciding that it could bring in new customers and investors by sexualizing the front porch with rainbow-striped rocking chairs. As it turned out, that was not a good marketing strategy, and it had the effect of repulsing existing customers who don’t want country cooking to be sexualized, be it gay, straight, or otherwise.
The fallout was immediate, with consumers announcing boycotts and the stock price taking an initial hit. Despite a lack of headlines or buzz since then, the boycott has continued and has been devastating to Cracker Barrel. The restaurant chain permanently ran off a great many loyal customers, and the persistently “unexpected” decline in traffic is taking a serious financial toll on the company. It was just announced this week that Cracker barrel is slashing its dividend by 81%. Cracker Barrel stock has fallen from $102 per share at the start of “Pride Month” 2023 to $49 per share now, a 52% decline. “Cracker Barrel (CBRL) Stock Down on Dividend Cut, Dismal View” [Yahoo Finance – 5/17/2024]
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL recently announced an update on its third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 financial results. The company expects lower-than-anticipated traffic to negatively impact its performance. Additionally, it announced plans to accelerate investments in organic growth by reallocating capital and reducing its quarterly dividend to $0.25 per share from $1.30. Following the announcements, the stock declined 10.3% in after-hours trading on May 16.I first wrote about this in June 2023
When I want a catfish dinner and some old time candy, I could not possibly care less about the sexual behaviors of the restaurant’s staff or patrons. I’d be grossed out if Cracker Barrel was devoting a month to celebrating heterosexual sex. It may not just be ESG pressure, there is every possibility that Cracker Barrel hired an Ivy League MBA to work some magic on its brand image, just like Bud Light did. Oh well, even if heartland American stop going to Cracker Barrel, maybe those lost customers can be replaced by coastal leftists who are all wrapped up in sexual identities. So long as Cracker Barrel pivots to serving sustainable, organic, locally sourced, GMO-free fare in hip, urban settings, there should be no problem replacing the customer base that is being run off.The customer backlash was immediate and devastating, as business in June and July 2023 plummeted. “Marketing misfires.” That’s one way of putting it.
In a rare downbeat financial accounting, Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores acknowledged that its marketing and media efforts likely worsened a traffic drop-off during the quarter ended July 28. We had expected the traffic would improve in June and July with the onset of the summer travel season,” said [CEO] Cochran. “Unfortunately, this didn't materialize, and our restaurants and retail sales performance came in below our expectations.It kept getting worse, and Cracker Barrel’s CEO Sandy Cochran stepped down from her position before year’s end. “Cracker Barrel Sees 7.1% Dip In Traffic Amid Ongoing Decline” [Tasting Table – 12/02/2023] I have been to Cracker Barrel with gay relatives. They did not feel unwelcome. Sexualizing the place does not make it any more welcoming. I’m straight, but I don’t need cleavage or tight outfits on waitresses to make me feel welcome. I would be just as disgusted if Cracker Barrel had decided to become a Hee Haw Hooters in order to attract more straight men. In a Wall Street Journal article last week, it states that the new CEO, Julie Masino, is seeking “to update its image, menu and retail selection to be able to grow in an increasingly tough environment for restaurants.” No, the first thing Cracker Barrel needs to do is apologize for insulting its loyal customers by sexualizing the restaurant and for effectively smearing its loyal customers as being “unwelcoming” people. If it doesn’t, Cracker Barrel might as well go full woke. Perhaps it could hire Dylan Mulvaney away from Bud Light and have him cross-dress in Daisy Dukes while drinking an old-time pop from a rainbow-colored rocking chair. Alissa Heinersheid has experience using for Mr. Mulvaney for such promotions, and I believe she is available. Or maybe Cracker Barrel could run a Gillette-style ad accusing its legacy customers of being loathsome bigots and sexual predators. There is also plenty of opportunity to refresh the merchandise at Cracker Barrel. Instead of folksy wall art stating “Live, Laugh, Love” perhaps Cracker Barrel can sell signs stating “Hate has no home here” or a variety of “In this house we believe…” type wall art. Target can serve as a model for selling “alternative” products to children. If Cracker Barrel will not apologize for its “marketing misfires” it will never rebound. Get woke, go broke.

How carefully constructed that statement is. It's ambiguous in a pretty skillful way.
What didn't materialize? Did the improvement in traffic not materialize on its own absent other indicators (e.g., poor business management), or did the improvement in traffic not materialize because the summer travel season didn't materialize (e.g., secular headwinds of which the company was a common victim among others)?

I still take the other side of this.
Don't apologize. Apologies are meaningless, empty words. Long gone are the days of saying, "I'm sorry" while crossing your fingers behind your back and then changing nothing.
Apologize if you want to, but I wouldn't bother. What you need to do is *change.* Change publicly and loudly. Fire the people involved. Implement - and publicize - new operational practices to avoid shitting on your customers. Make actual, visible, observable changes. People will notice.
But apologies? Why bother? It means nothing because the core problem is that you've lost trust. If I don't trust you, what meaning does an apology have?

I'm really way past tired of normal heterosexual sexuality and desire being shat upon by people who ought to know better. Somehow a bunch of people who are too cowardly to just say "I morally disapprove of homosexuality and won't support businesses that support it" have convinced themselves that disavowing all sexuality is the key to success in the culture wars. "I'm not against gay sex, I'm against all sex!" Good grief.

I don't think "the corporations" are fine with this. I think the woke movement in every corporation and institution in the country over the past 10-20 years has been a result of the Marxist left's Long March Through the Institutions.
The plan has always been to infiltrate the institution at the highest levels and either use it to push their agenda or destroy it. Either way, the Marxist left wins. They destroy a good American institution/corporation and turn it into a woke institution to spread their agenda to propagandize the culture... or... they simply destroy a good American institution/corporation.

Last weekend I went to a breakfast place that has a line out the door all morning. Why? Because it’s excellent food at a not too unreasonable price. People do go out but they no longer pay $12 for a breakfast made from Sysco frozen crap, which is what Cracker Barrel is.

There were no public firings. No real damage control. No new practices. They just moved the people involved around and went back to "Rally 'Round the Flag" nonsense for a bit to try to ignore the problem.
As I said in #87, things are starting to change. In the deep past of 4 years ago, an apology, no matter how contrived and inauthentic, probably would have sufficed. Now, many more people know how the game is played, and won't be impressed by what would have worked before. The first question after "did they apologize?" is "who and how many were fired?" That's a positive change.

I agree although I don't think BL "ignored" the problem. They didn't fire anyone because that would have exposed the lie that this was just some lower-level rogue marketers who did this unbeknownst to the higher-ups.

Nope. But if you're in the headspace of, "this is pointless. I can never, ever get ahead unless I hit the lottery and I have no prospects for meaningful improvement, so I might as well enjoy what little I have now given that the future is more of the same or even worse," then I get it.

Oh yes, it is. I think so, anyway.
But it's now brutal and unfixable for those who get caught up in it. There's no trust and there is zero respect. The perpetrators in board room and marketing department refuse to address the problem in any meaningful way, and the market refuses to accept disingenuous bullshit like it used to.
So if you end up in the spotlight, there is only one consequence: permanent market degradation. Outright collapse and failure is rare, but "this company now has permanently-lower enterprise value and there is no way to recover it" is not entirely uncommon at this point. That's a good thing, but it is sad that the conditions are now "root for their destruction, rather than hope for their reform."

The really interesting thing, aside from the sheer audacity of it all, is that they're crying about weaponization of the Justice system.
In a letter to President Joe Biden on Thursday, the Congressional Black Caucus expressed support for her cause, repeating claims made by Mosby and her attorneys that the prosecution was politically motivated,
As a nation that leads by example, our justice system must not be weaponized to prevent progress toward a more perfect union,” wrote Rep. Steven Horsford, a Nevada Democrat who chairs the caucus.
We expect such excuses for black malfeasance from the CBC, of course, but this tells me that they're aware that many people now think DOJ has been weaponized by the Dems, and it's starting to hurt them. Naturally, their first instinct to is accuse us of what they're doing.

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Pro-Gaza tent encampments on college lawns. Student-led protests in solidarity with Palestinians. Clashes with college administrators and police.
In the eyes of Republicans, the pro-Palestinian protests that have spread across the nation’s college campuses are a dangerous display of disorder and antisemitism – and a political weapon to be used against President Joe Biden.
The college protests have opened a new line of attack for Republicans against Biden and other Democrats heading into this fall’s elections. Republicans are looking to exploit the schism that has developed within the Democratic Party over the war in Gaza by pinning the campus unrest on Biden and the progressive left. Biden is ineffective and incapable of stopping the country from dissolving into chaos, they argue, while the party’s far-left flank is pushing lawlessness and anarchy.

The president spoke at the HBCU's graduation ceremony on Sunday despite the threat of interrupting anti-Israel protesters. During his speech, he talked about George Floyd and how Black Americans face racism in the country.
"You missed your high school graduation. You started college just as George Floyd was murdered, and there was a reckoning on race. It's natural to wonder if the 'democracy' you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy? That Black men are being killed in the street," Biden said.
He continued, "What is democracy? The trail of broken promises still leaves Black communities behind. What is democracy? You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does it mean? As you've heard before, to be a Black man who loves his country even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure."
There were no apparent references to putting people back in chains, though.

The New York Times must have access to some data showing that Biden is starting to pull away (or perhaps that Trump is falling behind), because their Saturday online “front page” is working hard to drag Biden down. Here are the “above the fold” stories up right now:
Headline: In His Beloved Philadelphia, Biden Faces Wariness From Black Voters
Headline: Biden Flipped Georgia in 2020. This Year Could Be Different.
And the top Opinion piece is: Why the Manhattan Trial Is Probably Helping Trump
The NYT is definitely nervous that this race is turning into a boring and non-profitable landslide!
And today it's Biden having trouble in traditionally blue Nevada.
primary polls missed by outside the margin of error numbers. It seems actual voters don't agree with the polls. The voters must be defective because we keep hearing here that the polls are accurate.
It will be a landslide and NYT will be on the losing side. I'm so sick of this shit. Presidential polls need to be banned immediately. Newspapers only use them to make money.

1. I always, always love the idea that the NYT is secretly (actually openly, according to this lot) right leaning and anti-Biden.
2. Yes, polls are consistently wrong. They have been for a while. Polling is deeply broken, but these people are relying on secret polls that the NYT knows about as reason to go after Biden.
I try to be kind to these people, figuring they're largely just partisans on the opposite side with different sets of underlying values and assumptions about policy and life, but dammit if they aren't bug fuck nuts.

Way back in 1990 I was with a small group driving from Austin to College Station for a football game. We were drinking a lot, and someone needed to pee. Somewhere near Old Dime Box, we got off onto a really small rural road, and then suddenly this true old Texas general store appeared. Like Luckenbach but for real. We went in there to see if they had a bathroom, and it had everything Cracker Barrel aspires to be - old men in straw hats playing Moon and 42, a small stage with a dude on a guitar pickin a few notes, a small bar, a bunch of old timey merchandise, etc. It was one of the last of the real deals. I have looked and looked for that place since and never been able to find it, or even prove its existence.
I went to a Cracker Barrel for the first time ever down in Kerrville a few weeks ago, and it was awful. So kitsch and so contrived, and the food sucked.

Goes back to what I said at #68. The Marxist leftists who control corporate America do not have profit as their motivation. Their motivation is to infiltrate corporate America and then either use these institutions to destroy traditional American values and push their own Marxist values on society and culture (NBA, NFL, MLB, Disney, etc)... or... if that doesn't work, simply be satisfied they have destroyed an institution previously having traditional American values.
I think the statements they make in favor of the degenerate freakazoids is simply to keep the ESG money coming in to keep the corporation afloat.

"Nuclear War: A Scenario" by Annie Jacobsen (2024) brings us up to date on the status and capabilities of the strategic forces and C3 infrastructure of the US, USSR, and DPRK. Most of the book is a minute-to-minute timeline of a hypothetical all-out nuclear war scenario. I didn't find any errors of fact, but I have two quibbles. First, there's far too much hand-wringing about how awful it all is. Well, duh! Second, she uses sentence fragments as modifying clauses to their preceding sentences. She does it at least a hundred times, and it grates on this grammar pedant. Example: "US Stratcom HQ gets hit first. By an onslaught of SLBMs launched off the East Coast." Why her editor let her do that, I can't guess. Anyway, I read it all, with sustained interest. (Then my cat Tom barfed on it. No joke.)

That is interesting. I know Cracker Barrel didn't choose June as Pride Month, but I wonder if they were counting on the summer influx as a way of boosting support for the rainbow campaign, through that same sort of ambiguity. i.e. forget about the the traditional summer boosts, SURELY it's our inclusive marketing that's drawing these new crowds, right. (....right?)
Instead, though, they're having to appeal to a sort of vagueness to excuse the decline.
I mean the numbers are obviously pretty bad, but I have to wonder just how much of an extra disaster the marketing was to have made the otherwise good times so bad.
Of course Bidenomics is another disaster variable that also complicates things.

Specifically I think they mentioned the female kicker, Sarah Fuller, at Vanderbilt who couldn't kick well at all, but was used by Vanderbilt in 2020 for some woke publicity.
Her kickoff went 25 yards.

And I think you and I specifically discussed it before, but during her field goal attempt you can tell that the Tennessee players were told to not defend.
You can literally see the talented edge rushers stop running when it is clear that they are about to get around the horrible Vandy line.

I disagree. I've never been in a Hooters, because I assume that if you're using a gimmick like young girls in tight shirts, your focus isn't on the food.
For the same reason, I avoid places like the Mt. Vernon Inn at Mt. Vernon, and the Williamsburg Inn in ...you know.

2018 was the trial run. And it worked extremely well, especially in Michigan, ushering in numerous radicals into office locally and at federal level.
Once they got away with that and improved on it, they knew they had 2020. And 2022.
I still remain worried about Texas. 1.2mil lead for GOP in 2012 to 631k lead in 2020. Hope Texas GOP is on guard for steal attempt there.

I don't know anything about the NFL or the team, but IIRC when reading about this hero (and I don't use that term lightly, because he is risking everything for what he believes in and setting an example for others) he was crucial in at least two Superbowl wins. One kick to tie and another to win, maybe?
He's not easily replaced with another male, much less a chick.

Apparently even the KC Chiefs cheerleaders are spouting off. Insufferable is an understatement.

More exactly "Persian" is a subset of "Iranian". Not that the Arabs ever much cared about the distinction between a Parthian or a Persian

My street has young couples pushing a baby carriage and retired couples walking to the farmer's market. Occasionally we have small groups of boys riding their bikes. One winter we had a dad towing his kids on sleds after a snowfall.

I knew there was a fictional character from Fort Wayne and was trying to remember who it was. Thanks for reminding me.
Jimmy Stewart's character in The Philadelphia Story was from South Bend, and that's all I could think of.

Ever seen a pair of German Shepherds (that only needed to go out for a quick pee) go apeshit over a wayward armadillo creeping past your house?
Epic.
In the middle of a hurricane?
More Epic.
And having to chase down said German Shepherds in the middle of said hurricane?
Not Epic.
GSD #1 was found head dead deep in the armadillo's hole digging for all she was worth. GSD #2 was right behind her, obscured by a torrent of dirt coming out from under GSD #1.

I parked at the pump on Saturday. Coming through B.C. with a loaded car trailer. There was no other place to park anyway, and the pump failed to give me a receipt, so I had to go in the store.

You can’t convince me this all isn’t all a long-march conspiracy to specifically destroy Cracker Barrel because it caters to conservative Southern white people. The left hates Cracker Barrel. They’ve always hated Cracker Barrel. I remember them trying to slime the company for alleged racist hiring practices or customer service, but it didn’t click. Either way, this smells like yet another infiltrate-and-destroy operation like the Boy Scouts.
Harrison Butker:
That op-ed reminds me of that anecdote Film Threat shared that someone at the Disney all-hands meeting about JohnLasseter’s forced departure, when some woman stood up and exclaimed “Can we get a woman to run this place?” Every time the angry feminists get riled up, they then insist that the only justice is to replace the offender with one of them. (What was it I said about infiltrating and destroying organizations they spent years heaping untold amounts of hate on? Again, I’m old enough to remember when the left unconditionally hated both Disney and the NFL…and this was as recent as the ‘00s.)

Back in the day when I frequented the Flying Saucer, especially in San Antonio, the wait staff consisted of attractive females (for the most part) in short plaid skirts and knee socks. (All above legal drinking age, so stop.). The place lost its charm when they stopped doing that, and including dudes on the wait staff.

My mother.. was the decorator for the founder's home at one point! The restaurant was dying way before this debacle. The food quality has become horrible. The all the food that was supposed to be "Home Made" now sucks. This just puts a final nail in the coffin. It is a zombie it will walk for a while moaning "Sweeeeeet Teaaaa!" and then fall over into a bankruptcy coffin. Kind of like what KFC, Pizza Hut and Applebees will do..
