    I’ve always associated cracker barrel with “angry old white people who think black pepper is spicy” and their meaner variant, the post-church crowd. so… not particularly surprised?

      Yeah, I’m more surprised they had any sort of DEI language to begin with (of course it was clearly just pandering, so).

        All companies expressing any political meta is pandering.

        Any adherence to a political meta isn’t a testament of their values, it is a testament of their customers’ values.

        Companies want the money of their customers’ and they will say or do anything they think will keep making them money.

        If you think any company supports DEI or LGBTQ issues genuinely, I have a bridge to sell you.

      Lol, I went to some chain and got the chicken Alfredo, the guy warns me it’s a bit spicy. I tell him no worries, bring it on. The thing has like 6 flakes of red pepper on it. I figured he had to warn me bc some Karen complained.
