I mean does anyone else remember the story about Cracker Barrel refusing to seat black families, or is that just me?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

i don't remember it, but i believe it.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 3 points 57 minutes ago

The real positive to take away from this is Cracker Barrel is dogshit food, and there's so many other equivalent dogshit chain restaurants usually located in the dogshit vicinity of a Cracker Barrel, that you can still eat dogshit, and not have to go inside a new, modern, dogshit Cracker Barrel.

... Just go to Applebee's or Chili's. It's the same dogshit.

This is like, the first time I agree with the Right on something.

Not that it's woke, but that the rebrand is terrible.

[–] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

As a European, I don't know what Cracker Barrel is, and I couldn't care less.

[–] PlasmaTrout@lemmy.wtf 6 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Most Americans don't care either honestly.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I ate there once and it was horrible. It takes a ape isl kind of incompetence to be bad at breakfast.

[–] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

During lockdown my team was "mandatory local support" so we got take out lunch paid for 2 days a week day. Friday was cracker barrel day since it was close and filled us up enough for an "average Friday workload". Mainly lazy days not wanting to get out of chairs due to "CB gut". Cracker barrel will forever be "cinder block gut" to me now.

But ehh, another dumb rebranding freakout that doesnt matter. You are still buying slop to go in your belly.

Edit: Cracker Barrel was my shit when my family would do road trips. On one we drove past the state capital and my dad said "hey look at it!". There was a cracker barrel roadsign on the highway and I screamed out "let's get cracker barrel!"

It’s not just the logo, they’re remodeling the inside to be more “modern”. The kitschy americana vibe was the only reason people go there.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 hours ago

According to people I know who worked in the kitchen there, the correct reason to go to cracker barrel is actually their biscuits and gravy.
The cheapest way for them to make 'em is from scratch. Everything else is premade bags and mixes, but the biscuits and gravy are made fresh a few times a day.

[–] Nomad_Scry@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea if this actually matters but, as a former printer, the new logo is easier and cheaper to produce. The print plates will be cheaper and the lack of thin lines mean it will be more durable too. The wide open spaces mean that the alignment between the brown and orange doesn't need to be perfect anynore (less waste).

It might be a terrible design for a logo (I don't know, not my area) but it's a good design for printing.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean yeah, but as a consumer I don't want to look at a bunch of bland logos with no detail everywhere I go. It's boring. I don't care how hard they are to print. People have been printing complicated shit for decades. Figure it out. (Not you figure it out, them figure it out).

[–] chellewalker@lemmy.ca 23 points 9 hours ago

This isn't "woke", this is the corporate trend of oversimplifing logos no matter how much people liked the old ones.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 51 points 11 hours ago

Another chapter in "Everything i do not like is woke"

The new design is minimalistic slop, for sure. But why would i give a fuck about a companies logo. Honestly we should not even be reacting to this bait.

Cracker Barrel Remodel - Old vs New

I'm not an American and I've only seen this logo a couple of time but I'll be completely honest - this remodel fucking sucks.

I despise minimalism and these transitions from oldschool cool to these post-modernist corporate garbage. And that's definitely one.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

If they had removed the old timer and the barrel but left the asymmetrical shape behind the text just as it was, then they might have been on to something.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 1 points 27 minutes ago

I really like the geezer with his drum to be frank!

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

what that's why everyone is bitching about it? like THAT?? how is that "going woke"? i guess woke is when you sans-serif.

[–] Catma@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Its woke because they took the cracker off. They are erasing crackers

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I never said it's going woke, don't throw me into that box.

i didn't say you were; i was referring to everyone on twitter claiming it was

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

I mean it still has serifs its just losing the old guy, the barrel, the outline and the flourish on the K

Honestly, I can see why an old guy with his hand in a barrel might be off putting for a restaurant theme

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

I hate it as well, my theory is that it's done for better readability on small screens such as phones.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 5 hours ago

I don't mind it, CB's food ain't great either, though.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 hours ago

weird way to brag about getting a blowjob in the parking lot but whatever i guess

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 44 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (5 children)

I'm confused. The new logo is great, or it's shit, I don't care. But what does it have to do with wokeness? Did the old man sitting by the barrel start sucking dick on the billboard? Has he transitioned? Does the new logo secretly spell out black lives matter in invisible ink? It's just the name in a sort of blob? How is this political? What am I missing here?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 6 minutes ago

They took the orange man off their logo. This is obviously a statement against Trump and therefore woke.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 4 points 7 hours ago

Snowflakes getting their feelings hurt because pictures change

[–] stray@pawb.social 9 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Perhaps he feels the original logo depicted a white cishet male, and thus the new one is erasure.

But what does it have to do with wokeness?

See this handy guide for the way these dipshits think.

Woke doesn't mean anything specific more, it just means "thing I don't like." So when somebody says they want to end wokeness, they mean they want to remove everything they don't personally approve of.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 hours ago

New logo blows. Cracker Barrel food is a quarter step above pig slop.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Conservatives crying buckets of tears over a corporation's new logo is my kink.

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

The heraldry of corporate feudalism is no laughing matter for capitalist serfs.

[–] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 69 points 18 hours ago (14 children)

Wtf does « gave my life to Christ » means in that situation? Did mf get baptized in the parking lot??

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

Maybe it rained a lot and dumpsters were water tight back in his day.

[–] kureta@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 hours ago

Can someone seriously answer this question. I'm losing my mind over here. WTF does it mean?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 28 points 15 hours ago

Swallowed for the lord.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 64 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

i think he gave a life altering blowjob in that parking lot
