Think that's toxically masculine enough for their new "woke" approach to reject?

The problem with the Cracker Barrel rebrand wasn't so much that it was "woke" as that it was part of "The Great Blandening" that's been going for the past few years, where everything is being homogenized into a sterile minimalism with a thin veneer of the previous aesthetic, if that.
Many franchised food brands are just as much realtors as they are restaurant management companies... when you look at old Pizza Hut buildings, there's no hiding that it was a Pizza Hut, and that limits its' appeal to new tenants... someone has to reframe the roof. McDonald's too. So bow they have a boxbshape and minimalist interiornrequiring minimal. maintence and productivity lost to cleaning and upkeep. I don't eat goyslop as a rule, not even The Lord's Chicken, and I don't like chain restsurants, myself. Cracker barrel pre-covid was one of my exceptions because my wife was enchanted by the place... but they enshittified the menu after covid, and stwrted sourcing prepackaged ingredients from Cysco and other goyslop sellers- the food sucks now and tastes microwaved because it damn well is.

I thought this more in line with the American Eagle jeans/genes out cry.
LOL
