Robbie Starbuck has done a deep-dive investigation into the DEI practices at Cracker Barrel, and reveals that the company has been getting more and more "woke" for years. Here's an excerpt.
Here’s the highlights you need to know:
- Cracker Barrel has funded "all ages" Pride events for many years like Nashville Pride and Third River City Pride.
- Cracker Barrel worked with the far left HRC organization and reportedly sponsored HRC events for 10 years. They even brought an HRC representative to their Tennessee HQ to do a pronoun and transgenderism training. We’ve included photos of this in the video. As a reminder, the HRC supports child sex changes and men in women’s bathrooms. They work to normalize/legalize both things and they work to force transgenderism in the workplace.
- Cracker Barrel worked with a group called Conexión Américas as part of their DEI efforts. This group helps illegal immigrants, providing them lawyers and the executive director opposes President Trump’s deportations.
- Cracker Barrel sponsored the Out & Equal LGBTQ Workplace Advocate Conference and presented a workshop on how Cracker Barrel has made progress supporting LGBTQ+ causes. This group works to push sexual topics and pronouns into the workplace.
. . .To put it mildly, Cracker Barrel has forgotten who their core customers are. It’s time for us to remind them.
They depend on YOU to keep their business afloat so now YOU have to ask yourself: Do you want to fund people or companies that hate your values?
It’s time to remind them who their customers are.

Remember to ALWAYS BE KIND. Many in customer service agree with you. Being rude hurts our cause!
There's more at the link, including a 15-minute video report. Click over there for the full details of how Cracker Barrel has been spending our money on its loony left philosophies.
Cracker Barrel is, of course, entitled to spend its money any way it pleases. I, as a customer, am equally entitled to spend my money where and when I choose. After reading the above reports, I won't be spending it at Cracker Barrel (where a group of friends and I have been regulars for Sunday breakfast for several years).

I left them a comment. I already knew about a lot of this, which is why the store has been on a personal boycott list for quite some time. This is a good chance to hopefully effect some change.
It's funny, to me, that once again there's the news of this horrible company and I could do something to help show my displeasure by boycotting but to be honest, I have never even been in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel. I don't think we had them when I was young and they didn't have them in any parts of Cali I lived in and while I live in the heartland these days I'm content to simply never think about going to a place like that in the first place because there are so many really nice places to eat.
I am always amazed when a company, allegedly in the business of making money, says "let's follow the lead of the mainstream Protestant churches!" Step One: Permanently alienate your existing client base, Step Two: Frantically pursue a group or groups who will NEVER become your clients and then Step Three: Somehow this all works out really well. Good luck with that, Cracker Barrel.
We have a local store, which we never went to because there are plenty of other local diners and small regional chains that serve a decent breakfast without supporting Wokeness.
Shame that 50+ locations in Texas will be going under, but there's other players and jobs in the market.
I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. Virtually every large chain has gotten onto the LGBT/ DEI bandwagon, very few withstood it.
My wife loves it, but we don't go often because the closest one is 200 miles away. I feel their food has gone downhill in recent years - same items, higher cost, lower quality and often smaller portions.
I won't miss them.

Last month I stopped in one for the first time in a couple of years, hadnt noticed anything different other than they didnt have the”uncle hershel” breakfast. Guess I should use that cracker barrel gift card soon.
We don't have any in our area but when traveling they were always a first choice. The food was good and the decor was charming and part of the draw. The rebrand is cold, bland and sterile. Even if they did a 180 back to their roots I wouldn't go there, the shine is gone.
