Apparently she was on Tucker Carlson last night. Hopefully that will put some pressure on the now woke company

Waffle House has been a life saver for me through the years. ATL after a late night Eagles Concert. Across the Street from Flora-Bama at 2 AM. Freezing to death in the ATL at 420 Festival warmed up in Waffle House. Then all those Waffle House bleary eyed nights and mornings while struggling to graduate from UT and driving between Tullahoma and Knoxville...

That's just the problem with jackasses of all types who presume to verbally or physically attack others without provocation. Instead of Karens being reprimanded, if even that, fine them, throw their azzes in jail for assault, slap restraining orders or blacklist them from places, including public areas they sullied. This stuff has got to stop. I cheer the fellow at a Dollar General, where a Karen kept yelling at and trying to hit his wife. I think it had to do with them buying the last iron skillet or something. I didn't even know DG sold those items. Anyway, after repeatedly wardening her off, on;ly to see her continuing to attack, the guy took the pan and hit her squarely in the face with it. That was the end of that. This privileged (or whatever you want to call it) conduct must end. The Waffle House babe, I hope she sues both WH and the ones who created the situation. Where's the link to the GoFundMe for her?

Not counting the untimed OT against Pitt, the actual season only lasted 13 hours (780 minutes). Most people spend more time each year brushing their teeth 😖

Lewis Grizzard, God rest his Southern soul, clearly delineated between nekkid vs naked. “Naked means you have no clothes on. Nekkid means you have no clothes on and you’re up to something!”

If you, like me, are feeling betrayed by an old friend (Waffle House blacklists Waffle House Avenger), hold on as we discover another sell out by another eatery we thought was „one of us“
People are vowing they'll never go back to Cracker Barrel after the chain added vegan sausage to its menus

The usual human stupidity. If CB was forcing people to put the vegan sausages in their mouths, chew it, and swallow it, I'd understand. But they need not order it, let alone eat it. People, today, literally lie in wait, or zealously hunt for something to be offended about. Forrest, your mom was right, stupidity is as stupidity does.

If you want to talk about stupidity, please first answer these two questions. 1) just how large a number of vegans were out there just dying to eat at a Cracker Barrel but couldn’t for want of a vegan offering? 2). If they did go, what in the world would they be able to eat WITH said sausage? I think single food item has some animal products in it such as ham in the greens. Is said sausage craving Vegan Just going to order a plate of impossible sausages and a sweet tea?
This is a prime example of not knowing your customer base. Someone concerned with a Vegan lifestyle wouldn’t be caught dead within a hundred yards of a Cracker Barrel in the first place. The company is catering to a population that literally doesn’t exist. Now THAT is stupidity.

No reason to get all holy and self-righteous about it, OT. Just the same, thank you sir/madam. My wife and I eat vegan sausages, bacon, and other veg-meats from time to time. And sir/madam, having hobnobbed with vegans, I can tell you, like religious groups, they aren't a one food dogma fits all. I eat those previously mentioned sausages and bacon (which we buy at stores) because I prefer to not consume pork products, but I gobble beef, venison, poultry, bison, and other bovine versions of those products right off the bat. Some vegans will eat eggs, some won't, some will eat chicken and no other meat, some won't, and so on. Like the rest of us, they can be hoodwinked by advertising, we're seen as suckers all to be separated from our money.

Now, CB, is a business - SURPRISE!!! As such, they notice a trend (I'll even call it a fade because it pops up every 15-20 years, it seems) toward vegetarianism. It's nothing new. I saw it make headway in the 70s alongside hippie lifestyles. Then again, to a lessened degree in the mid-90s. Here it is again. That's why you're seeing brands like Morning Star, Gardein, Beyond Meat, Tofurky, and a host of other brands showing up in stores. Obviously, the products are appealing to enough buyers, for CB and grocery stores to do what any business will do. What's that? Seek to profit from what's selling. So, while this doesn't fit your constricted view of what and where people should and shouldn't eat, it's irrelevant because it's not your choice, or mouth to stuff, it's theirs. Assuming to dictate what folks can and can't eat, and where, even if you're a kosher hound, isn't just stupid, it's arrogant too. My advice, whether it is welcome or not, is just leave it alone and let CB being what it is, a business. And people who like vegan stuff, leave alone to eat whatever and wherever they want. And you do the same for yourself. Is that so wrong?

But to address your points, by all means eat whatever you want whenever you want. And CB is indeed free to offer up whatever plant based concoction they do desire. But consider that a very large part of any corporate brand‘s appeal to its loyal customer base is its image. I go to Cracker Barrel because it gets me. The traditional menu and the old barn decor speaks to me because it is a reflection of my identity as a „meat and three“ loving redneck, raised on Jimmy Dean Sausage and gravy biscuits. Heck, at one time, they even served buttermilk as a beverage. It is a place I fell like caters to my culture. If they wish to change that, more power to them; but they risk losing what makes them unique in the process. Cracker Barrel IS Cracker Barrel because of the brand image they carefully built over the decades. They tinker with that too much and they become no longer Cracker Barrel. Know your audience is the number one rule of business.

No. Ole No. 7 is the only remedy a true Vol ever needs. Have you considered turmeric tea? If you drink enough, your pee will be orange. :cool:

I like too. But business is business, and people are people. They offended and stay aways will return eventually, cause CB is a food narcotic, and its offended customer are addicted and will return.
