fwiw cracker barrel “went woke” in the early 90s when they stopped firing people for being gay. also it’s a terrible restaurant and people who like it have bad taste.

The ones I’ve been too have been aweful. Both food and the service. And the vibe is just not right for my tastes. My mom loves it, which is probably very telling not knowing her.

It's a typical corpo slop minimalist rebrand. Woke didn't do it, capitalism did. Capitalism did what it does, which is fail to address the company's actual problem, which is the food

They did keep up with other, more localized discrimination (see: IL settlement, racial discrimination; MD EEOC proceedings, disability discrimination), but still. Broader points stand.
