Cracker Barrel statement:

Cracker Barrel’s mission is Pleasing People. We operate within the ideals of fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment of all people. These ideals are the core of our corporate culture.

We continue to offer Duck Commander products in our stores.

We removed selected products which we were concerned might offend some of our guests while we evaluate the situation.

We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so.

That’s hardly “People Pleasing”. It’s more like hogwash.

“With all the conservatives types I see at the Cracker Barrels I’ve been to it’s hard to believe they sided with the homos. Well it’s going to cost’em. Not eating there again until they change their tune...”

Only if people know they pulled the items which a lot of people might not ever know.....Hope you are correct...time will tell

[laweeks]

I’ve already removed A&E from my Uverse channel selections, so now I can remove Cracker Barrel from my list of restaurants to visit. Total jackasses.

Duck Commander = business owned by the Robertson family.

Duck Dynasty = merchandising goldmine owned by A&E.

Cracker Barrel is doing the right thing here.

CONFIRMATION -- CRACKER BARREL NUKES PHIL!! I work at Cracker Barrel, and I was the one in charge of removing the stuff last night.... It's just the stuff with Phil on it -- all other Duck Commander items are still there... Just his book, a key chain, a magnet, and the shirts, hats, and cups with his face, or "happy happy happy" on it were removed."

[Sir Napsalot]

OK, nice to know.

Buh bye to CB then.

What's so hard to understand about stores like this siding with militant gays is they are shunning their target market for a paltry 3% of the population.

What happens is the left MASTERFULLY changes the language. Until conservatives understand how to fight this correctly it will continue to get worse, where others opinions are looked upon as something other than an opinion.

Liberals are such immature selfish prix.

[Errant]

If that's the case, the next time I get the urge to eat at the local "Cracker Barrel", I'll just drive another two hours to Monroe for lunch at The Duck Diner instead.

"Willie's duck diner is open for business in West Monroe, and it was standing room only for the grand opening"

Duck Diner opens

[laweeks]

Hope they can survive on that 2 % of the population they are trying to appease.

It's more like 1.5%.

I've removed A&E from my Uverse channel selections, and am now going to stay away from Cracker Barrel.

Will this ever end?

I have not been in a Cracker Barrel in years.
When my two kids were young we went one time. The staf was horribly slow. They would not wait on people.
So there we sat, the manager and a waitress were across the room chit chatting with each other. After 15 minutes I had had it. So I raised my arms above my head, waving them and yelling, “HEY, WE’RE OVER HERE!!”
My kids have never forgot that episode. (I just wanted my coffee)
Nothing like embarrassing your young ones to make an impression...
Ha haa ha

Well there sources online saying that Cracker Barrel pulled anything “Christian” offtheir shelves bot just DD merchandise. Personally I don’t know yet.

[BushCountry]

I myself am glad they don’t sell anything from Communist China. </s>

[FES0844]

Thanks for the link. Sent them an email.

[FerociousRabbit]

Contact Cracker Barrel and tell them what you think.

I just did. This is basically the opportunity Conservatives have been waiting for — we have a cultural issue to push back on that is getting MSM reporting.

Don’t waste the opportunity! Push back!!!!

[Spirit of Liberty]

My understanding is they’re pulling the Duck Dynasty merchandise that has either Phil’s likeness, or the “Happy happy happy”. You can still get items with Uncle Si, for example.

> Duck Commander = business owned by the Robertson family.

Duck Dynasty = merchandising goldmine owned by A&E.

Cracker Barrel is doing the right thing here.

Well they need to clarify it and fast before they have some HUGE losses on every level.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I haven’t been to a Cracker Barrel since the first time I went to one years ago. I can’t boycott them since I don’t go there anyway.

[ExGeeEye]

Well, I was going to bring a pretty large party to Cracker Barrel for Christmas Sunday breakfast.

Looks like we're going to Bob Evans' instead.

[Mister Da]

What we have here is PERSECUTION of Christians for their beliefs. Selective persecution at that, as the Left says nothing about muslim persecution of gays.

[Sirius Lee]

Looks like they learned nothing from Chick-Fil-A.

Talk about not knowing your clientel - the CB I have, up until now, patronized is decidedly normal American, not a fag or metro in sight. Good bye Cracker Barrel.
