Yeah I saw a video of a worker "showing off" their renovated store and I get why people are pointing out how dumb Cracker Barrell is being. And maybe if the food was super awesome they could survive destroying their brand over it. But I personally didn't find the food to be that awesome.
It sort of reminds me when HBO decided to change their name to Max. Like what idiot thought "We have spent so much time building this brand that has value, let's just throw the brand in the trash and call ourselves MAX." A company like Cracker Barrell should be leaning into the nostalgia of a time that we will never live in again. And instead they went generic modern. It's just a train wreck.

Yeah, without the context included, it’s very odd. This is 3 years old, btw

Right, the key is he said there's no secular argument against it. He's a religious guy, and as he often points out, so many of our norms and morals have a religious background. If you are completely secular and think humans are just collections of cells, you can excuse almost any behavior, as the Left has done for hundreds of years now.
BTW, he was in a horrific accident last year and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Terrible story.

Hate how they all go from kind of colorful and fun to rectangular, gray/brown, and boring.

Everyone started going after that Starbucks look. I believe McDonalds started that shit about 20 years ago.

Yeah but they are all examples of horrific corporate sterilization. I thought we were a melting pot here? Instead the left’s media influence has made everything as bland and inoffensive as possible only to appeal to the lowest common denominator at all times.

McDonalds and Taco Bell bother me the least. Those are two places I have no desire to go inside and eat. If I'm getting their food its for my kids because its convenient.
It's different when talking about a place you'd sit down and eat.

It's a societal thing. The overall trend in the 70s and 80s was a more colorful aesthetic.

Cheap, easy to build.
Ever notice what they are building Dollar Generals out of these days? They are like the tin sheds you struggle to get level in your back yard.
