They've lost so much goodwill, I wonder if it's too late.

I mean if they modernize the interior of all their places I'm not sure it makes a difference in the long run. But at least in the short term I'm sure this will make a difference. Ultimately they are still being led by the person with the vision of the new logo. Someone who it literally took a kick upside the head to realize the obvious. That's not a good sign.

As a matter of fact my wife and I went there a few weeks ago for breakfast for the first time in probably 10+ years and it was horrible. Who can fuck up a country fried steak like that? The gravy reminded me of the stuff we'd get served on deployment.

I ate there one time on a group trip about 25 years ago, before they got so big. Nothing memorable about it, just seemed like your typical homestyle fare kind of place... not really my deal. Not sure why they got so popular in the first place.

Don't you even judge me while you're eating a Happy Meal.

I'm not judging, I just don't know what it is.

Well don't ask 2233. I think that was another legend of his back in the day.

I’d like to know why they thought it would work. Might’ve been a good idea to do some research on their customer base and see how what they thought of it before wasting all the time and money to implement it

Honestly probably only been there a few times in my life. Went there a few months ago because my wife and her grandmother had gone there recently on a casino trip and they loved it. Anyway, we made a reservation online, showed up at the designated time and they were stupid packed. This was in Springfield Missouri. Like line going out the door packed. And after I checked in like a million other people had, we still waited probably another 45 minutes for a table.I ate there one time on a group trip about 25 years ago, before they got so big. Nothing memorable about it, just seemed like your typical homestyle fare kind of place... not really my deal. Not sure why they got so popular in the first place.
Once we got seated I will say the food came out crazy fast. They were obviously focused on turning and burning tables so the waitress was in a hurry at all times. The cinnamon rolls in a cast iron skillet were pretty good. The food was ok breakfast fare in my opinion. Overall no real complaints but certainly wasn't worth the wait. Couldn't even move in the store portion because it was so packed. I hate crowds like that so I'm in no hurry to go back. But I think places like that feed off the hotels that are close by.

They claim they did but it sounds more like they consulted store managers and not actual customers. Store managers that were not likely to give an honest opinion at all frankly. Any objective outsider could have told them it would be a disaster without a second to think about it.

They had a ridiculous "celebration" of the rebrand in NYC with a bunch of LGBTQ types.
Obviously didn't care one bit about what their customer base thought.

It just comes off as another virtue signal and the right typically abhors that shit.

This is the core issue that people seem to neglect when the focus is on the logo.
