First they came for the barrel and I did not speak out because I’m not a barrel. Then they came for the cracker….

It’s the glasses; they’re always a giveaway, like a septum piercing:

GO WOKE, GO BROKE: The glasses are the giveaway. How low do you think Cracker Barrel’s stock will fall before the board decides to bring back the classic logo and fire its DEI CEO Julie Felss? pic.twitter.com/hoXZuyeCOr
