7. If the MAGAts were going to get mad over something about the logo...

you'd think it would be the association between "Cracker" and the white man sitting next to the barrel. Cracker was a derogatory name for white Southern men who were racist. Maybe the new CEO was thinking more about attracting people who aren't MAGAts. They aren't especially known for leaving generous tips.

As an aside, I have a story about something relevant to this. One Thanksgiving I was invited to a house where there was a maga guy who spent about ten minutes telling a story about how he went to a Cracker Barrel and how he ordered a diet Coke but the teenaged waitress brought him a regular Coke and he knew it was a regular Coke and not a diet Coke because he could tell since he was supposedly the expert on discerning a diet Coke from a Coke. He told everyone there about how he chastised her profusely for getting it wrong and not only that but "I left her a dime for a tip." I'm serious when I tell you this story went on (in a very loud voice of course) for ten minutes and at the end he just looked so proud of himself.
