I think they've hit peak outrage or something.

I could kind of understand their annual outrage at Starbucks for not having enough of a Christmas theme on their holiday cups. I mean it was silly but it kind of made sense. Sort of.

Turning on Cracker Barrel for being "woke" because the company is simplifying a logo is so absurd I had to pause and talk about it.
