Yesterday the execs at Cracker Barrel pulled certain Duck Dynasty items form their shelves. It's a rare day when I send a note of protest to companies but I did on this one. And I can proudly say that my one little mail among hundreds of thousands sent a message that freedom of speech is not dead. Cracker Barrel announced today that they messed up via their Facebook page.
“We were flat out wrong." That’s the message Cracker Barrel is sending to enraged customers after the restaurant chain removed Duck Dynasty items from its stores over fears it might offend people. “Our intent was to avoid offending but that’s just what we’ve done,” Cracker Barrel said in a statement posted on its Facebook page. “You told us we made a mistake. And, you weren’t shy about it. You wrote, you called and you took to social media to express your thoughts and feelings.”
