This is why the woke right is every bit as idiotic as the woke left, and worse imo because the woke left is mostly kids whereas the woke right is generally much older and should be a little smarter.
You have this 50+ year old southern company who just wants to sell old fat white people comfort food lathered with gravy.
So despite society and corporate America going increasingly progressive for literally decades, they maintained their old fashioned white friendly practices. They have always got their face sued off for years. They have dished out tens of millions for being discriminatory. More millions for screwing their tipped employees and paying them below min wage. These are recent lawsuits after many decades of lawsuits and settlements.
Like while other companies went progressive a long time ago, they maintained the right’s old fashioned love of not promoting anyone who isn’t white within the corporate structure and screwing their employees. The literal cornerstone of the GOP.
After Covid like 20% of their customers never returned. I doubt it’s a grubhub favorite. It’s one of those places you go to clog your arteries and let your fat wife shop in the gift shop before you go home and fall back asleep because you just ate a bunch of biscuits and gravy. Not a place you DoorDash.
They just think, fuck this, we can’t fade tens of millions in lawsuits anymore when our business has already died off so much. The world changed. Our obese customers who didn’t die from COVID are dying off from type 2 diabetes rapidly. Paying off tens of millions every decade isn’t a luxury we can afford anymore.
They don’t change the logo to some woke shit. There aren’t rainbow flags on the building. They just simplify their logo and make small gestures to try to avoid more heat when their business is already dying. Do they get credit for hanging on longer than every other corporation?
Nope.
This is where the dumbest white people alive like desert and split get manipulated by social media into thinking this is an issue to rally around.
They literally rode out the southern GOP core values of racism, screwing workers, and embracing obesity and unhealthy southern fried garbage for longer than anyone else and when they could no longer afford it, they make small concessions only to be boycotted by the same people they catered to far longer than anyone else. Just perfect.
What a truly idiotic country we are.
