A Day after Cracker Barrel removed Duck Dynasty products from their shelves, they have now made the decision to put them back amid a barrage of social media outrage, phone calls and the threat of a boycott.
Here is their statement, from today:
Dear Cracker Barrel Customer:
When we made the decision to remove and evaluate certain Duck Dynasty items, we offended many of our loyal customers. Our intent was to avoid offending, but that’s just what we’ve done.
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. You flat out told us we were wrong.
We listened.
Today, we are putting all our Duck Dynasty products back in our stores.
And, we apologize for offending you.
We respect all individuals right to express their beliefs. We certainly did not mean to have anyone think different.
We sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our Cracker Barrel family.
Now technically Duck Dynasty brand is the A&E owned brand but clearly Cracker Barrel saw the light when their political correctness threatened to end their business model.
Political correctness is an anathema to most Americans and it is time that this form of tyranny is ended.
