They can blame whatever they want. As long as they suffer financially for their refusal to accept that A is A. I’m surprised they didn’t blame climate change. I bet they spun the narrative wheel in corporate HQ and it landed on Covid.
It just makes for good theater on this trip to the bottom.

I would say another community gets what it voted for.

Another woke Corp trying to straddle the fence. How dare they attempt to blame the Wuhan Flu when we all know it's their tolerance to shoplifting, panhandle, and their management policies to wokeness.
Just admit the truth, close restaurants in those areas where undesirable patrons abuse your services and change your business plan to concentrate on serving law biding patrons and those lawbiding localities. Make it known to all that you will not be providing services in areas devoid of lawful behaviors and stop using the Wuhan Flu as a worn-out excuse. That excuse is getting old and it is souring me.

I'm kind of surprised someone hasn't made them change their name by now. But then again, maybe Cracker is still okay since reverse racism is still accepted. All in all, it was a responsible business.

Yeah, it's all Covid's fault.
Love the chicken fried steak plate at the Cracker Barrel in Bessemer, one of Birmingham's satellite cities.
It is still there. It's not going anywhere either.
