She could have printed out her own cards, leaving out the “Barrel” part, and the rubes still would have stuck around.

Or just reversed the words, making it more accurate (Barrrel of Crackers).

That’s so on brand…
I used to drive a very very bland and blase 2004 white Buick Century. I would joke that if I were ever running from the cops, I could just pull into a Cracker Barrel parking lot and disappear…

Wow. Not even receiving one but , a CHANCE to win one (1). IF you stay to the end and have a raffle ticket. I wonder if they had to pay for the ticket for that chance too. MAGA people wouldn’t care. “Heeers mah money hurrhurr” And of COURSE it’s Cracker Barrel. She had to go out of her way to find the most racist restaurant chain in America. “How about Chick FIL A?” “Nah they only hate gays” … If you didn’t know who MTG was, just the headline to this article sums her up perfectly. MTG? SMH …

It’s so pathetic. For the price of a single 30-second commercial spot on television you could hand a gift card to every member in the audience.

I mean, like come on! Georgia AND “Cracker”? Like, WTF-over?! So what part of Georgia Cracker don’t they understand?
Slang origin: The term originally referred to lazy super-cargo personnel that played cards on the ship’s cracker barrels instead of caring for their appointed cargo (probably slaves). Then the term went ashore. Say a lot, no?

I misread this as rubles and then thought, “Well the gift cards are probably denominated in rubles anyway.”

Looks like Marge needs to raise some money again. Probably to pay for the gift card.

Of course. And just because someone comes from Georgia doesn’t mean they’re a Cracker.
The person you’re addressing is a Georgia resident.

Mind if I ask what a Cracker is/means to you?
I’m thinking I need education, as I’m from the West Coast but who has worked with some from Georgia and surrounding states.
Sometimes info is unreliable.
The “Queen of Canada” handed out sardines and vegetables, that she cut herself.
