Can't believe they'd name themselves after a slur π
The name comes from the barrels of soda crackers that could be found for sale in small-town stores across the American South in the early 1900s; people would stand around the barrels chatting and catching up, similar in purpose to contemporary office water coolers.
Issa joke
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don't want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.
I don't want to hear the music outside of December
I don't want to hear the music outside of the week of Xmas. It's so annoying and repetitive.
I only want to hear "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" on loop in every store ever day of the year.
I get this reference and I do not appreciate you making me think of it lol
Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.
With the death weather weβre having right now, seeing Xmas stuff would just make me angrier.
I buy stuff out of season because it saves money. I will be shopping for new summer clothing in two months.
I'll shopping for summer clothing in 2 months because it'll still be hot AF
Costco has Xmas stuff out as well
AND: They're selling flannel shirts and winter gloves! It's going to be 90 F here tomorrow. WTF?
Probably gonna be 60F in January, too.
Yup. It was triple digits here in the southwest and they're selling coats and jackets like we're gonna need them this weekend.
Sounding a little grinchy, OP
As I get older I realize why the Grinch wanted to live alone on a mountain with his dog.
Also, maybe the Grinch wouldn't be so sour if everyone in town wasn't constantly singing songs about what a piece of crap he was!
Christ(mas).
I thought it was bad in the UK when you start seeing Christmas adverts in October.
No! Not Labor Day!
I don't want to hear a goddamn thing about War on Christmas because that shit is winning, taking over and annexing pretty much everything after Summer at this point.
First it was a day, then two days (gotta include the Eve!!) Then the 12 days of Christmas, fucking hell. So on and so on.
And woe to you if you work Retail. Mariah Carey is coming for you.
I'm the kind of person who's making this a reality because I heckin' love Christmas time.
You and my sister. She had her tree up before Halloween (though she did decorate it halloween-y)
Me I'm a bah humbug guy that's got too much PTSD due to years spent in retail. I'm freaking done with it π
There used to be a shop (two shops, actually, operated by the same guy; he now retired) in my home town that was selling Christmas stuff all year. Not other stuff plus some Christmas stuff, but just Christmas stuff.
This August is only half through,
But for some, winterβs soon to ensue
So donβt Grinch on this carol,
βCause we know in the Barrel:
Crackers love their Christmas Scooby-Doo!
Cracker Barrel would like to welcome Grossweiner, party of 6
But what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing!
What kind of Labor Day stuff do they normally put out?
Have you ever been somewhere and seen one of those "Christmas all year around" stores with nothing but Christmas stuff inside? Who shops in those when it isn't near Christmas?
Me...because it's next to impossible t find GOOD quality Christmas stuff during Christmas season. It's either that store, or the mass produced trash from Walmart. I'll take Christmas item shopping in june-august over Walmart crap
I wish Australia had a large enough population to support this kind of nonsense because this is my kind of logic
I do like that jumper though.
Bro, you in a cracker barrel. All that gift shop stuff is just junk Xmas gifts tha g-ma picks up while waiting for her fried ocra.
Mf thought they were in south america πππ
Real shoppers buy their Christmas gifts in January where stuff is cheap
Christmas in July is a thing in a lot of places. This could just be marketing that hasn't been changed over yet.
Effin crackers
I've never willingly entered a cracker barrel.
Only idiotsbwith too much money would buy Grinch and Scooby decor to begin with, and idiots aren't great with calendar stuff.
