After just one day of removing Duck Dynasty products from its shelves, the restaurant food chain Cracker Barrel is adding all Duck Dynasty items back.

TMZ reported that Cracker Barrel executives had all Phil Robertson's merchandise removed from its shelves and this action started a riot.

Duck Dynasty fans bombarded the restaurant chain with emails, phone calls and social media posts after Cracker Barrel pulled all Phil Robertson related products from the store due to its concerns about "equal treatment of all people" and "mutual respect." In other words, the company felt Phil was causing hatred and disgust.

Cracker Barrel now said, "You told us we made a mistake and you weren't shy about it... you flat out told us we were wrong." The company even said sorry: "We apologize for offending you."

On Saturday (Dec. 21), Cracker Barrel felt the Duck Dynasty patriarch had offended the LGBT community in statements made to GQ, and the company took a stand against the homphobic comments by removing products. One day later, Cracker Barrel realized that they had a bigger problem for their business when they noticed that were also offending customers who pay for Cracker Barrel products.

TMZ reported that a Cracker Barrel representative had a change a heart and realized that they should've just made this comment to start with, "We respect all individuals' rights to express their beliefs."

Mstars is sure that if Cracker Barrel would've continued to drop their Duck Dynasty products, some other restaurant would have been glad to step in.

Do you think business would've dropped if Cracker Barrel didn't add Phil Robertson's merchandise back? Or would you still be a customer on a regular basis? Sound off in the comments!
