CB Paddle — 10 Comments

  1. cracker barrel no longer sells them. my husband asked the girl at the counter where they were and she arched her eyebrows and rather snottily replied “we no longer stock them”. i winked at her and i must say i sashayed out. ah well.

  2. Angelbrat, I know exactly how you feel! LOL

    Drunk flowers, a girl who worked at CB commented on this post of Dan’s that she hid them. Maybe that clerk was just trying to help you out? Actually, it may depend on the Cracker Barrel you’re at. Our local one still has plenty of them. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad.

  3. Ours always has plenty. Some enterprising brat has usually hidden the at the back of a display, but there are always serveral in stock.

  4. Angelbrat, I think it’s a brat conspiracy within the Cracker Barrel stores to hide the paddles. 😆

  5. When I bought mine, the salesgirl unabashedly commented “when the ball breaks off, you can paddle people with ’em.” I almost asked for a demo!

  6. I got MC the one on the left for Xmas, and he hasen’t used it yet. He looked at it and decided that it didn’t look very threatening. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a a bad thing…

  7. Okay, I had the biggest d’oh moment last night. After CD laid into me and gave me a very long punishment spanking with the CB paddle and then the belt and after the tears were dried and cream applied, we were talking about it. . . I mentioned to him that I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about with the CB paddle. That’s when CD informed me that he’d been just flicking his wrist. . .now he’s promised to actually start swinging it and nothing I could do would change his mind! Sh*t, me and my BIG mouth! *shakes head at self in disgust!*

  8. You gotta wonder about just about any company making paddle ball toys, when they plan their income for the year, how much they think about Spankos.

    There is definitely a conspiracy. My daughter (24 years old) worked in a CB and was asked by a customer where they were. Daughter being somewhat oblivious as it was her second day didn’t know and asked the head cashier. The head cashier said we hide them under the toy shelf or at the very back of the rack because some people use them to punish their kids. She asked other wait staff and it seemd a very large number had experienced the CB when young. Daughter (aka Munchkin) had never experinced the CB herself (she really was and is a wonderful child) but had been told her mother’s stories of frequent use of the CB by grandma. Which daughter never believed until grandma confirmed.

    Story was told to TD who conveyed it to me with a major chuckle. Check out Bethies discussion board for a very good thread on the CB
