Forced him to go to Cracker Barrel instead of Waffle House on a road trip, and he’s being pissy about it. Will he wind up liking it in the end.

Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if my son expresses that he likes Cracker Barrel, either through direct statement or clear behavioral indicators (e.g., willingness to return, positive comments about food/experience). It resolves NO if he continues to express dislike or indifference after the visit, or if he explicitly states he prefers Waffle House. Resolution is based on my assessment of his genuine preference, not forced politeness.

Background

Cracker Barrel is a casual dining chain known for comfort food, country-style décor, and a general store. Waffle House specializes in breakfast items and late-night dining. The difference in dining experience and menu offerings may influence his perception, particularly if he had specific expectations about what Waffle House would offer.

Considerations

Initial resistance to a forced change in plans doesn't necessarily predict final preference—many people's opinions shift after actually experiencing something. His willingness to give it a fair chance during the visit will likely be a key factor in whether genuine preference develops.
