Fast food costs out the wazoo... it’s poorly made by unsupervised low-skilled workers... and the customer service (by those same unsupervised low-skilled workers) ranges from nonexistent to downright surly.
So it’s hard to understand why fewer folks are signing up for that abuse.
Service varies. In ‘n’ Out, Culver’s, Chick-Fil-A all have very good service. Wendy’s, Popeye’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, not so much.
I agree with you which is why our fast food options are Chick-fil-A, In-n-Out, and Costco (hot dogs).
15$ can buy two rottisserie chickens at a grocery store, and a loaf of bread and mayo— covering sandwiches for 2 for a week.
So far, anyway. Check out prices of so called ready-made microwave meals... ridiculous. Apparently no one knows how to cook, which is no surprising.
You’re correct about surly (and dirty looking with no hair nets over their dreadlocks— yuck) service. One noticeable exception recently was a 5.29 double STEAK burger with cheese and small fries, cooked to order at Steak an Shake. Steak and Shake owned by an Iranian American who buys and sells real US steak in their burgers. Not mcdonalds veggie squeeze loaf.
High pric and low quality- let’s see how long it takes for the MBAs at. McKinsey to break this code.
