What is the point of fast food anymore

Whoops. Yeah it has egg too: from their website: “Grilled sausage, American cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, a fresh-cracked free range egg, (deep breath) more cheese and more bacon all covered in our signature cheese sauce”

Looking at you five guys.

Story time. We t to five guys, go up to the country asked for a burger combo. Person behind counter says they don't have combos so I have to say out loud: lemme get a burger fries and a coke.

Like I get it but a combo is a burger fries and a coke.

A while ago, I was charging at a highway stop, so I decided to quickly get something to drink at McDonald's. I just asked ordered a drink, nothing more. One lady started preparing the drink and put it somewhere behind the counter. I was right there, but she didn't hand it to me. I asked if she could give it, as it was the only thing I had ordered. She mentioned she was not allowed to hand over the order to customers, and she was waiting for someone else who was allowed to. It took roughly 10 minutes before I had my drink, it was very frustrating, especially for a "fast" food chain.

Yeah so like I said, soup.

In the west this was first invented by Baron von Suppenstein, who first put proteins and starches into bowls of warm water. Truly a revolutionary. Sadly he died of dysentery at an early age.

Hmm I see. Interesting.

Aren't combos usually discounted over everything getting billed individually? I would understand that as useful information that I'm not saving anything and might as well deviate if I like.

I don’t usually eat fast food, but one night I was starving, and there happened to be a drive-thru right next to me. I saw only two cars ahead in line and thought it would be quick. I pulled in and waited. Fifteen minutes passed. Then nearly twenty. By that point, a long line had formed behind me, trapping my car.

At the thirty-minute mark, I started asking the cars around me if they could maneuver to let me out. After almost forty minutes, I finally managed to escape.

Frustrated and still hungry, I drove a little further to a local gyro joint. I walked inside, placed my order, and within five minutes, I was enjoying a fresh, delicious lamb platter.

If this had been an isolated incident, I wouldn’t have thought much of it. But the reality is, experiences like this are all too common. Fast food isn’t fast, and to make matters worse, it’s often not even cheap anymore. Unless you’re scraping the bottom of the so-called “value menu”—which has become scarce and filled with low-quality options—you’re likely paying the same, if not more, than you would at a local spot.

When you stack up the cost, the wait, and the disappointing quality, it’s hard to justify why anyone bothers with fast food at all.

Yeah. I could see someone ordering a combo and then complain when instead of a combo they have to pay for burger, fries and drink. It's stupid that 5 guys doesn't have a combo option but the person behind the counter did what they're supposed to do, take the order and make sure the person ordering also understands what they're ordering.

How can a chicken be homophobic that didn't even make sense, chickens don't have feelings

Yeeeess! Gyro is my go to "fast food" too! My favorite gyro place loads plates up enough that I can get a large lamb plate for $15 and split it into two meals. I order on my way there, and it's always ready within 10 minutes of ordering, without fail.

Same... And the food is so goddamn good.

It's a real bummer that half of Americans seem to want to get rid of all of the fucking people willing to make all of these delicious varieties of food. What a boring fucking place that would be.

[email protected]

but you won’t feel as satisfied after eating it.

Talk about an understatement... I cannot recall a time where I ate fast food and did not regret it almost immediately.

[email protected]

Yeah, it's gone downhill over the past couple of years as well, likely in an effort to eek out a little more profit.

Bruh, the Chick-Fil-A, anti-LGBTQ+ stuff started like 15 years ago...

The Tacos Bell near me are pretty decent... You just have to put it in its own, separate genre of food. I don't eat at Taco Bell when I'm in the mood for Mexican food. I eat at Taco Bell when I'm in the mood for Taco Bell.

And all you have to do is give the corporation complete access to your personal cell phone!

Yeah the rise in pizza prices has been disappointing in my area. Unless you're getting just a plain pie, you're gonna spend at least $20 for like a medium pizza.

There are so many goddamn places around here too, that there has to be like a pizza cartel or something, setting the price lol...

Right!? They have no idea what culture is, or what they're missing out on.
