That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

where I'm waited on
That’s the problem. I’m hungry and on the way home from work. I don’t want to sit anywhere but in front of my TV.
Solution is to prep meals so when you get home, you heat it up and enjoy it even more than some shitty fast food place.
Sometimes I need food fast
It aint fat anymore tho
Because it's fast... Because I can take it home... Because it doesn't feel like I'm trashing something nice when I order it to be delivered...
If you can limit it to just the sandwich you can save some. But otherwise, it's just baked into our society for all the reasons already mentioned. Seems like the choice for a cheap meal is gone however.
This is actually a pretty good idea. And I bet the sandwich is the least worst part of the meal as far as nutrition and satiation.
I hate that my immediate next thought is, "I should get TWO sandwiches!"
I genuinely have no clue. I only ever have it once in a blue moon if I stop during a road trip and don't have another option. I wish I had money to open a fast food place with because holy shit, how can you even fail, given what is successful???
It's actually more expensive than other options, truly awful service, usually much slower than it was in the past (I've literally never gotten my food in a McDonalds in less than 30 minutes in the last 10 years because they prioritize drive through and online orders), it tastes like shit and makes me feel like shit after I eat it.
Stop ordering the fries and a drink. Shit's bad enough already. Dinner's $5 and I bring a drink with me.
Consumerism is killing us and corporations will not self-correct until you hit them on the nose with a curled up newspaper.
Sometimes I want cheap, fast and delicious.
Not always, but sometimes.
I'm not sure where this cafe you can get waited on is selling a hamburger, fries, and a coke, with tax and tip, coming out less than $20, but if it's edible, definitely, I'd eat there if I had the choice. The difference between the cheapest sit down restaurant and fast food is almost down to nothing, but fast food is still the cheapest thing you're going to find, and the fast food companies know this, which is why they're comfortable raising the prices. They're attitude is if you don't want to pay our prices, eat at home, but we know you're not going to do that.
I regularly go to "La Mañica" in Albacete, where you can get the baturro with a drink and coffee for less than 10€. That bocadillo is bigger than my arm.
I don't want to be waited on. I don't want to have to wonder when or if someone might refill my drink. I don't want to have to ask for extra napkins. I don't want to be put on the spot deciding what sides I want. I don't want to have to ask what salad dressings there are.
I want to interact with other people as little as possible. McDonald's might be basic, but give me a kiosk to order from every time.
What I do want is to know exactly what I'm getting. Fast food has continuity of product down to a science.
My boyfriend absolutely loves the taste, I really don't know what they put in fast food to make to taste fast food but he craves it so much. Im thinking it might be msg
I got Subway yesterday.
It cost less than $8, took like 10 minutes, i drove 5 minutes to get there, and I didn't have to clean anything.
I don't really. It's a treat sometimes that's it.
If you're not using the McDonalds app to get cheaper and sometimes free food, you're doing it wrong.
I can go to a cafe where I’m waited on and served decent food for $20.
How much do you tip on you cafe meal on top of that $20?
