Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Learned something surprising a couple days ago about the fast food industry

    Every Chick-fil-A in the world is printing cash.

    Around us they have increased to a third drivethru line. It’s insane

    And zero dining in, so way more streamlined

    This I think is the bigger issue

    I much prefer going to a restaurant and eating compared to fast food ... but I can't really sit down easily in a restaurant and have a beer or whatever and watch some sports while I wait for my food, it becomes more tied to would I rather wait the 5-10 minutes to get the fast food by my house or the 30+ minutes to get a meal in a restaurant plus the time to drive to/from?

    It's all about substitution and value ... and current conditions makes fast food look a little better.
    Christ, where do you live?
    North end of Seattle ... so most good restaurants for where I live require me going down to the U-District area or to the other side of I-5.
    then you have to be lumping take out with fast food.

    Used to be the one and only fast food (outside of Dick's) that I enjoyed. I gave it up after the owner declared that white people should wash the feet of black people.

    If you dislike the washing the feet thing, you’re going to hate the turning the other cheek thing

    That’s a 20-30 minute drive for me - not close at all
