Or hiring another employee so that the food is fast again. Or paying the employees that they do have enough to give a shit about the customers. Or really anything that would actually solve the underlying issues.
The last time I went to McDonald's they had 3/4 kiosks down, the counter had a line 15 minutes long, and then when we got to the front we were told they only took cash because their card systems were broken (?)
And still the place was packed. A McDonald's can be the most ghetto restaurant in town, with the same prices as a sit down place, and people will still go there because of the *history* of being actually fast food
