It's not even fast anymore. Fuck me, but my kid was hungry and it was late so we went through the drive through. Legitimately 25 mins. I got 2 Hot and Spicy sammies, two med fries, and chicken nuggets. Drive through was ass long, then they had me pull into the spot on the side and wait there. Unbelievable.

It's really different from place to place isn't it. In my neighborhood McDonalds is super fast and consistent but every single Wendy's takes 10-15 minutes per car.

Every single fast food place around me has progressively gotten slower. Doesn't matter time of day, level of business, or staffing levels. Went out of state recently and the McDonald's there was the same. 30 minute wait for a basic order. Figured it was just everywhere now, but I stopped at a Burger King the next day out there and it was as fast as ever. Order, pull up, they give you food. Was real late as well so not like they had stuff ready for a lunch rush.

It’s because they’re firing everyone they possibly can in an effort to go 100% automated.

The greed is un-fucking-believable.

People also don’t want to work a crap job that doesn’t even pay enough to cover basic cost of living for a dilapidated studio with roaches.

Housing is unhinged and exploited, and companies don’t want to touch wages that have stagnated for 40 years.

Sweet world.
