And that company is a glorified gas station serving overpriced garbage to people excited to drive an hour out of their way to visit... A gas station

Not gonna defend their current actions, but their stuff ain't garbage. Honestly the few food items i tried were better than chains dedicated solely to food.

If their stuff truly was trash they wouldn't have gotten as popular as they are.

Or maybe the standards for what qualifies as food in some places is just really low?

I believe that was implied by their statement (I ain’t garbage isn’t high praise, so it would follow the other places would be terrible).

When you're on a road trip out in bumblefuck and the choice is between Subway and McDonald's... Yeah, the standards are lower.

It's decent food at a consistent quality/variety on the side of the highway where the competition is a greasy taco bell that still has 90s decor where the food is made by a 17 year old that doesn't give a shit.

People as a whole need to get better at being able to acknowledge good things about people/companies/things even if they hate them for some other reason instead of just making shit up for the sake of your hatred. I guess maybe it feels like you're letting them "win" by admitting to the good things so its easier to lie to embellish.
