Why is Diner culture dying?

I go to a diner for bfast sometimes and its got the whole shebang; super nice waitresses calling everyone "hon" and asking if people want the regular, old men hitting on them and talking with the other patrons loudly etc.

the only thing is, barely anyone there is under 40. Seems all the zoomers and millenials would prefer getting thier brekky from an unfeeling starcucks drive-thru

it's more like technology destroyed the social fabric or society. Community is no more and people are become socially retarded

>> No.12066877

millennials and zoomers don't have time to sit down and eat breakfast. most diners also don't have instagram-worthy dishes or a recognizable brandname that they can brag about.

God I hate it when people I don’t know call me “hon” or “honey” or “sweetie”. Like, fuck man I don’t even use that type of pet names with girlfriends. I know it’s just how they be polite but it feels super creepy to me. Anyway, I think the decline you precieve is probably not as big as it actually is. I’m 25 and I actually do quite like diner food and eating at a diner, there’s just a few things that keep me from eating it often.
>time
I don’t always have time to drive halfway across town and spend 45 minutes to an hour on one meal. I work a lot so my breakfasts and lunches have to be quick.
>money
I’m a wagecuck who struggles to make rent every month and diner meals ain’t cheap. Hitting up a Waffle House or local diner you’re gonna be paying $9-$14 for just one meal when I could spend that money at the grocery store and get 2-3 meals out of it. Or I could go get fast food for $3-$5. Basically a meal at a diner is splurging for my income level, a situation shared by many people my age.
>health concerns
Eating greasy fried carbs and fatty meats all the time is not great for you and I try to include as many vegetables as I can in my diet. Diner food is a seldom treat, not a staple of diet.

No it didn’t, and families don’t have to fit the traditional definition of “nuclear” to be valid, supportive, and loving.

People work so much now they don’t really have time to sit down in the morning to eat at a restaurant for 45 minutes or an hour

I used to go to a diner with my sibling but it was when we were teenagers. All the people who would eat there were either retired or around our age, skipping their morning class. In college I barely have time, it’s just wake up, drive, school, drive home, sleep and repeat, work through the weekends

Think about it and everyone probably has a similar story

I like diners and shit. I may move to Knoxville for work, and I like to imagine finding a nice diner to frequent there.
