>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place

Shitty low IQ and low income parents who use the play area as a substitute for actual parenting

>>16630481
I ate inside a shake shack this weekend. I was hungry, I didn't want to go to an actual sit-down restaurant alone, and it was the most tourist-free place I could find in an otherwise fairly touristy neighborhood
>>16630497
Oh also this, I forgot about the 11 out of wedlock kids I fathered that I was carrying around in my backpack, I let them loose while I ate to terrorize the other patrons, who were apparently miffed at having their michelin-tier meal disrupted but it takes a village!

>>16630481
I'm gay, btw. Not sure if that matters.

>>16630510
Just eat in your car like a normal person

>>16630481
>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?

Homeless people
People without a car
Niggers

>>16630513
I don't have a car, and even if i did, that's disgusting

>>16630481
>who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
me :(

>>16630481
>t. fast food worker

Nah if I'm gonna get fast food I'm going to eat it while its hot

Not all fast food places even have Drive-thrus. Do Americans even have cities?

>>16630481
>Fast food places should remove the dining room and replace it with extra drive thru lanes
mmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnmmmno
how old are you?

>>16630481
I fucking do. Work trucks we drive are either too tall for drive throughs or have trailers. Means I have to eat gas station food when fast food dining isn't open on work trips

I don't have a car plus where do I eat if it is raining?

>>16630481
The dining room is usually disgusting anyway. Trash left on the tables, greasy and dirty, kids everywhere.

I mean if i’m going with some friends late at night its better to eat indoors than in the car and risk spilling shit because its dark

>>16631174
too bad. get a real job wagie, then you can eat with the rest of the humans

>>16630481
>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?

If you're on vacation and driving out somewhere or heading /back home.

or are they thinking of shutting it down because short staffed?

>>16630481
>Fast food places should....
....be burned to the fucking ground.

Quit eating that shit you fat fucks. Make your own damn food and quit drinking sugar water.

>>16630481
Youve never had a group of friends or have gone on a road trip
just because you dont use something doesnt mean it doesn't have its place

Fuckin do it. I don't wanna come back in the office ;_;

>>16630481
This sucks. This delta shit sucks. This shit is over let anyone who wants to die just fucking die let us go back to living please.

>>16630481
I'd only be okay with this if they accepted walk ups. The only time I want fast food is when I'm hammered, and it's very irresponsible for these companies to force me to drive drunk just to get a nasty greasebomb meal. There is literally no reason why I can't walk up to the Taco Bell across the street from me at 2 am and get my tacos, yet I'm forced to drive there.

I ate in a Del Taco on a short trip with my dad in the middle of the month, because he didn't want to eat in his fancy car. I was amazed to see maybe 10-15 people eating inside on a Friday at 2-3 PM.

This “starting to consider” nonsense is an absolute joke.
The major fast food chains have been wanting to find a plausible way to do away with dine-in since the first day of chinkflu shutdowns. Because they quickly realized how much better their profit ratio became.

If I was a franchise owner, I’d be all over the idea. I’d be crazy not to.

Think about it.
>You own “McAnon King’s in the Box n-Out”
>Your burger/fry/drink combo costs $5
>Drive-thru customers pay $5 for said combo. So do dine-in customers. Because that’s how it works.
>Drive-thru customers give you $5 and your window-wagie gives them their combo, with the prescribed number of napkins and sauce packs, and they drive away.
>Done.

>Dine-in customers give you the same $5, and one of your several counter-wagies (because slow lines mean calls to corporate) that you have to pay to serve dine-in customers gives them their combo.
>And then the customer goes to the fountain/condiment area and fills their drink. They also grab 10x the napkins and condiments they actually need, 90% of which will end up in the trash
>And they (and their 4+ kids) refill their drink multiple times, plus an extra topped-off refill “for the road” when they leave
>And you have to pay your wagies to constantly clean up the dining area after these slobs
>And you have to pay your wagies to constantly clean up the the bathrooms these people fuck up
>And you have to pay your wagies to constantly clean up the mess these people leave with spilled shit all over the fountain/condiment area
>Done. Hopefully.

Of course you’d jump at any possible reason to convert to drive-thru-only. It’s not like 30+ years ago when families would go to a place like McAnon King’s in the Box n-Out, dine-in, and actually behave like decent people.

How many variants and waves must we endure. I think we are on the 4th already.

>>16632963
In 5 years, the average fast food restaurant is going to be just 3 wagies locked away in the restaurant, inaccessible to the public, while frantically operating 10 burger making machines to serve 6 drive-tru lanes

>>16630481
old dudes go there and drink coffee for an hour and a half with their buddies

>>16632995
>5 years, the average fast food restaurant is going to be just 3 wagies locked away in the restaurant
Yes. Because that’s what both workers and customers have been pushing for. Higher pay. More efficiency.
So the wagies will be entry-level specialized tech workers who manage/maintain the burgertron9000.
Anyone who works in a large office will understand the comparison of “that kinda slow guy who was certified as a tech by Xerox and basically reports to the machines themselves because they automatically ping him when there’s a malfunction or they need their supplies replenished, and we give him a decent salary (compared to what he could otherwise earn with his non-existent qualifications) because it’s cheaper than having to pay 3rd party service techs on an as-needed basis ”.
That will be the fast-food worker of the future.

Damn how are all the obese rascal-bound amerifat subhuman retards (most of them) going to survive

Yeah who walks to a restaurant and eats there
What a stupid fucking thread

>>16630481
The real reason for this is because of being short staffed and the cost it takes to keep indoor dining open. They're just using delta as an excuse.

>>16630497
when I run low on hot sauce I swing by taco bell and take a few handfuls

>>16633644
lots of poors do

>>16631346
>transporting goods isnt a real job
Yup, Im talking to a clueless zoomer

>>16630481
>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
There's a gang of old guys who meet at McDonalds every morning except Sunday. They sit in the back and drink coffee and always get weirdly quiet when you pass them on the way to the john.
The unspoken-yet-acknowledged town fact is that they are the secret elders who run the town.
I find it odd they meet at McDonalds instead of the local diner.

>>16631346
You always this much of a cunt?

>>16633751
same here. they were ww2 vets. now they're korea and vietnam vets

>>16630547
None of these people can afford McDonald's anymore, though

>>16630481
>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
Decent human beings who don't eat inside of their cars like vlogging savages.

>>16631174
They could just get rid of the tables and retain the counters where you can order the food. You would have to eat in your vehicle though, which may be less preferable than eating inside at a table.

>>16633751
What are they discussing?

>>16633751
What does ale8 have to do with that?

These people are Americans who have lost all social ties.

>who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
the homeless, elderly, and poor who can't afford air conditioning, heating and/or wifi; people traveling who don't want to eat in their cars; children.

The McDonald's nearest to where I live never officially re-opened their "dining room". It sorta sucks because I can't order food to pick-up indoors, and I'm a useless shit that can't drive. Also fuck them for getting rid of all day breakfast. Midnight hashbrowns were a highlight of my social life many years ago

>>16633644
This has nothing to do with the post you replied to, nor the overall topic at hand.

>>16634776
He can't run in to steal hot sauce packets if they close the dining rooms, dummy.

>>16631877
>nnnNNNNOOO I NEED TO GO TO THE MOOOOVIES AND MY FAVORITE BAR CAN *NOT* CLOSE DOWN AGAIN!!
Fucking normalfaggots make me sick. We need another round of lockdowns to renew my unemployment bux and piss them off again.

>>16634473
I don't disagree with this, I often eat while on the road anyway.
But I need the option to order and pickup inside

>>16634808
If they can’t keep the indoor counters, maybe they can have windows that you can walk up to, like drive thrus without the cars.

The fuck would I drive up to some guys window instead of walking into the restaurant? Do I want to eat under a tree? In my fucking car wtf? No. You eat inside because it's hot and warm when you get the food fresh, comfortable seat and table and it's climate controlled.

I haven't used the drive-through since the 90s when I first got a car and I thought it was cool. Ive been with lazy asses in their cars when they used the drive through though.

Also, how the fuck do you have time to look at the menu when you drive up? They need two signs. If you go inside, you can just stand aside and say go ahead.

>>16635932
That's why you figure out what you want beforehand

>>16632995
good, fuck wagies

>>16630497
>low income and etting at fast food
fast food is expensive af, anon

>>16636086
Poor people remain poor because they're stupid. They'll literally say that fast food is cheaper than eating healthy because they don't understand the difference between paying $10 for a single meal and paying $100 for a whole week of meals. They just see $10 as cheaper than $100 and declare that grocery stores are too expensive and they can "only afford" fast food.

>>16635988
Then put up a second sign outside for drive through people dumbass.

>>16630481
You have friends and family that you spend time irl right?

>>16636144
I always look up the menu on the interwebs beforehand if I haven't been there before. I almost always know what I want when I roll up

>>16631181
The rain

>>16630481
>Construction mexicans
>Teenagers
>Parents with young kids
>Random people
honestly most of the fatties do drive thru out of shame

No where will fat, retarded ghetto and midwestern trash go for a night out of town with their 5 howling brats?

...Is this an omen of lockdown 2 this winter?

Now where will fat, retarded ghetto and midwestern trash go for a night out on the town with their 5 howling brats?

>>16636233
You mean laziness. If fat people felt shame they wouldn’t be fat

>>16636247
Pizza Hut still delivers

>>16636202
The fuck would I go on the internet to fumble through a shit menu which probably doesn't even have prices instead of just reading the menu when I get there? Fucking retarded dude...

>>16636242
There was never a lockdown where I live. Lol how can you just stop living lol... no one would do that.

>>16636269
I would do it because I'm terrified of interactions that I have not prepared for.

>>16630481
>who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
people with little kids, the elderly, and the homeless.

>>16631174
could you get "curbside pickup"?

>>16630481
>Seriously, who the fuck goes inside to eat at a fast food place?
I actually did the last weeks following covid shutdowns. I got nowhere to be man, I don't want to eat in my car like a disgusting fatass.

>>16630481
I did it all the time. It's pretty comfy. They don't mind you taking your time as long as you're not a drug addict.

>>16630481
me when i'm on a long trip and want to get out of my car

>>16631346
he's a truckie anon
cunt's on $200k/year at least
if anything you're the pathetic wagie while he gets paid bank to listen to podcasts and gets to be away from the wife/kids almost all of the time.

>>16632963
>And they (and their 4+ kids) refill their drink multiple times, plus an extra topped-off refill “for the road” when they leave
lol you havent gotten fast food in like 20 years I can tell.
Subway is the only fast food place left that still lets you refill your own drinks.
McDonalds and all the rest you pay for them individually and the staff fill them for you.

>>16632979
we're only on the 2nd lockdown after we detected 1 case of Delta.
and after 3 weeks we've almost eradicated Delta as well.
Your shitty country just needs to git gud.

>>16633751
>I find it odd they meet at McDonalds instead of the local diner.
Coffee from the McCafe is actually pretty fucking good for how cheap it is.
McCafe is easily 80% of the reason the entire franchise is still in business. The other 20% are crackheads and drunk people at 2am getting triple cheeseburgers.

>>16630481
That honestly makes a little sad, I hope they’ll be able to get it back to normal soon. I remember going as a kid and it was fun, to know a whole generation would be denied that experience is sad.

>>16637363
In my area, most fast food restaurants have the beverage dispensers in an open area. I don’t think they care about people refilling. But maybe I live in a nicer area than most.

>>16637363
Where I live Chick-fil-A is the only fast food restaurant where you have to ask for refills from behind the counter, and there are zero fast food places where refills cost money. What Euro shithole do you live in that charges for refills and gatekeeps them all like that?

>>16637367
>oh noooooo! one case! lock everything down!

>>16630513
fat fuck

>muh delta boogieman
how many scams will people endure before they realize they’re being played?

>>16633751
I agree to the mysterious air about the elder gentlemen of mccdonalds. I think some of them are actually extremely wealthy, moreso than people you might see at high class restaurants around town. I also think Mccdonalds is a very unsuspecting place for them to talk serious business, although perhaps in code.

>>16636100
>100/7 < 10
>THEY'RE the stupid ones
I'm laffin

>>16638582
I said a week's worth of meals. You only eat one meal each day? Fucking retard, most people eat 3 meals per day, and yes 100 divided by 21 is less than 10.

>>16638582
how many meals do you eat a day tard

>>16638622
One big one per week.

>>16637363
you live in a melanated area

>>16638633
based

>>16638233
probably a black area where they need to stop people from filling empty milk jugs with soda wthout paying for anything

>>16635988
>the menus are now those horrible lcd screens that change every 5 seconds so you can't read anything
im lovin it

>>16630481
You know there are cities that have fast food joints with no drive-thru, right? Dumb flyover

>>16632963
fountain drink refills cost next to nothing, dipshit

>>16636086
Nah they feast on the value menu and not the luxury/ expensive burgers.

>>16638779
>and not the luxury/ expensive burgers.
is the american fast food version of the luxury soups thing

>>16630481
fast food places are a good place to collect yourself at 11pm.
I wouldn't be opposed to making a walking drive thru type thing

What if corona doesn’t exist and it’s just because the environment sucks?

Cheap electric cars now please

>>16630481
if they close the inside where will the niggers go to fight?

>>16630481
Honestly, it's great for people watching.

>>16631181

Australia, 95% Anglo, try again

>>16638315
yes.
Worth the 3 or 4 weeks vacation (paid by the govt) getting high, smashing beers and enjoying the first days of spring in order for things to go back to normal for the summer (concerts, music festivals etc)

Fast food places should just be removed in general. They bring nothing positive to a community

>>16630481
I'll go inside if I'm on a long trip and I just want a place to sit down and eat that isn't my car.

That being said, I don't so this that often.

>tfw your culture revolves around trannies fast food and tranny superheros

>>16638633
What does you body look like? Are you energetic? I want to try this because I'm just sick of eating and shitting.

>>16631346

Do you know how quarantine and transmission works?

>>16630481
As long as there's a place for foot-traffic plebs to order, I can't see it hurting them at all. You don't want the people "coming in for the AC" anyway.

>>16640511
Don't forget joggers

>>16630547
even when I had no car me and my friends never ate in the fucking building, we would either eat in the parking lot or go to a run down bowling alley or something sinc eit was way less gross
