Why do third worlders mistake a truck stop or a gas station for a town? What's wrong with having options when you're a truck driver?

I like Wendy's.

I seriously dont know. For a country that loves to idolized cowboys and soldiers. We seem to consider freedom letting huge companies fuck us up the ass and cover every inch of america with parking lots and fast food.

Eisenhower sold this country out to automobile companies, creating our shitty car culture.

There's a large system of highways and freeways designed to facilitate travel and transfer goods across a country the size of Europe. Quick service restaurants are often located together along main thoroughfares for the convenience of busy travellers.

>>16740801
>Why are there high concentrations of fast food restaurants near highway exits for people who are traveling to stop by on their way to wherever they're going?
Gee, I don't fucking know, OP.

OH MY GOD IS THAT A ROADSIGN IM GOING INSANEEEE

this is actually in the town of Elizabeh, WV that has a population of less than 1000

We have these rest stops in Canada, too. It's partly caused by the geographical layout and long stretches of nothing but roads and wilderness. Big brand name companies can afford to truck out their products everywhere, so they're the most common. You can usually find local fare just off the main roads or closer to the hotels/motels.

A lot of people don't seem to get just how unfathomably big countries are over here.

>let big companies advertise sugar and salt loaded food/drink on children's TV networks all day long
>wonder why the average American has the palate of an 11 year old

If you wanted to bullshit, you should have at least chosen a town that actually had a McDonalds location.

It's South Limestone St. in Springfield, Ohio. You disingenuous cunt.

>>16740906
Oh, and look, it's a fucking rest stop right off the highway complete with hotels and a fucking Greyhound depot. Suck my fat slimy cock.

Because they have no real culture and traditions, american 'culture' is to eat at favorite fast food "restaurant", just look at /ck/, american really don't post or comment on anything but junk food chains, this is why shit food is popular and accepted there

lmao, if you go into streetview you can see the amount of bullshit camera FOV fuckery that went into the OP image. why are faggots like this?

>>16740954
source?

>>16740958
each of those signs is nearly half a block away from each other. just take a look in the google streetview. the OP picture had to have been taken from almost a mile away to give the illusion they're all clustered together.
clever photography, but just more proof that cameras don't capture reality 1 to 1.

>>16740958
This is what it looks like in streetview when the Hardee's sign is the same size as it is in OP's pic.

Every Springfield in every state is the worst place in the state. You cannot prove me wrong.
