Ordering food is humiliating enough. Going to the actual place? Forget it. If I ever eat the literal poison that is fast goyslop I want it to be as anonymous and quick as possible.

This is some weird autistic cope. People are still going out to parties and restaurants, dressing nice, and having sex. Just because you're excluded doesn't mean it's not happening.

very myopic view. in my city home food delivery rates are 4x higher now than they were in 2020 and on average over the entire USA food delivery has more than doubled (130%) since 2020 when normally it increases like 5% a year.

every restaurant is understaffed and hospitality service in general is pure shit. bartenders are phoning it in everywhere you go, servers suck, people quit or change wagie jobs with a much lower threshold than before as well. the fact that people don't feel participating in their society anymore isn't just customers, it's the fucking workforce as well.

ergo, fast food dumps can cope better by just offering takeaway and delivery, because nobody wants to be there, in front or behind the counter.

Who the fuck goes to a Taco Bell or McDonald's and eats inside? Their dining rooms are already ghost towns. Even if I'm not using the drive thru and have to walk in to order, I'm not fucking eating food in that filthy building. The only fast food places I ever occasionally eat inside are Steak n Shake and Zaxby's, and even then I wouldn't care if they got rid of it. I prefer eating in the comfort of my home, and I hate having to tip people $4 for refilling my drink once in the whole meal.

You're already at the location, what are you saving by driving home to eat? Or do people drive through and then eat in the cars????? (again, why the fuck)
Going inside is going to be the same amount of time or less if there are any cars in line and you don't have to waste fuel and get to sit in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment designed for eating. a fucking mystery to me why people like this shit

I was working fast food in 2009 and we always put priority on the dining room orders because the space inside near the counter is more limited than the space in the drive-thru so you need to get people their food so they can sit down or return to their cars and make space for more people. On top of that, the drive-thru is a captive audience, once they're in the line they're stuck while inside people can leave any time. If there was ever a moment where we had an item shortage and had to choose who was forced to wait, the dining room person would be served the remaining item and the drive-thru person would always be asked to wait while we made more.

More food places should let people order in advance and have the food ready when they arrive, so they can sit down to eat but not wait 15-20 minutes to go back and forth with servers.

it's anti-social and greedy in every regard. the thing people don't understand is we need karens in the world. we need assholes to yell at employees when the food is cold or the order is fucked up. every time i've ever had taco bell the order was always missing some shit. the only way I order taco bell is by going inside, because every time they forget shit. personally i'm never an asshole to workers but I understand the benefit that karens bring to society.

In-person interaction is too dangerous; they'd rather you socialize over the internet. It's easier to control the narrative when people's "social interaction" consists of scrolling through a feed of bots and government-approved views, and when posting any dissent gets you banned.

yes, this taco bell is right adjacent to the nig zone in minneapolis. one of the ones that got violent multiple times in 2020 (and since). burning buildings, shootings, etc. it's a pretty violent area and having a dining room in a place like that is pure liability. you do not want anyone to linger.

It's because of niggers. Have a dining room, it'll fill with niggers. The law makes you have a public bathroom if you have a dining room. It fills with niggers. If you have a dining room logically you have a counter to order at. Niggers will try to jump over it and/or threaten the employees. When the nigger does threaten the employee and faces any resistance or comeuppance for its behavior, the nigger will sue and the nigger will win, judgement from a nigger judge and nigger jury. All of this liability, from the nigger, can be eliminated by doing this.
