I honestly can't remember the last time I went to a chain restaurant that wasn't McDonald's or Wendy's. With fast food I know I'm getting junk, but the annoying thing with chain restaurants ( and restaurants that value profit over all else) is the food is junk that the employees don't give a shit about because how the hell are you supposed to be passionate about reheating packaged food so there's no point in pretending. I know I'm eating junk when I order in so why put pants on to eat it in public ?

It's just greedy corporations wondering why they can't keep increasing profit by cutting costs. The graph is a parabola god dammit. Then they try being "hip" because old people trying to "get" young people has always been the best business model and it just seems so forced.
