The New Fast Foods without Dining Rooms

[1shott]

The Chic Fil A app is so easy to use it should be the only option for the drive thru. Nothing worse than the hang up over a car load of people who cant decide what they want and then place 5 separate orders requiring 5 transactions all in cash while digging for exact change.

OK maybe thats a exaggeration but you get the idea.

Get the app, decide what you want before you get in line, Mobile order for so-so and move along.

Yep. NOBODY but us Boomers (and maybe a few Millennials ) cook anything at home any longer. And we wonder why all our kids and grandkids are sick and unhealthy ... (Not anyone in particular -- just generally speaking about society. In general. In case you missed that part, just generally.

Hell the Boomers I know keep McDonalds in business. Us GenX folks will carry the torch though!

People need to try to support local if they are gonna eat out. However, I'll go to Chick Fila and Chipotle in a pinch but generally we try to cook. No MCDs, Taco Bell, or any other chains though.

I don't think many folks sit down and eat @ McDonalds.... or even Taco Bell.

I disagree- many days I have to drive around and get photos for my work, Mac is an easy place to get relief- anywhere around noon the dining room has a lot of indoor eaters- morning are full off coffee drinkers shooting the bull- evenings have a lot of kids. May not be as packed as they once were, but still there.

My problem with all these apps- you get a text all the time to go eat there- Casey's came to the area and had some cheap gas prices for a while. Everyday about 11 here comes a pizza deal for lunch- if you have a dozen apps- is there a dozen text. Sorry but I'm not going to deal with all that. If I know I'm going be out and about at lunch- I just through some bologna- cheese- pickles and olives and crackers in a lunch cooler with a couple bottles of water and call it my favorite lunch.

I don't think I've seen a significant amount of kids in a MCDs since they pulled the playgrounds years ago.

I stopped at a taco truck yesterday in Mexicanville. Two mulitas, some veggies on the side- 8.50 including tax and I could barely finish it.

A hundred times better than “fast food” and a better value to boot.

I suspect a lot of OSA members are so old, "kids" includes anyone up to age 29.
And they need to Get off my Lawn.

I hear ya, but the way things are moving tells me how the chains view it too.

I certainly do not disagree with you there. There are "men of a certain age" who are at McD's 3 times a day (more if they want a "snack") like clockwork. Bleech. And then they wonder why they feel like **** all the time.
