All of our drive thru’s are slower- as is the service inside. I hate that they are closing all of the dining rooms- I guess they don’t have enough employees.
I agree it is very hard to eat healthy at a fast food place. The only benefit is that the caloric info is there. I don’t think a Big Mac is too bad- I think it’s like 520 cal? The fries are the killer- literally no nutritional value to them. |

Here in the Metro Detroit area a lot of the fast food places can't get enough people to work. Some are working limited hours and days. The Tim Horton's near my daughters house is only open 6-2:30 most days because the owner is working by herself and only drive up because of her safety being by herself.. She can't get anyone to work. Every place around here has help wanted signs out. The car wash by my house is advertising $16 an hour. A lot of other places are showing $15 an hour.

I stopped going to all fast food when the Pandy started. Eased back slightly with an occasional trip to Chic filet. The one we have up to when they closed for remodeling had no indoor dining. When approaching the line would go around the building and then some. They had a great system and even at the lunch time rush I think the longest wait was about 10 minutes. I do stop at the closest Mcds on occasion for a breakfast sammich. Even when they look full it goes pretty quick. On the other hand there is one the next town over that is always bad and the food is bad. Havent been to that one in years. I just discovered Starbucks, with my wifes help. Ours is located in the grocery store we use. But At $6 or so I only hit that one about once a month.

At the local drive-ins, every time some youngster pulls out their dumb phone to pay, get prepared for a 5 minute wait. This may be the future, but it certainly is not the present. Often, the attendant finally gives up, and demands a credit/debit card. Then the line moves again.

Saturated at room temp goes solid and think of your arteries lined with that. Better diet combined with exercise (which builds your circulatory system) is a gift to long life. OK, soapbox put away, thanks if you read.

Very true.

The drive up windows here are hit or miss. I gave up on McD, the only thing I liked were the fish sandwiches but not anymore. We have a Jack-in-the-box and an Arby's right across the street from each other and when I do go to each place which ever line is shorter is the one I pick. I've cut fast food down to a couple times a week.

Your right bird- the salads are one of the worst tricks. I saw a girl once try to order a grilled chicken sandwich and they were out so she got the next best thing…. A crispy chicken bacon ranch salad!
I go through a lot of food personally- but I’m 235, relatively lean and lift pretty heavy still. Cardio 3-4x a week. If you aren’t using the calories they add up quick. I can lose 10 lbs just by getting off supplements for two weeks at this point. |

The fact that some people just can't plain place an order is a factor too. "uhhhhh....I want.....uhhh....No change that.....lemme get" Not so much a problem for me anymore as the pandemic really got me off of fast food. Stuff that was stamped out in a factory and delivered via semi truck doesn't have the appeal anymore.
