Why do people still get “fast” food?

I feel like before it was actually cheap and fast. Not necessarily “food”, but at least cheap and fast.


It is neither cheap, nor fast anymore.

I hear more people complain about their experiences more than enjoy them.


Is it really just because it is an addictive drug?

Well this is probably a good time to remind you that Arby's has a BOGO for a half pound beef and cheddar for the next 3 days

It's just old habits I think. They used to be decent places if you needed a cheap meal and didn't feel like cooking or were in a rush.

Now... It's not fast, nor cheap like you said. It's barely even food. All of these fast food places have been hollowed out and gutted into a dystopian nightmare like everything else.

it is still fast

it is still cheap, esp if u use deals

no awkward ipad asking for a tip

drive thru is convenient

app ordering is convenient

ppl complain because it's socially acceptable to complain about fast food

It is idiocracy.

There’s something physically addictive about it, that’s the only explanation I can think of

I haven’t eaten anything close to slops since the kids arrived (barely stomached it before) and I have no desire to

When I was working it's pretty much all I had time for.

Now I'm semi-retired I tend to cook my own food. Fast food is likely cheaper per calorie, but fuck it I like the good stuff.

The real scam is restaurants. It's mostly Sysco trash but comes out at about $20/meal + tip now. I'll go to a diner for eggs benedict (pain in the arse to do at home) but not much else.

I cook on my Kamado Joe grill a lot.

I have McDonald's breakfast every early November at the same store. I used to work there but left in early Nov 2003, so its something of a ritual to go back there to mark the anniversary.

If I go onto an app, order some food for £20 (including delivery and service charge) then wait 40 mins for it to arrive in a lukewarm state, then its hard to class that as 'fast food'.
Cook the man some eggs!

Yeah I only use delivery app to get my mother something on mother's day or her birthday cause she is out of state.

I use to use it when the cost was reasonable but now it's literally double the price, haven't used it for years
