Maybe people are just starting to figure out what a rip off fast food really is. When I used to stop at fast food places I would regularly spend $12 or $13 and still feel hungry afterwards.

I found a local restaurant near where I work. I usually get bread, butter, crackers, chicken dumpling soup, a salad, 2 giant walleye fillets (real walleye not Pollock), carrots and broccoli with snow peas, my choice of "potatoe" (in this case spaghetti with meat sauce is my preferred choice), and a desert (usually I choose strawberry shortcake or warm rice pudding with cream), and I get all of that for $10.50.

It takes less time than at a fast food place, no time to wait if I call ahead to take it to go.

The employees at my local aren't jerks.

So at my local restaurant I get 5 times the quality of food and far more of it for much less cost in less time from people who don't aggravate me.

There is just no reason to buy fast food.

I have found that the local eats do a much better job.
