The whole point of fast-food was that it was both quick and cheap. Since it’s no longer cheap already, one would think it is an industry headed for the scrap heap. Yet I notice McDonalds stock is at at or near its five year high, rising steadily all this time. I guess people are willing to pay the price.
Travelers on long road trips with kids pay the price. Lots of sports teams stop the bus there after road games headed home. I don’t know why anyone else would.
