I miss mom and pop diners. Where did they all go? We are getting fewer choices, only a couple fast food choices, hardware store choices, grocery store choices, medical care choices, clothing store choices……we have Wal Mart, Target, Costco, Amazon………everything is getting consolidated into a very few options. No more Mom and Pop……..more Control.
I found all of those during Covid and haven’t forgotten how they let me breath and buy.
The nearly immortal corporation has the advantage over actual human owners. Reform of laws governing corporations needs to be a thing.
So good for our country.
Go robot, go broke?
I wonder how much of this is a combination of workers that don't speak English and the hard push for a $15/hr minimum wage.
Workers never get the orders right because they can't understand their customers, and the customer sees no point to paying a premium for bad service. And, the food sucks. Only as a last resort....
I mean half of them are probably high on something too...
Hah! You're funny, you said that they serve food...I think you mean food-like substances.
Within the Bismarck-Mandan ND area, there are 6 McDonalds locations while the following franchises have this number of locations:
Subway: 9
Burger King: 3
Wendy's: 2
Arby's: 3
Hardees: 2
Culvers: 2
Taco Bell: 3
Pizza Hut: 3
Little Ceasars: 3
Everyone else: 1 each.
I should note that most of these chains are on the verge of going out of business, especially Subway, McDonalds, and Burger King.
Maybe with fewer locations they will be able to become a nostalgic destination. Where grandparents take their kids and remember what used to be. Perhaps they can improve the food and serve it fresh and hot. This could turn out OK if they’re willing to give up the megacorp status.
They could have a happy meal toy museum and a play place with those creepy 1970s characters I grew up with.
Who is going to feed their family at McDonald's when it's now up to around 40 bucks. Nope!
Bye bye garbage shit food store.
