3 in 4 Americans typically eat fast food at least once a week, but the majority are eating it less due to rising prices, according to a LendingTree survey.
I disagree. Assuming fewer chains and less overall bloat, places where workers can get food on/near on demand seems quite useful. Whether it’s a cafeteria or a stack of food delivered through a window, I don’t see why it’s bad. It’s an economic niche.
it's also not that magical. quick serve cafeterias and soup/smother lines have been around forever. the fast food logistical system is about fordist replaceable labor, product branding/uniformity over great distances, and adding pizazz/fluff to the lowest tier quality ingredients.
there's a Cajun joint by my house where you can get any of like 12 different options (jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee, etc) with rice and toasted garlic bread for a reasonable price and it comes out the window in less than 4 minutes after you pay. it is not high tech lol.
