Most of the fast food places near me also clearly have fans pushing the smell of the food out their window, you can smell it from 20+ feet away. If you've had a long day, you're tired and hungry and suddenly you smell something super tasty and there's a nice, pleasant looking fast food restaurant that can satisfy that itch in a matter of minutes, it's not hard to see how that can be super tempting to a lot of people.
Ironically this would get you permanently banned on reddit.
