Fast Food.

This will be a discussion on the greasy substance we all at one point in time seem to ingest, be it out of laziness or hunger.

Fast food has practically found its way in to my life more than 2 times a week now because I'm never home at dinner time and cold, leftover food, just doesn't taste good.

Its very unhealthy I have to say.

Now what made me want to start this thread was I got a burger today and it was horribly made.

If my burger had been a game of tetris, the person making it wouldnt have passed level one.
Am I the only one that cares about how my food is prepared / looks even if it is fast food?
Maybe they shouldn't have 13-14 year olds working the grillz D:<

Anyways Discuss:
- Greasy Fatty foods.
- How often you eat it.
- Do you care about how it looks?
- Are drive throughs taking longer now then they use to?
- Are staff often times too young.

OH MAN I AGREE. I don't care if it's from Wendy's or Cactus Club. My food should be put together in a way that I can at least eat it reasonably cleanly without getting horribly messy.

I like greasy, fatty foods as much as the next person. I am super guilty. Though sometimes the thought of eating it is kind of gross. Depends if I'm in the mood I guess?

As for how often... Not often anymore. I mean, the most I get, if it counts, is a bagel from Tim Horton's about once a week or so. And that's only at school. I haven't driven through a drive through in... a very long time.

Young staff I dunno about. I mean. Kids gotta start somewhere, right? And older people generally don't want to work in fast food (like me). Which is probably why they have to resort to young kids.

I find myself going to Wendy's a lot, considering how I think that it's probably the best fast food you can get. I mean, the burgers taste all nice and fresh and they rarely explode into a horrible burger-catastrophe. Also, it's within walking distance of my work...
I'm sure that if there was a Wendy's within walking distance of my house, I would be 400 pounds.

Muaha... I love fast food. Apologies to my metabolism for the stuff I put it through, but really... I think everything else is too easy for it. XD
For the record, I hate Wendy's. XD Everything from there tastes funny. But KFC, McDonalds, DQ and others... good stuff. Burgers, fries, chicken...
I used to eat out practically never, but since I stopped going home between 10am and 9pm on Sundays, that has changed. Now I generally eat out once a week, although it isn't always fast food - there've been wraps and Timmy's bagels in there.
Do I care how it looks? Well... it's fast food. If my hands get slimed eating it, that's gross, but if it's falling apart because it's overloaded with cheese and mushrooms (mmm, Monty Mushroom burgers) that's fine with me. Some grease is to be expected.
Are drive throughs taking longer now then they use to? Yes. Well, most of them anyways. I blame apathetic employees.
Are staff often times too young. Maybe, but you have to start somewhere. Better these kids are working and doing something productive than out vandalizing things or even just playing video games.

OUCH, Stephanie. OUCH.

You lose awesome points.

That funny taste that Wendy's has is the taste of quality ingredients freshly prepared. Don't worry, though; upper tier quality fast food isn't for everyone.

When I was that young all I did was vandalize and play video games >_<

I got in so much trouble as a child / teen. The adventures never stopped.

You turned out pretty dece.

Or, y'know, the souls of all the poor children they mashed up to put in that nasty mayonnaise they stick on everything.

I dislike most fast food... I think. Wendy's is okay. I like DQ but their burgers make me ill even though they're SO good. And, of course, I heart Timmy's. I hate McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, etc.

I admire a lot of people who work in the fast food industry. The closest I ever came to working at some place like that was scooping ice cream and preparing burgers. I can't handle the fast environment, stinky food, and cranky customers!

Me neither.

*shudder* I could never, ever work fast food. I pity the people who do.

TYLER FAST FOOD UPDATE: While in the car with my brothers, the issue about how I don't like Arby's came up, and Joe said that I don't have a reason to not like it because I've only eaten there once when I was about 7. I claimed to be an open person, so I agreed to have a chicken sandwich thing with bacon, a delicious sandwich in principle. I ate it, and enjoyed it, to my surprise. What I did not enjoy, however, was the feeling that came afterwards. Or, to be more specific, the feeling that came out afterwards in the form of vomit. I now have a non-subjective, purely objective reason to not like Arby's. It makes me throw up.

Ewwwwwwwww.

I <3 Arbys at times.

I had Wendy's today, but the service was slow. :< Also, I got to see a manager yell at an employee for wrapping the burger's wrong. Just right there, in front of all of the customers. Awkward.

Man. Why can't managers wait till customers aren't around?

Went to Wendy's the other day... There were three managers working. They outnumbered the other staff. It was weird.

That's bureaucracy for yah. XD

Lawl. At least their managers do something.

I've decided from now on to substitute my fries for a side salad or chili (when at wendys)
