Isn’t ramen in Japan fast-food? Of the people who dine-in, few people would stay at a McDonalds an hour to “dine”. It’s go in order, eat and get out.
And, like burgers you do have high end joints too.
Also, like burgers ramen isn’t considered “healthy” food. High sodium, high fat, and somewhat low in nutrients. It’s basically fast-food.
- asyx 2mo agoI don’t think an hour at McDonald’s is that crazy either though.
- mc32 2mo agoI’m guessing back in the late sixties to early seventies going to McDonalds could have been a special night out and it could have been a place people stayed an hour. Some people may still linger in a McDonalds for an hour but I’d have think that’d be an exception. They’re loud, crowded and the seats are not entirely made for comfort. It’s not a place that strikes the imagination with, oh, there’s a place we can go eat and relax at.
- asyx 2mo agoThey’re not that bad in Germany. The ramen places are actually more noisy.
- toast0 2mo agoLots of McDonalds locations have signs indicating lingering past 30 minutes is loitering.
