Frankly, I want a good, cheap burger, and if the way to obtaining that is to automate jobs, bring it on.
I remember when if you wanted a cheap burger, you went to Micky D's and if you wanted a bit more quality you could shell out a buck or two more somewhere else like Burger King.
But the field has changed and now with a greater number of Five Guys and In-and-Outs, it seems like everyone wants to jump on the quality end of the value triangle when it comes to pumping out burgers, and you're left with very little variety in pricing.
Give me a place where I can shave a couple bucks off my combo again at the expense of not having some teenager or college student screw up my order and you'll have a customer.
- peterwwillis 11y agoI think you're exaggerating the scope of the changes in the fast food industry. There are very few Five Guys and In-n-Out locations compared to the big fast food chains, whose prices remain very competitive, and whose food remains pretty crappy. Don't worry; you can still buy really cheap, unhealthy food all over the nation.
- andrewmcwatters 11y agoPerhaps it's localized, or I am just exaggerating. But it's not uncommon for a meal at McDonalds in Arizona to be comparable to one at In-n-Out. Other local fast food chains also now mimic the containers or lack thereof of the aforementioned burger joints.
