Last time I went, waited 20 min for 'fast food', then got hit with a large bill. Yeah, no shit sales are down. Haven't gone back in years.

if i'm paying culver's prices. i'm going next door to culvers. service can be a little slow but they cook to order (not 'assemble and reheat to order') and is always a '10', food is usually too--and unlike mcdonalds' perpetually-'broken' ice cream machine, culver's never runs out of custard, ever.

mcdonalds' only attraction was a low price--and that advantage has been gone for at least a decade.

Culvers is cheaper than McDonalds, and it's actually really good quality food. They have a wide menu, too.

Culvers' burgers are top tier for fast food. So good.

Fake story. You get hit with the large bill before you wait for 20 minutes.

Yep, at least in my area McDonalds is slow, expensive and the foods is consistently crappy. About the fast food place I have a lower opinion of is the local Wendys, because they haven't mastered the skill of "Let the buns from the fridge reach room temperature before serving them to customers." A lukewarm patty on a refrigerator cold bun isn't very appealing.

You can get real food for the same cost now. Just no reason to go there

You got lucky. Last time for me I waited 1hour+. Why? Because I ordered inside the restaurant instead of the drive-through. Apparently they have incentives to keep the drive-through queue small and fast.

And I'm not even in car land (America). It was in Spain. I cannot even imagine what ordering in car land from inside the restaurant will take.

EDIT:

Fast food still exists though, it just doesn't come in the form of the usual American corporations. My local kebab fulfills the order in 5-10 minutes.
