It is good for fast food and, despite being packed, you could join a line of 20 cars and still be on your way in under five minutes. They are incredibly efficient and that helps when people are making decisions, especially with a screaming child in the back.

    More like 10. Compare that to other fast food, and they are legitimately very fast. Last time I went to a McDonalds, it took well over 20 minutes.

    McDonald’s is franchised. We have a dope ass one down the road from me where honestly I can’t remember the last time I waited longer than 5 minutes. Without line maybe 2.

    There’s one across town that’s garbage for wait times. They are owned by different people.

    Frankly, if I knew I had to wait ten minutes for a chicken sandwich I’d just find a local bar & grill and have a cold one with it.

    I'm not from the US and don't like American fast food. How does 2 minute fast food work? They must precook most of the food and just assemble it for the customer. Why do y'all buy that shit? Wouldn't you rather wait 10 minutes for a decent meal cooked fresh to order? Is there no alternative?

    Yes. That's how fast food works.

    Why do y'all buy that shit?

    It's cheap and fast.

    Wouldn't you rather wait 10 minutes for a decent meal cooked fresh to order?

    Buddy, if it's only taking 10 minutes, it ain't "cooked fresh to order".

    Is there no alternative?

    Sure. But people like fast food, for one reason or another. It's like you're assuming that because you don't like it, no one else likes it either, and they only eat it out of necessity. How arrogant of you.

    That's a very long time for Maccas, unless you were ordering for twenty people

    Even when nothing in your order is ready they can get out a standard meal in less than ten minutes, normally

    They are incredibly efficient

    Being efficient for a drive through and being efficient on an absolute scale are entirely different things. In reality, there is no such thing as an efficient drive through once you account for all the externalities.
