While I agree I feel like this kind of thinking has spread too far and now we have so many shitty chains everywhere and so few decent options. Seeing someone have this take from Sweden is very validating bc I feel like so many of my fellow usians around here have such low low standards when it comes to dining out or cuisine in general. And it shows in what’s available around me. In a mid sized fairly popular city, 90 percent of our restaurants are just garbage.
Anyway thanks for coming to my rant talk.

There was this wonderful slice of time around a decade ago where fast food prices had started to rise but local sit-down places hadn’t. If you had the time and around $5-10 extra then it didn’t make sense to get fast food when you could get an actual meal.
Unfortunately inflation has caught up to even the local places now.

There was a slice of time even farther back where you’d eat Taco Bell because you could get an absolute fuckton of food for very little money, even compared to other fast food.
