Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 19 hours agoMy theory is it’s “the best” and a consistent default choice in areas that don’t have good fast food chains.
Like, it’s better lunch than McDonald’s.
…But it doesn’t explain why it’s still so popular in my area.

This. The hatred infused into every bite is addictive to most bigots and zealots.

Every Chik-fil-a I have ever been to was exceptionally clean and staffed entirely by white teenagers, typically girls. They also have a simple menu and good advertising. I can’t put my finger on it, but something about “clean” stores staffed by young white girls appeals to Chik-fil-a’s demographics. White southern religious people love Chik-fil-a.

A weird thing I’ve noticed about Freddy’s is that whenever a new store opens (they’ve done a lot of expansion recently in my area) the staff is all white teenagers, mostly girls. And then within a few months it’s entirely staffed by black people. I wonder if they have a roving crew of white people to open new stores with and get the mostly-white locals accustomed to eating there.

That… explains a lot.
I figured that’s a component, but it must be bigger than I realize.
