Today I went to burger king for the first time in years. It was even worse than I remembered it. (had the vegetarian option, don’t know if it’s as bad with the meat burgers) Additionally it’s fucking expensive and not as quick as it used to be. So my question is why do some people go there regulary?
I eat it on occasion. I actually really like the taste of Burger King burgers, but I have internalized the fact that the burger I like is 1800 calories by itself, with another 400-500 for the fries, and for that reason, I don’t eat it often. I also have to take into account that, yes, it’s expensive stuff now.
My parents raised me on fast food so I probably enjoy it more than most due to the aspect of being conditioned to it.
We have multiple Burger Kings, and one of them is actually as good as I remember from being a kid. It is also the one with a high proportion of middle age workers who have worked there for years.
There is an overall trend of fast food declining in quality for sure, and my guess is that most people haven’t eaten at one of the few remaining places that still do a decent job with stocking and staffing.
