    Im sure this has been said many times in the individual videos this compilation is made of:
    Its not that Americans dont want to go out to eat, but many in the sub 40y/o category have grown tired of chains.
    If you're gonna spend $20-25, why not go to your local joint that actually cares about its food.
    We have several great local restaurants here in my city that blow the chainsnout of the water! Their prices are either cheaper or relatively close, but the service and quality is 100 steps above.

      Yep the cost is a big factor, even for those of us at 40+ in age. Plus all the restaurants all look like drab grey or brown squares. My family has started calling them McPrisons.

    I've only had one racist experience in a restaurant and it was a Waffle House. The waitress was incredibly rude and almost refused to serve it. It was so bad a truck drivers ask the waitress why she was being so rude. Even apologized on her behalf. Even told me I should call corporate on her and to not leave her a tip. The fact that I ignored her rudeness and was nicer the ruder she got made her even more mad. Then when the truck driver confronted her she refused to acknowledge me afterwards so I paid, tipped and left. I called the corporate number to complain but never heard back. The location ended up closing a few years later

    We still have Denny's and Outback Steakhouse, and I had a Fuddrucker's until last year when it closed for good. I can't imagine eating a bloomin' onion.... the very idea makes my cholesterol and sugar level goes through the roof!! I doubt there's much I can eat at most chain restaurants; their food isn't exactly diabetic friendly; That's something ALLl chain restaurants need to work on!!🙏🙏🙏
    Our Red Lobster closed too...

      Whats sad is that chain restaurants built on providing high quality food for cheap now are activelly killing us with the subpar food stuffed with all kinds of preservatives and seed oils and charging 10x what they should and expect us to just keep soaking it up. I hope they all fail and shut down.

      Corporations tend to eat themselves and over saturate the market. And people are being more liberal, starting to vote with their wallet; and its unhealthy. These kind of corporations tend to fair well in other poorer conservative societies, cause they do, easier to indoctrinate harder workers and ruin their small business's.. Conservative societies usually don't mind "corporations" to a point, before they take over all their business and mom pop shops. By the time those societies evolve, they'll also take note and take the same route, every society tends to follow examples; even in china they are starting to take note and they are prety conservative..

    As expensive as fast food has gotten and as quality has dropped, some of these "sit down" restaurants have been busy lately. I can sitdown at Tumbleweed and have a nice experience with great food for roughly the same price as a Big Mac meal at McDonalds, and that includes a nice tip for the Wait Staff, just my opinion

    I used to love Cracker Barrel. Since the pandemic it has been awful. The menu was a fraction of what they had before. Many of the items were no longer available.Their mac and cheese, which used to be so good was awful, clearly made on the stove top instead of being baked. Vegetarian options were more or less nonexistent unless you wanted a salad.

    Considering how many Americans have a health condition that requires a healthier diet, I'm amazed that more fast and fast-cadual food restaurants refuse to serve heathier foods!!! If they'd consider the possible profits, I think they'd jump on the idea!!

    • @andystegall7407
      @andystegall7407 Місяць тому

      It's because the cost is prohibitive to serve healthy food. When you own a big chain you are beholden to shareholders and they put the pressure on you to lower operating costs to maximize profits as much as possible, quality and nutrition be damned. While you would be correct in saying there is a demand for it, the cost of doing business discourages restaurants from going that route
