    I used to like KFC. But the level of dgaf skyrocketed at some point and had multiple times where I got raw chicken. They clearly stopped battering on site and we’re just refrying frozen/thawed stuff shipped in.

    I grew up liking Pizza Hut and little Caesar’s, most chain pizza I dislike now. Papa John’s is hit or miss, but didn’t have it growing up as it wasn’t a thing and when it became a thing, cost too much

    Many chains I avoid. Olive Garden for example, but it still gets busy where I live which is weird.

    I do still like carabbas though.

        I honestly think some of these are supply chain changes. But a number of them are down to effort.

        Maybe businesses don’t pay enough to have employees give a fuck. Maybe it’s bad management etc.

        Another example is Steak N Shake. When I was younger it WAS cleaner. Service was better. Food was…better in that it was put together with more care and not just mashed together and slapped on a plate. I stopped going there a LONG time ago.

        On the contrary Mcds seems to be a bit dirtier in some places but their food is so processed and simple, even with the employees hating you as a customer it’s still consistent. And that’s another place I rarely eat but with kids have been there more in the last couple years than I have in the decades prior.
