Don't like Taco John's. Too salty and also flavorless.
Love Chik-fil-a. Employees look you in the eye and smile!

That's one thing I've never understood about Texas Roadhouse, the extremely loud music. You don't want to go there if you want to sit down and talk with someone while eating. I don't mind some music in the background, but geeez.
How about them singing happy birthday at the top of their lungs every 10 minutes?
I used to like Quiznos when I was in high school, but found myself liking it less. What really got me to stop going there were their torpedo subs. They literally took a single slice of eat, cut it in to triangles, and used that for the sub. Total rib off. I also didn't like that they would measure the meat in front of you while ordering. I also thought they were getting expensive. This was before their reorganization.
Around 2004 every Subway suddenly had the most disgusting smell. I'd already started not liking how their ingredients went downhill, but the smell really drove it into a category of hate and disgust. The smell travels with you too, you smell like that at the office and then when you walk in your house at night it instantly hits you.
I generally don't eat fast food purely for health concerns (it might as well be smoking if it's part of a daily routine), but I'll go to Chic Fil A a few times a year. My coworkers and I were there for lunch not long ago and the manager is treating us like kings filling up our water and lemonades, the special orders are always correct, and the employees are generally happy.
I couldn't care less if they close on Sundays. A lot of my favorite restaurants when I was in Chicago would close on Sunday or Monday, you just have to get used to it. It's actually a refreshing thing to guarantee a scheduled day off in an industry where employees are often walked all over.
Some of you know my politics and I was not happy with what I considered quite a discriminatory stance a few years ago, but they adjusted their position and changed their donation habits to the point where I don't see an issue years later. I look at a company like McDonalds that paid employees below minimum wage by putting their pay on cards and charging outrageous fees to get money out...if I want to be upset by a restaurant's ethics I'd say that's what comes to mind first rather than about the only fast food place where I've ever seen happy employees.
Hickory Park. They shuffle you in like cattle, offer nothing more than cheap garbage in large quantities and the building has zero ambiance.
Culvers. Food just doesn't work for me. Butterburgers are greasy to my taste. And the ice cream? Look, I am a total ice cream junkie, but that "custard" they serve must be 50/50 ice cream and butter. Just like eating a stick of butterfat raw. Yuck.
Used to work with a gal, in her 40s, single, who ate fast food at least twice a day, and usually breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She was a disaster physically. Not just weight, which was too much, but not like Jabba the Hutt or anything off the chart.
But her health... she was sick all. the. time. Colds, flu, sinus infection, stomach problems, headaches, joint pain, back problems. You name it, she had it. She must have called in sick or worked form home 40% of the time.
Cookie Monster said it best, people: "Cookies are a sometimes food". Same for fast food. More than once a week, and you should start planning ahead more. Trust me, 20-somethings.
I chuckle when I see/hear of people refusing to patronize certain establishments because of their "politics." If those folks were consistent, they would likely need to stop patronizing many of their own favorite stores and restaurants, they just don't realize it.
I know that if I refused to do business with any entity I disagreed with politically I'd probably be living in a cabin in the remote woods and writing manifestos, and I'd think many others would be doing the same also.

You shut your mouth!
(But this is the first time of me hearing about them being against farmers and I'm researching it because that's kinda weird)
hope you paid cash. I know people that were impacted by the data security breach in April/May.
Thanks to CFs advice I pay for my burritos like I pay for my houses, with cash.
You fool, you were supposed to make your own burrito and invest the difference.
