I thought Tim Horton line ups were bad. Holy heck how do they even account for this at the city planning level?
Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
That's the neat part: they don't!
(Seriously, my city at least is so understaffed it's like the wild fuckin' west, with business owners doing whatever the Hell they want and betting they won't get caught.)
Been to Chik-Fil-A before, they arent even that great, or at least not especially compelling compared to kfc or popeyes. maybe im missing something though idk.
Deffo not so good I'd wait in a line longer then about four cars for them, and in my neck of the woods they have not caught on to that extent. Three of them by me and the lines are fairly minimal at each. So either amazing staff or folks dgaf about them. I'm leaning towards latter personally.
southerner nostalgia. just another reason north and south cant get along
I was just thinking about this today downstairs in the food court at the bottom of the office building I work in. Hundreds of people come through there for the lunch rush to dozens of fast food restaurants (sushi, buritoes, Thai etc), all in the space of less than 30x30m including seating. I was thinking: there's no way you could do this with a drive through.
I'm curious if they are this popular, or just slow as hell and just make the lines longer to hold more people so they can't leave to get better food
They are very popular and actually have quick service once you finally get through the long line. Most of the ones around where I lived switched to two lanes. They were rated as having g the highest quality service for any fast food chain as well.
I love Dutch Bros but they all look just like this too. Often with cars forming a line in the actual street.

As a Dutchman, what a Bullshit Brand
