What if you linked the comments so people could upvote them and not just your screenshot?

Not sure that is always the case in Europe.

waiting for food isn't longer than eating eat.

I thought america stands for fast food.

What about Buffalo Wild Wings?

Technical term is "QSR", or quick service restaurant. Distinction mostly based on speed of service goals.

When you see something on the menu you don't recognize:
parano1dandro1d
Pulled that exact face when I read this
JiggleThouPuff0730
Same.
Quki
Also when reading the menu at fast food restaurant.
jadack
Does not apply if you are tall enough.
MerToo
heh, I just realised that on the rare occasions I'm in a fast food franchise I am simultaneously looking up *and* down on the menu...
MisterD90
Tasting like like garbage
Cheesecakecrush
Went to a Fazolis, I picked up my wife and I's plates and silverware and brought them to the trash can and got told they take care of it now
vikingvampireangel
If it has a drive through.

Diner food is a whole different breed.
Kaplar
Diner food is heart cloggingly delicious.

Damn I remember seeing this comment in real time and now it’s on the front page. Life is beautiful.

Heyyy I lived this. My upvote is in there.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Great definition. Now, "junk food" is a lot harder to define since even high-class restaurants use way too much sugar, salt & MSG. Their ...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
menus aren't any healthier or less addictive than the garbage they serve at fast food temples. If you want to eat healthy, you gotta cook.
CyclopticColleague
Full table service vs. counter service?
yegwebdev
Applicable in drive thru too
sudevilmonk
Fast Food = Fast Poop!
CausticCake
The runs are actually quite slow; "are you done emptying your innards into the bowl yet?" kind of experience

Imadethisaccounttopost
There are a few diners which you look up at.
Dechelonidaemobilis
Do you guys have this thing called "lunch menu"s? That's often written on the wall even in good restaurants.
thropian
I prefer "Paying before you eat, rather than after."
dmil103
Nah, that doesn't work either.
MyDixieWrekt
Having a waiter vs not?
WhoScalesTheScale
In Australia almost all places are like that. Except fancier restaurants.
gorgeousninja
I prefer countries that pay their service staff a decent enough wage so tipping isn’t required it’s a bonus.
Incognito39
I feel even that isn't full proof, a cafe I was just at has you pay before you eat and the food is made to order.
superdad32
Many all you can eat buffet restaurant is you pay before aswell. Not all but many.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
Quality may vary, but I’d technically call that fast food as well.
Bigcurly2000
Would that apply to cafes and pubs? In the UK at least, you often pay first in those.
thropian
I'd hardly consider them a restaurant, so yes, pubs/cafes are fast food or a subset.
NotSoSmartAlek
I consider them to be a subset of diner, and pubs and cafes hereabouts are split between pay before and pay after.
curolina
Usually open a tab these days
NotSoSmartAlek
I've actually never been in a place that took a tab. Hm.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
In the US pretty much all bars/pubs have you set up a 1 day tab and pay when you're done unless it's only 1 or 2 drinks or a single meal
Jallenallen
Thank you I was just about to say that
commentisrelevant
Is nandos fast food?
Tristanisawesome
Yes
Srcsqwrn
I just want to chime in about Nandos. All I know is that there's a cheeky nando.
Whatwouldtyronedo
Nandos, home of the Perry Perry chicken, so nice they named it twice?
commentisrelevant
"Peri peri" no?
JustPlaneWrong
Nah he's talking about the limited edition "Perry Perry" chicken they came out with as a make-a-wish. Poor Perry. Won't be long.
mrforbeez
Sizzlers and I think Souplantation you pay first, but they're sit-down restaurants.
PizzaStation
Sizzlers is a sit-down restaurant with fast food quality.
AwwDamn321
Sizzlers is still around?!
mrforbeez
Yup! There's even a few Shakey's Pizzas hanging in there.
FatmanSaul
When the average time between entering the premises and receiving your food is less than 10 minutes.
healthpickup
Also the average time between the food entering and exiting your body.
TheBestRussian
Our local MacDonald’s barely processed your order 10 mins in. You’re lucky if you get your breakfast before sunset.
xmsbeanx
Ours is the same way. Even if I use the app and preorder I'm waiting at least 20 minutes.
Automatvapen
The average waiting time I have at our local McDonald's drive thru is about 12 minutes. Must be a luxury quisine restaurant.
BoozeHound001
I've been in drive thrus that were more than that.
HelpfulCorn
That rules out the McDonald's drive thru earlier today
EveryonesCousin
Every McDonalds here is out, then
ScubaDiver17
Taco Bell takes 15 min easy
WolnyLogin
It's fast the next day in the morning.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Your TB sucks then. Mine's super fast.
Sephority
Panera just did that tho
samtherat6
I dunno, it’s been a few years and I’m still waiting in the drive thru line at White Castle.
jhsuber
There’s a Popeyes in downtown Brooklyn that’s notorious for shitty and slow service. Waited 20min for popcorn shrimp once
AfatCatnamedHiggins
Waited for 3 hours at one in Colorado for them to tell me they're out of spicy chicken. Never yelled at someone in food service until then.
Yourmuffinfuckingsucks
Why in the fuck would you spend three hours at one? Half hour in it's time to go, you got a life to live
AfatCatnamedHiggins
I already paid. They wouldn't refund me either. Fuck Popeyes.
flexje
Exactly this. 3 hours. No offence, that's just dumb. OK, maybe a little offence.
AfatCatnamedHiggins
Nah, I hear you, but I had already paid by then, I asked them to refund me my $20 and the manager had said bo.
Madderrs
So NOT Chik-fil-a then.

ZombieVarwick
Everywhere I've lived (all in the US) 10 minutes is considered a long time. When I worked McDs in high school the goal was to get the
ZombieVarwick
customer their food with in 2 minutes (on average) of finishing order.
Vinnyvinny
I have yet go go to a fast food and not wait more than 10 minutes between getting in the line,paying and getting out of there with my food.
ThatShiftyMonkey
Taco Bell near me is amazing. Other than few certain rush times, I can usually place my order, pull forward, pay, and handed food in <1 min
ThatShiftyMonkey
First few times it happened I was baffled. Barely had to stop my car. And the orders're actually correct. They must rub a well oiled machine
ThatShiftyMonkey
*run
QuamvisSintSubAqua
You look down at the McD App, and it takes ages to find a big Mac with coke and fries. So it's not fast food.
Kmermaid
But that's just poor app layout. Pretty sure a big Mac combo is #1 on the board at the restaurant.
Kmermaid
It's the second one on the list... Order > burger > Big Mac > Make it a meal. Idk what could be simpler than that.
QuamvisSintSubAqua
Telling the clerk...
Kmermaid
Well duh, but dude was already making it more difficult by using an app
dmil103
Nah, if it has a drive through it's fast food.
Kmermaid
Some smaller chains don't have drive thru's. Five guys burgers doesn't and it's definitely fast food
dmil103
I don't think it's fast food. It doesn't have a drive through.
Kmermaid
Banks have drive thru ATMs, does that make them fast food then? Smh
dmil103
No you fucking moron, it's not a place that serves food. Stupid fuck.
Kmermaid
It's gonna be ok pal. Who hurt you?
diregamer
I wouldn't mind if banks did both tho. Burger and $20 please.
jmulderr
Making Arby's not fast food. Cause people look down on every item on their menu.
buttondick
It really is terrible.
whyisallthecheesegone
Brilliant joke, +1
AFlyingPrius
But their Twitter game is strong.
Kmermaid
Not true, here we have Arby's in mall food courts as well as with drive thru's, have to look up at the menu in both instances
thatfucknguy
Hahaha this is adorable. Was there an audible "whoosh" when the joke flew over your head?
Gherkincensed
Oh sweet summer child...
gingerayyIe
I don't get why people hate on Arby's, it's so underrated and you get a lot for your money

techmonkey13
Hold the fuck up... They have pizza sliders?!?!?
dijital101
Because until about 10-15 years ago their food was absolute garbage. Like it literally tasted like they boiled the meat.
HieronymousFlex
Because their food doesn't taste good, even by fast food standards.
ThisIsAPrivateResidenceMan
used to love arbys growing up, last few times i tried it were bad though. didn't even finish the last beef n cheddar i got.
lyndt
If you get the chance, go to a lion’s choice. Its extremely good beef n chedder
NotSoSmartAlek
Go for something else - the Market Fresh sandwiches were amazing, and their curly fries are awesome. Also, desserts.
NotSoSmartAlek
Haven't been in many years, though. Haven't had a chance.
Richygrindcore
I love me some Arby's I think it's just the new popular thing to hate like Nickelback
Kaplar
Hating nickelback is nothing new
kalikoded
No, the new thing is arby's. It's LIKE the old Nickelback thing.
asm80dfa8sdfj
I want to go to the Arby's in your universe where it's a good value, because Arby's where I'm at is perhaps the worst value of any place.
asm80dfa8sdfj
They have one-per-week value menu items or something IIRC, but any of their enjoyable items are so expensive.
puffcorn237
Depends on where you live. In Massachusetts, the prices are almost double that in minnesota for the same items
asm80dfa8sdfj
Where I'm at, it's $4 for a beef 'n cheddar, which has about 4oz of roast beef.
