Haven't eaten at McD's in probably 3 years but I recall a double quarter pounder meal being ten bucks. I'm guessing it's a good but more now.

Large unsweet tea for $.99. Probably been 10 years for any food from there though...

yeah, but the battered remnants of the food service workforce will be paid a little more money because of our endless enhanced unemployment strategy.

Most of those places were struggling pre Covid.

Mismanagement and shitty food

Most of those closed down all their south Florida locations years ago. Quiznos has been bankrupt as a franchise for a decade.

Hoolihans? Last one I saw was 25 years ago

I know it's fun to Bash Biden Better... but this list is stupid. Many of these are in no danger of closing. Others have been dying for a decade or longer.

Applebees sucks

Franchising destroyed Carrabba's

Sbarro is tied to malls which have been dying for a while

Hooters is dying due to wokeness

Boston Market has let their food go to crap levels

Papa John's will be fine

Joe's Crab Shack has taken the typical's Landry's crazy debt route and is paying the price

Stupid clickbait is clickbait

Sonic use to be pretty good but like others who went corporate, the food quality has fallen on hard times.

A few of those may, but some of them aren't even close

This, easily. That was a very clicbait-y article.

And most of those restaurants have sucked for years.

Yes, this is only going to affect the city folks. Places like Subway are far from closing down, they have the lowest cost of production and no one is stopping eating sandwiches anytime soon. For those of us, like myself, that's located in a small south Texas town we couldn't care less. I hate it for the jobs that will be lost, but its a by product of the political times and hopefully people will learn from it the next time they vote.

I like Subway but it really is close to closing down or being bought out.

The thing about them is they don't offer enough protection between one subway and the next one. Too close together leads to franchise oversaturation.

They've gotten ridiculous with prices.

Mrs. TigerAxe and I can eat at Red Lobster, Chili's or Copeland's for a little more than we'd spend at Sonic.

The government has a way of destroying anything it touches. The scamdemic has destroyed major areas of the economy, intentionally I might add.


The filth are all traitors to this country and its people.

bk is garbage

Jack in the crack, got cheap with their ingredients and stuff, and their food has suffered.

I loved a ultimate with 2 tacos. I will only get a breakfast jack these days.
