Let’s stop buying fast food BS, buy from local restourants, shops etc etc or make the shit yourself at home if you can and bring it with you, sure it may get cold but better than that overpriced burger in your hands now
I used to live 6 hours drive from my parents and drive to theirs after work on Friday for a weekend roughly every month or so.
If there’s somewhere around halfway I can get fed, go to the bathroom, and take a short break which also doesn’t push my midnight arrival time much later, then of course I’m going to do that instead of going out to a full service restaurant, or cooking myself and having to clean up from it, again pushing my arrival later? I’d be shocked if most people wouldn’t agree with this?
Well, that’s a totally different situation than the avarage situation of the avarage joe, also, for a 6 hours drive i would bring stuff from my home tbh, at least, that’s what we do in our 10-12h drive each year (sometimes we do stop at an Autogrill* tho, mostly to pee, sometimes some of us forget that we brought coffe from home and drink one from them, lmao)
*it’s a Italian fast food that is mostly on motorways and airports
For those who are feeding whole families where economies of scale can apply and forty minutes of shopping, thirty minutes of setup, twenty minutes of work, and then ten minutes of cleanup can feed half a dozen mouths at least two meals per day for an entire week or more, it is indeed worth it. But if you are, however, working three jobs and barely have time to sleep let alone cook, and you factor in the time it takes as time you could have been on the clock earning money, and the ridiculous cost of groceries lately, sometimes self-prep is just not cost effective
Go ahead and let yourself grab that Costco rotisserie chicken and eat it straight out of the bag with your hands. There’s still something primally satisfying to it, and no one has the right to take at least THAT away from you. You have symbolically hunted for this bird behind the punch clock. Savor the time it saves you.
Is the key in my message, anyway, it’s better if you buy food from lical restourants or shops, they usually sell bigger quantities for less than fast food
(well… at least where i live and a good chunk of europe, idk how the situation is in the USA and other places tho)

Is there a harris teeter? They do massive sandwiches for cheap and they have a bathroom.
