Okay that's an explanation with some logic in it, but like unless they have your order ready when you drive into the parking lot, there's several dishes I could cook as fast as it takes for you to go pick up a brown bag.

Granted time is a luxury I find myself having too much of often so maybe I'm like one of those super rich guys who doesn't understand the cost of a milk carton.

But nah, I don't think I am here to be honest.

If you said "doesn't have the energy to cook" I'd get it but time/energy, eh pretty interchangeable.

It isn't faster but what it is, is more convenient and that I can see.

I gave up fast food a few months ago after relying on it when my weeks got super busy. Now I meal prep and plan ahead, and I'll be honest, while I'm much healthier and more full of energy, fast food absolutely saves time. If you know what you want you just walk in, say what you want, sit for 5 minutes while you work or decompress, get your food and leave. It's like a 30 minute process including eating and cleaning. There is no meal I can make, eat, and clean in that amount of time. If you can, I think you're exceptionally efficient and I would like some pointers lol

Sure. When you've got a stocked fridge and a clean kitchen and a working knowledge of home economics, its can work.

If you said “doesn’t have the energy to cook” I’d get it but time/energy, eh pretty interchangeable.

There's also the simple addictive quality of high salt, high sugar, high fat foods made to order.
