    @The Hanged Man there's plenty of not gambling to do in Vegas! Hiking in Red Rock, going to the Pinball Museum (playable), the Atomic Testing Museum, not to mention all the shows!

    Hmm... interesting. How much of this stuff is easily accessible to a pedestrian from the belt of garbage-cheap hotels just outside the strip?

    but whenever i step into a chick fil a, the first thing i notice is just how white everyone is, like super white, like they all stepped out of a 1950s family sitcom

    it really is unsettling

    The one in my town is the only restaurant I know of around here without any hispanic employees. It's all white college kids from BYU who are entirely too smug-looking for people selling fast food chicken sandwiches, which suggests to me that many of them have aligned with Chic-fil-A specifically in support of its politics. But that's probably just my personal biases filtering my perception, maybe they're all cheerful because they get all the Waffle Fries they can eat.

    Are you sure that isn't just a regional thing? The Chik Fil A in the mall near me is chock full of black people and it's a pretty mixed race mall.

    Here black people work at Taco Bell.

    White people work at CFA, with a few hispanic/latino folks

    Every where else is predominantly hispanic/latino with a few white folks helping run shit.

    Speaking of weird looking waitstaff, I miss going to strange little truckstops and getting burgers and omelettes and things. And your waitress would come up and still be smoking.

    I should go on a road trip.

    As probably the one person who actually likes the McWrap, I'm not surprised in the least. I always have to pull up to a parking spot after ordering and wait like five minutes to actually get one.

    We talking the full size? Or the snack wrap?

    Cuz the snack wrap absolutely should not take that long to make.

    It kills me that McD's is cutting back on so many things. Like, I get it. But honestly the snack wrap menu was basically "choose type of chicken and pick a sauce."

    The Chick-Fil-A I frequent here outside Houston has about 1/4 black employees, 1/4 hispanic and the rest are white. Among those white employees are three openly, unapologetically gay men.

    Company founders and franchise owners are two completely separate entities, and while it may not be across the board, they're not as exclusionary as you may think, at least at the store level.

    We went to see the Nutcracker a few months ago, as a christmas present for @Sheri

    So many white people. I was actively combing the crowd for minorities, just because after a few minutes of looking, I was seriously concerned that there weren't any

    I don't care how far spread over our area it is, I love me some Portillos. Pretty good beef sandwich and dogs, and nice fries.

    And then if you want your daily calories you just order a chocolate cake shake.

    I had some mighty cravings for portillos the other day

    Sadly the closest one is thirteen hours away

    Got a chicago-style dog at the local hot dog joint which helped, but still. portillos. fast food mecca.

    Full-size. I'm guessing they're just unfamiliar with making them and don't have the stuff ready.

    But yum, when it actually comes.

    EDIT: I should probably point out that I basically have the choice between that, BK, or Taco Bell where I work if I want to eat out. least of the three evils, I guess.

    The full-size ones are great.

    Wendy's in my area have started to demolish their old stores and build newer panera-bread style places. Also the quality (and price) of the food has gone WAY up. It's probably as expensive as five guys now, and maybe also as good (or bad?). Sonic here is pretty decent too.

    For cheap shitty burgers though? I still go to BK and order a double stacker. It's not on the menu anymore but they still make it. It satisfies an itch that I get a couple times a month.

    I dunno, I had In-N-Out while in LA and it was fine but kind of bland. Very lettuce heavy. I had a double and I felt like I could hardly taste the beef.

    As I said before, I wish Five Guys would put some of the 9lbs of salt they use on the fries on the super tasteless and bland thing they call a burger.

    I only tried In N' Out once, when I was in CA last year. I got a burger and well done fries (I was told to get those). It was ok. The burger was nothing special and the fries were average at best. Every place has their bad location though, so I'd be willing to try it again before passing judgement on the place as a whole.

    The local chick fil a hired high schoolers of a certain gpa. I dont know if that was common but it felt like common practice.

    Mugshots is how I learned about and tried the peanut butter burger. I reccomend everyone do it at least once, just make sure it is nothing but bun, burger, and p. Butter.

    I feel like a peanut butter burg is going to end up giving me a trip to allergy town one day.

    Its just weird enough that I'll forget to ask about it/check it and then woohoo vomit city.
