Mcdonalds patties cost somewhere between 10-15 cents per patty, so the labor cost of having the grill unused is higher ( ie. the cost to sit idle then start new burgers). This is assuming a rapid throughput store, if the store is dead for an hour, obviously you should stop flipping burgers at max rate.

I'm not understanding you.

Paying someone to cook food and throw it away isn't cheaper than paying someone to lean against a wall. It's just a waste of material costs on top of your wasted labor costs. The grill itself maintains the same temperature whether it's actively cooking something or not. You don't wait for someone to come in and then go turn the grill on. How is it more expensive to NOT cook food and throw it away than the reverse?

Surely you'd have them perform entertaining pantomime or the like? I've never worked at McDonald's, but I always assumed that during downtime they put on armature productions of The Seagull and the like. Am I out of touch?

And would consume more energy maintaining a temperature while cooking frozen patties (that apparently just get thrown away) than just maintaining a temperature with ambient air and nothing else on it.

It's one thing to mistakenly cook extra patties in preparation for a rush that never happens, it's another to cook extra patties just because you have an employee scheduled to work that day...

McDonalds is headquartered here. Maybe it's like Civ II where you have more corruption and waste the further you get from the capital.

That's probably it. So if I arrange my franchises so that they are all exactly the same distance away from headquarters, does this trick the corruption/waste calculation somehow and reduce overall waste? Cause then it would be just like Civ III (I think it was III where this worked).

Hardees/Carl's Jr... tasty, but because it's fried, greasy, and bad for you. Better (flavor) than say, BK and McDs, but will leave you hating yourself after.

Thick burgers, served on grilled sour dough slices, covered in melted cheese, mayo, other toppings.

Speaking of places opening soon, there's a Chipotle being built about a half mile from where I work. I've never been to one, so I don't know how it will stack up to the other fast food options. So, what's it like?

Hardees is good if you don't like your arteries, and Chipotle is good if you don't like your asshole.

Really missing Jack in the Box since we left Texas. But then I don't blame them for not wanting to establish themselves in Florida.

I like Hardee's well enough. Although the dollar per pound ratio is probably the same, there's few cheap options there since they make heavier burgers to start with (1/3rd, 1/2 lb). Still, they're good so far as fast food burgers go and they have some options like the mushroom & Swiss that you don't see at McDonald's.

Chipotle is all right. I feel like their quality has gone down in the past five or so years but I don't know if that's true r if it's because I changed locations and the new closest Chipotle is just worse than the old one. I don't care for the whole "Walk the guy through how to make your meal" thing (avoid Subway for the same reason) so I don't go there much myself and wait for Flea to say she's stopping off on her way home.

Wait. They do that? I hate that with a freaking passion. I get the whole "make it your way" bit, but that's just going to far. What I particularly hate is when I order a sub off the board and they start asking me "do you want this on it? Ok. do you want this", and I'm like "put whatever comes on it", and they stare at me with a blank expression. Um... Part of what I'm paying for is the recipe that your business came up with for the food I'm ordering. I'm not a food flavor expert. Someone who is should be deciding what combination of things go on that sandwich and can presumably do a better job than me and the random guy behind the counter.

They opened up a Which Wich in the mall I frequent. I walked in. Looked at the ordering process involved. Then turned around and walked right out. Ugh!

Eh, I'd rather say "Sausage and mushroom pizza" than walk down a row of toppings with the guy on the other side staring at me like a deer in the headlights at each topping station. "You... want cheese on this?"

More equivalently, I'll go to Jimmy John's and say "Gimme a #4" ten times out of ten instead of walking some 'sandwich artist' at Subway through how to make a turkey sub.

I've got a coworker that goes to Jimmy John's 3 times a week for lunch. Each day he gets some random number. Never really knows what he's got, just picks one and eats it.

I told him that he should bring a 20 sided die with him and roll it at the counter to decide which sandwich he gets.

Then I thought about one of those "Trouble" game die poppers. Jimmy John's should put one of those by their register and put a multi-sided die in there.
