@halva@autumn dude its a fastfood restaurant thousands of miles away from where youre used to . what makes u think its gonna be exactly the same as it is in america ???
but it's more or less because they're the lowest common denominator of edibility
like if im out in an unfamiliar region and i have to choose between a random local rundown cafe (i literally know nothing about what they're doing in the kitchen) and a fast food chain (they most likely do more or less the same thing they do absolutely anywhere else on earth with some slight local specifics)
im picking the latter, even if it theoretically costs me some charm lol
@halva@fiore i dont think its that, its probably just familiarity. like it sucks but people are more likely to go to something they recognise than something they don't.
like if there was a massive chain of italian restaurants then someone from abroad would go there in italy than a local place even if it would be better in every way
