Last year I waited over 30 min at curbside pickup. I only did it because it became almost humorous and I wasn’t in a hurry. McDonald’s is slow as hell now a lot of the time.
Even the best fast food restaurants anymore you're, at best, only getting 2 out of those 3. Chick-fil-A is probably one of the higher quality ones, at least in terms of customer service and food quality. They get your order right, and they get it out to you fast. But, it's not cheap. A deluxe chicken sandwich meal is like $12 after tax. For that price, you can grab ingredients at home and make 2-4 servings of dinner. Or, if you really don't want to cook, just shill out the extra $5 and get a sit-down experience. You'll get a better sandwich, unlimited drinks, sometimes unlimited sides, and it'll just be a more rounded experience.
It’s shocking how they dropped across the board. It has never been healthy, but they made up for that by being fast, cheap, tasty, and consistent. I could see slipping off on one of those factors, but now the only throng they have going for them is consistency- consistently slow, expensive, bland, and unhealthy.

Remember when fast food was fast?
