Did you ever wonder? Luckily for you, Rusty is here to wonder for you.
This is part one of a series I am writing just for you folks!
Part One: Diners.
McDonalds has completely fucked this country. How you ask? It's quite simple. The great American diner. Opens at 5-6AM for the hungry folks heading to work in the morning. They would stop in, sit at the counter, have coffee and eggs, chat with the other locals, maybe read the sports section, and the waitress behind the counter knew everyone by name, and their regular order. Now? Nope. Now the American worker is sitting in a drivethru, waiting for a greasy sausage and fegg biscuit, to eat on the way to the job. The Diner was the American staple for so many years. Where are they now? Sure there are still plenty around, but are there regular customers anymore? Nope. Maybe a few, but not like it used to be. What other countries were run through by diners in all the towns? The Diner defined America and our way of life. A family owned business, and more often than not, relying on local product to feed the hungry citizens of the town. As diners go the way of bulk purchasing to keep up with McDonalds, the local producers aren't selling like they used to.
You may be following where I'm going with this by now, but if not, stay tuned for the next installment.
