        I would think worse actually, fairly sure our literacy and numeracy scores are worse now than in the 80s.

        Ah, ok, they peaked in 2012, been declining since, almost back down to 70s/80s levels.

        This graoh only goes to 2022… and other sources have those scores continuing to fall.

        And we also have TikTok destroying everyone’s attention spans and capacity to self regulate today.

      The modern consumer would understand the a&w restaurant is probably run much more city than the McDonald’s restaurant unfortunately. It’s always interesting to me when I go to the McDonald’s near my house that shares a parking lot with KFC / a&w and unfortunately that a&w and KFC restaurant is literally one of the worst run restaurants in my area. Only rivaled by the Wendy’s three blocks away. Where is that McDonald’s the worst they’ve done is late night they’re shake machine and ice cream machine always seems to be broken and they get my order wrong probably one out of every five times. But not blatantly wrong every single order.

        … What does ‘run much more city’ mean?

        Were you trying to type ‘shittily’?

          Yeah I was supposed to be shitty but when you do voice to text and don’t look at what’s typed out it kind of messes up sometimes not a big deal you got the idea
