You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
Before I left CA, I remember seeing one of these fucking places opening up in my area. Yes, the line was very long and remained so for months every time I went past it.
Why?
I really, really don't understand treat hogs that can wait an hour or longer for that, sucking in exhaust all the while.
I will never understand the American obsession with mediocre fast food. I watched this happen with literally every new fast food place that opened in a small city off an interstate in Alabama. I can at least understand why small towns get excited for something new, but it's always just shitty food or in this case just some fucking chicken tenders?
My experience in the US is that as soon as you leave a densely populated area, the good, interesting food options drop off a cliff. In car dependent suburbia, these are often the best they have
Sometimes, yeah.
But I've been to plenty of rural areas that have great Mexican restaurants and Hmong restaurants but most of the white people there preferred to eat at an Arby's. Some of those white people were friends and they simultaneously acted like they didn't even know those restaurants existed and as if it were somehow risky to go there.
I was on a beach vacation in Florida and the young dude serving me ice cream at the ice cream shop heard I was from Austin and said "I heard y'all have Raising Cane's there!" Like WTF was that? I can only assume that was the brain dead Florida culture I've heard so much about
Disgusting asphalt desert dystopia
desert asphalt dystopia sounds like a late night soft heavy metal band that plays in Las Vegas every night.
Raising Cane's did this when they opened their store by me. They sent out mailers for free meals and stuff on opening day, the lines stretched around the block and they had police handling traffic. It's marketing fluff to make a ruckus in a new market.
Surprise surprise once people had to pay, I've never seen lines like this again there.
What you're looking at is a policy failure on multiple levels:
Mid ass chicken.
Thank you. I was wondering wtf Raising Cane's is.
I wouldn’t even give it mid. I’ve had better frozen tenders.
Raising Cane's is such a garbage operation. HQ staff had to help run some stores to meet opening dates. They couldn't get enough staff to open on time because "no one wants to work anymore."
I would quit the first day as worker there seeing that line.
I count roughly 15 cars in line, which could be as few as 15 people. All that space taken up for such few people...
