It's been forever since I had Jack in the box. W use to have one here, but it closed down. I went to one when I was out of town, but only like a couple times. And I don't have one in my hometown, either...

it costs 18 bucks just for 2 people to order food at McDonalds.

Meanwhile, it costs less than that to get food from Burger King

I think that depends on what you get.

Yeah, it absolutely depends. The two work out to roughly the same. Neither is anywhere near as cheap as, say, KFC where you can get an absurd number of calories for an absurdly cheap price.

is burger king so crap that most people would rather drive a little further for mcdonalds instead of stopping at what's right there?

Yep. Insanely so. They don't even give you biscuits in their "x piece bucket" deal.

Last time I ate bk I thought it only tasted ok and then i was sick to my stomach for the next half day
---

I like bk other than they skimp o condiments. Either they are cheap or want to make sure you taste and know their burger patty is superior to McDonald's.
---

i barely see ads online or offline for burger king...it's like they don't even care if people buy from them

most i get are random coupons once in awhile but i never use them since BK is dumpster tier
---

They might not care since they have a contract with the military...
---

I go to BK on occasion.
---

I haven't been to BK is years! We had one in my home town that was owned by some foreigner folks and they would always screw up your order. it has since closed down.

Almost every fast food place in town is full of employees and managers who couldn't give a fuck. Most decent place here seems to be Bojangles.

I see ads on TV for them once in awhile. Usually when advertising a deal or when the put something new on the menu.

It's eerie how little activity the burger king near me gets

what's stranger is there's a starbucks not too far from where it is...keep in mind this is a fairly rural place so seeing A Starbucks is mind boggling as i don't really expect old retired fishermen to be of the hipster coffee drinking type

Their wives might. Its not just hipsters that like Starbucks white women of about any age group. Older ones just don't seem as obsessed with but might stop in once in awhile.

The bk where I grew up wasn't too bad they just got really fucked on location. On one side of them there was McDonald's on the other Bojangles then across the street kfc/taco Bell combo and wendy's.

Those unfamiliar with Bojangles its really big business in at least some areas of the south east. They tend to always do really good.

it just seems like it was a poor decision to put a burger king here....they've been desperate for customers ever since it opened

and as for the starbucks it just seems really odd to open a starbucks in an area where the majority of the population are elderly retired folks

folks that don't really much care for coffee as much as the younger people do...so why open one up here?
---

NightMareBunny posted...

honestly i guess when you have the choice of Burger king or any of the other following places for burgers i guess it's easy to see why BK isn't popular around here

when you got

mcdonalds
whataburger
sonic
dairy queen

close enough that traveling a little further is no biggie

mcdonalds is crap. their buns/burgers are plain and crap. the only reason mcdonalds does so well is because of the price

Coffee has been big business for a really long time. Its the most consumed beverage in the world last I checked and for a long time.

Coffee shops on the other hand is something the younger generation have made big I'll admit
---

i don't deny that coffee's a big business but a coffee shop like starbucks that is usually popular with trendy young people and business folks

isn't gonna succeed in an area where the majority of people coming through might as well be someone's grandfather or grandmother

As said white women in general like Starbucks the older ones just usually won't be the ones on there every damn day but here and there when they are out and about and decide they want coffee. Its how my mom was until she finally decided their coffee isn't worth the price they ask.

i usually get ground starbucks coffee if anything from grocery stores...haven't really stepped into a starbucks in ages

i just think it's weird when people think it's a good idea to open a business in a rural area where the population is very set in its ways and doesn't really care about new trending things

that's why I'm not surprised I'm the only soul who owns a nintendo switch in my area(still have yet to see another person with one)

Is the Starbucks staying in business? If so enough people for there. And on the switch thing you'll never really know as its unlikely you'll go in every one's house. Sure some grandparents have one for their grandkids. Growing up I had a nes at home and at my grandparents

if you are opening up a coffee shop in a place where the population isn't gonna be swayed into paying premium prices for what you sell then what's the point of even opening a starbucks here?

sure one of the old ladies might show up once in a blue moon but opening a starbucks for a few women that aren't gonna be regular customers seems silly

and yeah about the switch i might never know but i frequently take the switch with me when i go into town or the next town over(which is where gamestop is located)and although not surprising at this point I'm still shocked to never have seen another switch in all this time

leaving the thing always docked kind of defeats it's entire purpose of being a hybrid device

You literally said old people don't drink coffee as much as younger people.

The only think McDonalds sells which I consider notably better than Burger King are the Nuggets and Fries.

Bk ain't bad. They are just inconsistent. I've been to many McDonald's and they are all roughly the same. With bk you can go to one that's great then go a town over and find a shitty one.

Their actual burgers are superior to McDonald's Imo. Just a shame they skimp on condiments. And the original chicken sandwich to me beats anything McDonald's has.

Your post makes no sense.

how so? clearly if you can go there and find that 9 out of 10 times it's a ghost town yet are able to stay in business

they must have really low expectations that a couple customers once in awhile is enough for them

It makes perfect sense. Having the fifth most sales of all restaurant chains at $9.3 billion a year is low expectations.

Also, it looks like NMB doesn't know about the concept of overhead, which makes sense because it includes paying employees.

I still go to Burger King every now and then.

Then it'll close down soon. If it doesn't, then they are probably doing ok. It doesn't really matter that much. They will put Starbucks wherever they want. They may get more business than you know about. It's not like you're watching it 24/7. And if you are, then you should be more worried about that. For the Switch thing, I don't see how you're ever going to know. I don't ever see people with on when I'm just out and about. But when I talk to people, they have one. They just don't always have it with them. There are plenty of reasons why you would be out and not have it. It's different for everybody. People most likely have it where you are. Just saying you haven't seen anybody with one is a moot point...

Burger king is so much better than mcdonalds, shame the one near me was forced to close down when they redid the shopping centre.

I love Burger King, its right across from mcdo alds, at mickey d's I could order just a mcchicken and mcdouble and soda, only one in the drive thru and still have to wait 5 to 10 minutes.

BK its always so fast and instant.
And the croissonwich is awesome, only thing bk does that sucks is their coffee and main chicken sandwich.

Also they always give so many coupons in the mail and they never care about expiration dates
