re: #414 William Lewis

Huh. The look was the least of their problems - the menu was worse than usual for a chain restaurant so hopefully they did do something about that. I used to have to hit far too many of that kind of restaurant when I was driving truck and that was my least favorite. Applebee’s, despite it’s boring nature, I found preferable because they at least had a decent burger and that boring sameness meant I knew I’d get it at the end of a too long day.

And that’s why a lot of those places are popular: when you walk in, you know what you’re getting. Most people don’t want exciting, they want familiar.
