Fast food wasn't a bad idea, initially, when it was pretty fast and pretty
nearly food. Now, it seems as though it's neither nowadays.

When I was a boy, I worked at one of the first two McDonalds' outlets (I hate to
call them "restaurants") in Denver. Working the "window" meant you were fired
if it took longer than 30 seconds to process an order, aside from making change.
Of course customers didn't have to deal with the confusing menus and confusing
prices. A burger (no cheeseburgers back then) cost $0.15, fries cost $0.11, and
a vanilla milkshake cost $0.21. That was the range of the offering, and it was
really fast. Now, was it food? ... well ...
