[LONGHAIR]

It seems to me that pretty much all of the big chain places have traded quality for profit. Whether it is the lowest-end fast food or the more mid-range casual dining joints, none seems like it used to be.
I don't know if it's because they are testing the market, to see what is acceptable and try to surf that edge, or what?

In more recent times, some of the problem may be attributable to lack-luster employees, but that doesn't explain the actual food, just the prep and presentation. If the quality or size of the food itself drops, that's a corporate choice.
A lot of places around here are limiting hours because of staffing issues. Some have even closed some locations and shifting employees to others, to keep open.
Friday afternoon, on my way home, I stopped at the local Meijer for some groceries. The Subway inside the store was closed! at 4:00 on a Friday?
They had a sign apologizing for the closure, due to staffing shortage.
