Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Maybe people are realizing how terrible a value it is, you can make the place look as fancy as you want, you're still serving what's supposed to be cheap food for crazy prices. There is no possible way you can justify blaming the consumer when the CEO is making tens of millions of dollars, he doesn't do that fucking much, no one does.
this is a recession indicator
Woe is me if all these fast casual places go under.
If you're housed you can buy the exact same shit they heat up from frozen at a restaurant supply store and heat it yourself.
I’ve never seen a restaurant supply store in my life. What?
Use a search engine, you'll find one near you.
Best prices on cookware, frozen food, bdsm gear ..
No, that last one you get at the hardware store. Best rates on ropes, chains, lumber, and eye bolts.
They're like 1 and 1a in some order for sure.
If you've never needed restaurant supplies, that makes sense. There's lots of businesses out there you never hear of because you don't need their services.
As a side topic, that's something that's always fascinated me. Looking around at the various vehicles and shops that most people just see as background noise, there are so many industries that we take for granted unless we need that particular product or service. Lots of things done in the middle of the supply chain that the average consumer never sees. Commerce is an enormous machine with billions of hidden parts to it, and it's amazing it functions like it does even in times of crisis.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_It%27s_Made is about how everyday items are made and it's surprising what goes into things that we take for granted.

You might be interested in this More Perfect Union video about how Sysco is ruining restaurant culture and is about to form a monopoly over the industry.
What does he mean about to? Doesn't everyone know that Sysco provides all the crap for the mediocre restaurants? It's been this way for a very long time.
It should be obvious when you eat at garbage restaurants like olive garden, outback, chili's, probably damn near all hotel restaurants and on and on.
Right now it exists as an oligopoly as oppose to a monopoly.
The giveaway is how they all have the same base flavor and they give you very distinctive burps.
Oh I thought you meant a literal store

I don't know if this is a regional only thing but there are brick and mortar restaurant supply stores. You usually need a membership to buy from them but you can bulk buy the same food and supplies that restaurants buy.
There are also literal stores. I regularly visit a nearby US Foods "Chef'store"
