Some people are picky eaters or have difficulty with a lot of foods due to neurodivergence, and fast food is often the lowest common denominator within a group of people.
Some people are on the go and fast food might be the quickest thing to get (not always the case, I know).
Some people don’t live in a city or town or don’t have access to transportation to a different place, or the time to go there. A fast food place might be the closest place to get food.
You might be in a new location and want to go with a chain so you know what you can expect.
It might just be the only place that’s open on a Sunday or at night.
I personally never get fast food from these international chains anymore, but I realize that’s because I have access to plenty of different options, and I actually like to cook (if I have the time).
This wasn’t really a discussion about whether or not people need fast food. The main issue is that fast food places are selling low quality food options at high prices compared to restaurants that are selling higher quality foods with personal service.
I don’t want to spend $15-20 on a meal that just tastes like different textures of salt. At that price, I expect some quality food, and fast food prices clearly don’t match the quality they’re providing.
There’s so many reasons to still get fastfood.
Some people, especially kids, actually like it.

Ah yeah sorry that makes sense, i sometimes miss the point of online discussions
