That is why the harsh colors in the sit-down places and in the never get out of your car places it is the odd colors of the place that drives people to get in and get out.

A bigwig at Chipotle once stated that the chairs in the restaurants are uncomfortable for exactly that reason. They want tables to "turn over" quickly, and comfortable chairs invite lingering.

Chick-Fil-A bucks the trend, though. I like their building colors, interior design, cleanliness, and friendly staff. I wouldn't mind spending lots of time there and have enjoyed chats and chilling there.

I like the little Sonics in the small towns near me. Friendly staff. The chili cheese dogs are better if you add onions, which they had on them when I was a kid. My dogs get the tots. I'm very popular when I get home. I think they smell the tots when I turn the corner!
What I want to know is, Why do people eat at Jack in the Box?
