  • Most fast food restaurants don't serve alcohol. Is that because it isn't allowed, or do most chains just feel it is more trouble than it's worth?

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses the reasons behind the absence of trash cans in most fast food restaurants, focusing on McDonald's as a primary example. The primary reason cited is to reduce labor costs associated with emptying trash cans and cleaning up messes, which can be significant in high-traffic fast food environments. Additionally, the article mentions that the lack of trash cans encourages customers to take their trash with them, thereby reducing litter around the restaurant premises. The piece also touches on how some fast food chains, like Chick-fil-A, have implemented table service to manage waste more effectively, while others, such as In-N-Out Burger, still provide trash cans due to their business model and customer expectations. Overall, the decision to not have trash cans is largely driven by cost-saving measures and maintaining cleanliness.
