Why does Americans always fight at fast food restaurants?

Fights are more likely to happen after bars close and drunks show up to get a bite to eat. Lil old me used to frequent some grimy dive bars around 15-20 years ago. I was sitting outside drinking with some friends when this guy got thrown through the front glass door. Of course all this was before phones had cameras.

Fast Food places are more likely to attract trashy types. And this is definitely not an American thing.

Wow, you haven't?

I guess you're one of those cosmopolitan classy types that only eats at Olive Garden.

Listen, let’s not start shitting on Olive Garden. Everything is made fresh every day except the breadsticks. Or at least that’s what my college roommate told me when he was managing one.

Also I’ve never seen a fight at a fast food joint, including after when the bars close and everyone’s trashed

I'm just amazed anyone manages to get fat, I was just looking at all the wasted food.

Did you just call the videos on the first page fake news?

The clientele
Yup.

Typically trashy poor people, students, redneckers, and people with attitude.

Beaten down and bossed around by 28 year old middle managers at work who make double their pay, so when pissed, get into a fight with other low lifes while waiting for their $7 McDeal being cooked by high school kids.

You got to win a battle at some point in life.

It's usually at McDonald's too. You won't see many fights in Carls Jr. or Burger King.

It's because McDonald's attracts a lot of ghetto types.

The lower the price, the sketchier the clientele.

When broke people are in line, it's really chest pumping to know you can fill up on dollar menu McDoubles. So when another sketchy person in line is amped up for 2 apple pies for $1.29, you got two people who are so excited for junk food with a cost of goods of 12 cents per wholesale unit, you'd think they just won the lottery and married Jessica Alba to boot.

I guess that's why fists fly.

- I get bossed around by everyone at work
- I get bossed around by the landlord
- I get bossed around by anyone working at the bank, utility company, credit card company because I'm broke

But I can throw my weight around McDonald's because the other customers are just as shady and I feel more worthy than french fry cooks since they won't do anything.

At The Golden Arches, I feel like a king.

Scum will be scum, when scum encounters scum then scum fight. (One gets a beat-down)

Sometimes scum encounter a bigger foe but they haven't yet leveled up for and get their ass whooped.

Sometimes it's drunk aggressive retards. These foes sloppily roll around the ground and throw chairs.

My favourite part of these videos are the people in the background calmly eating their food, you just know they're thinking "well, it ain't gladiator but it's at least some free entertainment".

Is this just a single, or are you working on an EP?

I remember everyone fighting over that Popeye's Chicken Sandwich last year and thought they were all morons.

Then I had one myself and realized that I might actually kill someone for it. I mean, it was delicious! :messenger_savoring:

I never understood the rush for Popeyes chicken sandwiches. They've been selling chicken sandwiches in Canada for like 4 years.

Basically to every non-american making a thread like this. Stop worrying about us, we don't care one bit about you because you've done nothing worth caring about.

We...don't worry about Americans? Pretty sure it was just an observation. That confidence though...amazing!

Fast food employment doesn't pay enough to put up with customers who feel entitled to be cocksuckers because they pay for service. So tensions flare and boom it's a circus. That's the reason. But I think a good scrap is healthy once in awhile and I never needed much of a reason to put my foot in someone's ass so I'm always down.

At least us Brits can blame it on being drunk. Dunno what got into you lot.

Must be really cheap over there; how cheap can a chicken sandwich get - eight, ten dollars?

Fast food restaurants totally makes sense! No judgement there. Now grocery store meltdowns are a totally different story...

When you type 'Fast food fights' into YouTube, it's pretty much predominately American.

Obviously there are Euro ones but that requires digging.

Like, look at this monster brawl;
