Ghost Kitchens? WTF!

According to AFP, “It’s September 4, 2022, and around 10,000 people are shouting ‘Beast, Beast, Beast’ in a shopping mall in New Jersey: YouTuber MrBeast is on his way to launch his first burger restaurant, and the crowd is hysterical. MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, was building out his global MrBeast Burger business from its origins as a product made in ‘ghost kitchens’ available only on delivery apps. But he has since had a dramatic change of heart. Donaldson, 25, recently crowned the world’s most popular YouTuber with more than 170 million subscribers, launched a legal case in late July against the suppliers of the burgers to end the deal. The court filings include choice quotes from customers: ‘One New York reviewer, echoing the sentiments of thousands, stated that MrBeast Burger was “the absolute worst burger I’ve ever eaten in my entire life! It was like eating spoonfuls of garlic powder.”’”

A ghost kitchen? A burger business via an app only? What could possibly go wrong? Everything, I guess. Who could have predicted this coming? Everyone, I assume, except Mr. Beast. This whole fast food delivery scheme is for f***ing G.D. idiots. Look, f***tards. I don’t know what part of the oxymoronic term “fast food delivery” people don’t understand, but I can assure you that fast food not immediately consumed at the restaurant or in your car as you pull away from a brick-and-mortar drive-thru is garbage, especially burgers and fries. I promise, no one likes cold fries, yet that’s what happens mere minutes after they’re placed in the bag for delivery, not to mention that said fries were getting cold waiting to be served in the first place. The same holds true for burgers. There is no way I would ever order McDonald’s or whatever other boutique burger joint for delivery. Moreover, I have no f***ing clue what establishment would risk their reputation for quality product on delivery knowing that with each passing minute of delivery time, the food goes to sh*t. Then you throw in “ghost kitchens,” which basically says to the consumer: “You have no idea what you’re about to get.” Seriously? Sorry, but if there’s no physical location where I can go and see what’s happening with my food for myself, then I ain’t ordering from them. Who risks this kind of business strategy with a ghost kitchen? I guess Mr. Beast, who is learning the hard way. Look, morons. If you crave burgers and fries, then just go to the f***ing restaurant and get it. Otherwise, you only have your lazy self to blame for the sh*t that shows up at your door, which you paid extra for if you tip plus the delivery charge. Welcome to stupid America!
