you know why people like you don't like fast food it's not always just about the food you sure about
that how long did you wait for your order was your order correct when you received it how much
did it cost these are just some of the reasons why your favorite franchise may be one of the 10
fast food chains that are by far the worst in the country in 2023 I think I'll have a cheeseburger
cheeseburger Subway who were you Subway before you were Subway Subway has had some issues when
it comes to ingredients including a lawsuit of how much tuna is actually in their tuna and Court
proceedings on whether it's bread can technically be considered bread but back in the year 2000
Subway was booed by a healthy eating image and a then newly introduced eat fresh ad campaign
that had enough vegetables to make the Jolly Green Giant blush eat fresh eat fresh the sandwich shop
had long surpassed its humble roots and Subway had already expanded globally to over 16,000 locations
across the world entering the New Millennium a decade later in 2010 the company had more
locations worldwide than McDonald's Subway peaked in 2015 as the fastest growing food franchise
group on the planet with 27,000 locations in the USA and another 18,000 worldwide by the summer
of 2021 the foot Long's footprint had increased in more than 37,000 worldwide locations spanning more
than a 100 countries however they're aggressive franchising policies may have been too far too
fast and Subway saw a drop in quality across the board as sales suddenly and drastically plummeted
in the last four years alone many sandwich artists have hit the unemployment line due to
more than 4,000 us-based Subway locations closing their doors Subway remains relevant globally due
to the sheer number of stores remaining from its Glory Days but the company is making an alarming
slide down the mountain and our once favorite foot Foot Longs are falling fast hey Subway eat
fresh and then you bite it and you're like Not So Fresh Burger King Burger King peasants doing
peasants too comedian Mel Brooks once taught us that good The Beat It King but the exception to
that rule is if you're the king of burgers things aren't a total disaster in the Kingdom since BK
is still one of the biggest chains on the planet and here at home as the distant but firmly placed
number two Burger Baron behind the McDonald's Juggernaut but heavy is the head that wears
the crown and gaining ground in the burger Wars hasn't been easy due to slow service times and
aging restaurants issues started to pile up as far back as 2012 when BK had the worst order accuracy
of the major US fast food chains screwing up 177% of their orders that same year they were more than
a full minute behind the national leaders for drive-through service time taking nearly 3 and
1 half minutes to complete each order how long was the drive nearly a decade later things had gotten
even worse with that 200 second service time ballooning to 344 seconds in 20120 and even higher
to 359 seconds by 2021 Burger King's slow service eventually created a slow period in sales too with
customers flocking to the competition when they got tired of sitting at the drive-through window
between 2018 and 2022 BK was forced to close almost 300 stores from coast to coast dropping
from just over 73 300 locations to just over 7,000 the number continues to drop and by the summer of
2023 it was down to just under 6,850 Outlets as the king's Army continues to dwindle the once
Regal Whopper will continue to be mentioned among the worst service times on the market have any of
you ever eaten at Burger King Wendy's dude this is a Wendy's restaurant another slight against
Burger King was that on top of their service issues they they had long defended the title
of most expensive fast food service chain with a higher average price point than their competitors
charging more while taking longer to do it but the king eventually yielded that Crown to a pricey
princess in a not so far off land Wendy's it's been an up and down battle with affordability for
Wendy's which had prices almost 200% higher than the national Burger average during the
1970s they tried to fix their reputation as an expensive fast food chain with the first
national dollar menu when Wendy's introduced the 99 cent superv value menu in 1989 but old habits
die hard in 2022 the company saw a 35% jump in prices which was the largest of the major chains
and by December of that year officially took the crown from Burger King as America's most expensive
burger chain Wendy's average cost of $663 dwarfed BK's former high score of $53 by more than a do a
half compare that to a 5% menu price decrease from McDonald's and you can see why Wendy's is one of
the worst it's not the burgers it's the prices corner the market then raise the price new to
babbletop then how about hitting that subscribe button it's quick it's easy and it's free thanks
I will take the free food Chick-fil-A let's get Chick-fil-A and not tell anybody Wendy's isn't
the only franchise that saw price incre the famous Le closed on Sunday's chicken sandwich Slingers at
Chick-fil-A had a large increase themselves seeing a 15 and a half% increase in prices being charged
to customers the amount of Pocket Change being charged for your chicken might be the least of
Chick-fil-A's problems though they also suffer in the customer service department spending 2022
increasing their costs and also increasing their weight times I don't know how to make a chicken
sandwich the company had the worst weight of 10 major fast food chains monitored and at a
staggering average of 8 and 1/2 minutes they can't even use the excuse that Fried Chicken
takes longer since KFC's average was almost 3 and 1 half minutes faster to put a cherry
on top of this never open on Sunday's Sunday as if high prices and low service standards Aren't
Enough the company's corporate side has a long running issues of civil rights violations at
the federal state and Municipal levels apart from the chicken it seems there 's more than just one
reason why Chick-fil-A finds itself among the worst in 2023 he's discovered my plot to blow
up the Chick-fil-A sabaro Jack goes to sabaro when he's angry with a history dating back to
1956 the pizza Pals from sabaro have been around a long time but the chain hasn't managed to use
that time very wisely despite growing globally to almost a thousand locations across more than three
dozen countries including more than 50 stores in the Philippines subar 's reputation in the USA
leaves plenty to be desired as one of the top ranked italian-based fast food restaurants in
the country in the mid 2000s poor sales numbers and inconsistent quality control from constant
ownership and management changes forced sabaro to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2011
a few short years after their peak in popularity I declare bankruptcy and just when you thought the
coast was clear Baro filed for chapter 11 for the second time in less than 3 years in 2013
like some kind of stumbling zombie zaro lives on but we prefer our zombies on TV or in the movies
not Pizzeria I'll just look up for my SAR Pizza Baskin Robbins that used to be a Baskin Robins
we all know the rhyme about screaming for ice cream but Baskin Robbins and their 31 Flavors
might be screaming for very different reasons with more than 7,000 worldwide locations the
ice cream folks have done well for themselves but there have been red flags showing up darker
than a double scoop of very berry strawberry or cherri's Jubilee stores outside North America
started to close up shop including the unexpected unexplained and permanent 2022 closure of every
Baskin Robin shop in the Philippines remember when we were little and Daddies always take us
to Baskin Robins just a few months before the mass Filipino failure and perhaps in an attempt to get
ahead of their sliding fortunes Basin Robins rebranded its food packaging teen uniforms and
even the logo and color scheme in April 2022 to a refreshed image for four straight years before
they rebranded Baskin Robbins has been closing an average of 75 shops a year across America
suggesting their usually hot sales of frozen treats are quickly cooling off I'm basking in
your pain as I'm robbing you of Life Crystal feed them all with stey crystals Southern slider Burger
chain Crystal which despite being in business for almost a century and the oldest burger chain
in the southeastern United States has seen its share of tough times regionally based and not
widespread the restaurant chain is not a national household name having locations across less than a
dozen states all of which are concentrated in the southern US founded in 1932 and much like other
chains over the years including Little Tavern and White Tower Crystal wholeheartedly took its
strategies from the 1920s and 1930s popularity of White Castle sure there are sliders but they also
focus on funsize other fast food Classics like mini corn dogs and mini chicken burgers but the
real downsizing happened when it came to Crystal sales figures there's no downsizing a declining
reputation in service and quality caused a lull in business with a year-over-year 10% drop in
sales numbers and some very unhappy franchise due to mounting pressure the company declared chapter
11 bankruptcy in January of 2020 new ownership has declared an aggressive plan to save Crystal's
crashing business planning to almost double the number of locations to 500 over the next half
decade while cutting costs with new stores by using 20% less kitchen space and 10% less labor
we can't see into Crystal's future even with a crystal ball but a new strategy might rescue
one of our nation's oldest burger joints from its worst case scenario of brutal Burger bankruptcy it
takes a lot to keep a brand relevant through all those times KFC you shouldn't bring in KFC unless
it's actual KFC playground rumors aside there are plenty of real life reasons you should be sketched
out enough to avoid KFC Colonel Sanders specialty has long Been Under Fire for the questionable
Health content of its various chicken dishes however even smaller items like a single chicken
tender clock in at 260 calories and has as much salt as a full-sized grilled chicken breast or a
side dish like potato salad that has 350 calories and 28 G of fat to itself that's like 10 giant
buckets of KFC the chicken itself is in another unhealthy Stratosphere altogether but sales are
strong enough to require the company to harvest upwards of 1 billion Birds a year an estimate
suggests somewhere around 12 million customers world wide stop at a KFC location somewhere on
Earth every single day so don't feel guilty when you stop in to visit the colonel because you're
definitely not alone it's great I love KFC waffle house smells like a Waffle House sink depending on
who you ask Waffle House is very much a love it or hate it discussion with no room in between known
as a largely Southern chain with Southern Charm to match Waffle House was originally a humble 13
seat Diner founded in Georgia in 1955 and is still headquartered in the peach state today but unlike
some other chains on our list business decisions in the boardroom aren't as much of a factor as
the food quality when it comes to the negatives at this particular chain now if you thought working
at Waffle House was just about cooking breakfast well and while nobody really expects a healthy
home style meal from a 24-hour breakfast joint that's somewhere between a truck stop Diner in
an after church family restaurant Waffle House pulls no punches about what they're trying to
deliver a single trademark Waffle House waffle packs just over 400 calories to itself thanks
to 55 carbs and 50 Mig of cholesterol if you're in the mood for lunch instead the double Angus qu PB
cheeseburger deluxe packs over 1 and 1/2 times the calorie count of a Big Mac or you could offer one
of the pork based dinners and breakfasts that all hover around or exceed a th000 calories each no
matter how you go about any of the deliciousness Waffle House is one of the worst chains when it
comes to watching your waistline you might want to watch your waistline as we work our way to the
end of the worst give this video a thumbs up as we look at a quick service chain that was lucky
enough to not qualify as one at least based on a technicality since it's hard to directly call
Starbucks a food chain unless you're really into reduced fat cinnamon swirl coffee cake or a fancy
ancho chipotle chicken panini at Starbucks it's the beverages that run into trouble not only are
the drink overpriced they're over complicated slow down it's my first day estimates show coffee goers
would save just under $100 a year by switching over to Duncan for their Morning Joe and they'd
also save their breath not dealing with names like double chocy chip cream Frappuccino or cinnamon
caramel cream Nitro cold brew or the laundry list of addable customizations still Starbucks
is clearly doing enough things right for enough coffee holics that we just can't officially call
it one of the worst don't talk to me until I have my coffee Chipotle look at him laughing
at Chipotle the company's slogan for real is supposed to describe the food integrity and
sustainability at Chipotle but it might just be a descriptor for how serious the company has to
be about paying legal fees Chipotle's official swap to that marketing slogan came in 2018 after
years of controversy and fluming stock caused company founder Steve else to step down from
leading the franchise he created and the two years prior Chipotle faced three 2016 lawsuits
one over its non-GMO ingredients claims one for not paying overtime to employees and another for
providing false nutritional information for their chorizo burritos I will sue you for everything
you have but that 2018 CEO change didn't prevent Chipotle's lawyers phones from ringing with two
more lawsuits in 2021 for child labor violation in Massachusetts and unfair employee scheduling
in New York City a year later two employees came forward with a sexual harassment suit in
2022 when it comes to the amount of time they spend in court over poor practices Chipotle's
record just might make them the Undisputed worst fast food chain in the country what
