While the chains loudly proclaim with advertising panels and other slogans “We are taste”, “Restaurant” or even “Quality hamburger”. Let's say no to the drink with the limited choice of "Made in Coca-Cola Company", no to mayonnaise from 0,05 grams to 1 Euro, no to hamburgers whose only vegetables are this miserable salad leaf and this slice of pickle; No, to this meat whose lack of taste is covered by an unwanted quantity of sauce; No to uncomfortable environments accompanied by music from the top 50; “no to clearing the too small table ourselves which we used to devour this already cold food at the very moment when it had barely left the kitchen, no to the paying toilets when we have just spent almost 10 Euros in a “restaurant” which will certainly not satisfy the hunger which devastated us when passing through the sliding doors of these sanitized places.
