Wow, where in the world is "Yeah Burger?" Why are we being nostalgic, but also how in the world did an amazing local restaurant turn into this attempt to barely make a burger?
As the takeover of Atlanta is ongoing by major chains wanting to buy out prime real estate, Shake Shack is one of the latest depressive examples. Taking over a pandemic distressed local restaurant, that simply did not have the funds to run along, Shake Shack owned over the place, hired people to pay minimum wage without any discussion for talent and turned it into what's mostly, a disaster.
Granted, the crew here tries hard to keep the place clean. Yet, the level of disorganization is extreme. It sits somewhere between an airport restaurant and an attempt of a meal. Meals take a long, very long time to prepare. Restrooms are an attempt to be clean. Kitchen is a wild place. Everything is one step away from disaster. Burgers are mediocre and inconsistent, at times overcooked.
Perhaps, one of the sad examples where local businesses get taken over by large companies, hire people who should be working at Wendy's and create meals that are deeply deprived of soul.
