Their food sucks becuase they are chains, and the people who work at them
take no pride in what they do, because it doesn't matter.

they are chains, because volume is the way to make a buck.

There's some truth to this, but there are also plenty of
sucky greasy spoons out there. I remember businessmen in
the '80s were huge customers of McDonalds, because when
in a strange place it was a known (if bad) quantity. So
this has a lot to do with chains too. People travel more
than they once did, and people gravitate toward the
familiar.
