"Cafeteria" style restaurants - Luby's, Piccadilly, Morrison's, etc.

I like the idea of cafeteria style restaurants (and automats as well) more than the actual applications. I visited Luby's a couple of times when I was visiting my family in Texas, and while it was OK it was never as good as any regular restaurant.

I actually ate at a real automat in NYC once when I was a kid. It was all the thrills of a vending machine sammich with way more complicated shit to make it happen

Maybe it's because the normies back then had all lived through the depression, but it baffles me how in the 50s-60s people seemed so blown away by processed artificial food product. To the point you had the meme of meals in pill form. I get the feeling if people weren't religious still back then, they'd make today's HECCIN SCIENCE LOVERS look like kids doing a nativity

During my college years, the sports team - during its road trips - would eat at Old Country Buffet any time there was one in the destination city. A quick search tonight shows the parent company recently filed for bankruptcy and that there aren't any local to me like there one was.

During a holiday vacation, the people I was with wanted to eat at an Asian buffet as I believe we were in the area's Asian Town where such buffets seemed to be on every other corner. The one we picked had average food and I found myself more concerned about the sanitation and food safety because my own experiences with working in cafeterias showed me how cleaning schedules don't always get followed properly. Thankfully nobody got sick from the food.
