(That seems to be an across the board shift in norms too - never met anyone under 35 who thought the tip amt was a judgment call)

Just like Millennials certainly are poor but even rich ones don't give a shit that getting McDonald's isn't "classy", contra Arnade

Fwiw think about the fact that the new wave after "casual" was "fast casual" - a dumb name coined bc it sits between McDonald's & Applebee's

That's what Chipotle is, it's slightly upscale branded food without tipped waitstaff, that's where the Applebee's money is going

That's what's actually directly killing Applebee's, it happened bc in the '90s the stigma around counter service was fading

Or, rather, it was a thing - for hip urban populations - and Chipotle took it mass-market

(Which is why Applebee's is now stigmatized, it's a relic of the old, unhip suburbs and old ppl who need a waiter to make them feel safe)

(This is a bullshit reason to be snobbish abt it btw bc the point of the Chipotle brand name is to make a burrito joint just as "safe")

(Leaving aside that it's apparently actually dangerous what with the E. coli and whatnot)
