The Correlation Between People Who Eat At Raising Canes and People Who Litter

Over the years one of my hobbies was picking up trash to clean up the neighborhoods. It eventually led me to a job in grounds keeping where I clean up garbage for a large apartment complex. Over the years I have noticed patterns on the types of things that are most littered. 

When it comes to fast food restaurant trash, the ones I find more than any other are from Raising Canes. Now the reason this is odd is because there are not many of these restaurants near my location. The nearest one is 5 miles away. Pretty much every other chain has several restaurants closer by, yet despite this fact, it is still the most littered. 

One might think it is a fluke, but these findings have been consistent and it is not just one one specific area, it is everywhere I go. I will say they Raising Canes does put their logo on pretty much all their containers so that may have a small contributing factor, but it still does not explain why their trash is found so much more than other similar restaurants. 

It has really become a joke. Whenever I find a cup or a wrapper from there, I say to myself "The joke continues" because it feels like a joke the universe is playing on me haha. 

I am curious if anyone else has noticed this? It is possible there is just some strange correlation between people who eat at Raising Canes and people who litter? 

Five Guys is Not Good

As the title states, Five Guys restaurant is not good in my opinion. Recently my work ordered a group lunch and they picked Five Guys. I pleaded for other choices but that is the one they went with. 

As someone who doesn't eat much meat, this place really has limited options. Heck, even if you do eat meat this place has limited options. It's pretty much burgers, hotdogs, and fries and that's it. I went through every item on the menu trying to find at least something to order. I reluctantly settled on a veggie burger with cheese. I requested bbq sauce as well.

I go to the location to pick it up for our group. Now I used to work for Door Dash so I have experience picking up from this restaurant. Let me tell you, it was always one of my least favorite places to pick up from to the point where I pretty much refused to take orders from there. 

Right off the bat as soon as you walk in there is a nauseating smell. It gives me a headache almost instantly just being in there inhaling the fumes from the cooking. 

Another thing is, they don't start the fries until you get there. The point of pick up is that is is ready to pick up when you get there. No one picking up wants to wait extra time for the food to be cooked after they arrive and are ready to pick it up. 

Then of course is the greasy fries that soak through the bag. They used to just give a paper bag which was a disaster of course but now even with a plastic bag it is pretty disgusting with the oil and steam. 

So back to picking up this order. It's for 8 people and they all have fountain drinks. After waiting about 10 minutes for it to be ready they give me the order and 8 cups. Just great, now I have to fill up and prepare 8 cups of soda. And the machine is one of those touch screens with all the different choices which seems like a good idea except it just makes everything more difficult. Try getting the right while trying to control the flow with a touch screen.  

So after about another 10 minutes of making the drinks I am finally able to load everything into the car. I have to keep the windows down because the smell is overwhelming.

I get back to work and set up the food. I get my veggie sandwich and it has no cheese and no sauce. So I pretty much got raw vegetables on a plain bun. Delicious... not. Glad I brought my lunch as usual just in case for situations like this. 

Anyway, just wanted to rant because I am disappointed by this restaurant and my experiences I have had there. Anyone else have a similar opinion? Feel free to leave a comment.
