They are not as evil as some of the detractor's say, however, I do agree, there's nothing like mom and pop places. What I don't like about chains is just what you say, they have to follow the set guidelines, and can't sway from them. You always know what you will get, and while that probably saves you from the "bad" meal, it also stops you from getting that unbelievable experience you get at some mom and pop places too.Also, there's no swaying from the rules at the chains either. A bartender for example can't (generally) just offer you a buy back on a beer, as they can get in trouble (although some do it anyway on the downlow). At a mom and pop place, there's way more leeway to make decisions. |
