CMV: Fast food places shouldn't wrap the burger unless you're taking out

If you're eating in-house then they should just make it, plate it and serve it.

If Macdonalds, BK or KFC did this then their burgers would actually look like on the sign, instead of being compressed into a flat sandwich-like abomination.

I've never worked in any such place but I assume that when you fry up the paddy, put on the sauce, pickle, onions and salad, and then just let the top bun rest ontop of all this it looks fine. It's not until they compress them into wrappers that they start to look like shit.

One issue I can see is that you wouldn't be able to make use of the "ready-shelf" they have where they stack ready made burgers that sit and wait for several minutes. Probably useful during rush hours. But quality would be vastly improved with the same ingredients and essentially same manufacturing process.

This would slow down the process because now they would have to look at every order to see if it is a eat-in or to-go order and then treat it accordingly.  It is much faster just to treat all of the orders the same.  

Furthermore, the burger will never look like it does in the pictures on the menu.  Those photographed burgers are made with non-food ingredients to look a certain way when photographed.
