Ahhhhhh, gotcha. Well, something like that can indirectly hurt because lower wages means shittier employees who care less and make crappier food slower. Many fast food locations across all the brands suffer from this. But if you have a good one with good service and food quality, it’s more likely you’ll patronize them.

For a long time I didn’t eat Burger King because the only ones near me were crappy. But we’ve moved to a place where we have one that’s decent, so it’s something I get very occasionally.

But yeah, most of fast food’s problem is the larger problem of companies in our country: Nobody can afford to buy anything. Or rather, at all levels, budgets are tighter. :)
