Unimaginative MBA types sterilize and standardize the restaurants to reduce setup costs because then all interior design is bought at a greater volume and they do so in a way to cut cleaning and upkeep costs. This kills the brand over time, but CEOs are paid so much that quarterly profits matter more than the long-term viability of the company. Then someone else comes up with a creative idea for a new startup restaurant and the process repeats itself.

Too bad I liked the Grandpappy’s Country Fried Breakfast but I don’t drive interstates as often now so no big deal. Maybe I’ll buy some of their old gas stations signs or kitchen querns when they sell of their interior decor.

Different factions are permitted to do different things. Old Order Amish use the least tech. New Order Amish can wear a wider range of colors and proselytize more but are stricter aboutdating and other lifestyle issues. Beachy Amish can drive cars but are expected to live simply.

Old Order Mennonites dress like Smish but can drive, but they often only drive black cars with no chrome trim. New Order Mennonites basically live like Pentacostals. Then there are Plain Dutch like Hutterites and Dunkers that do their own thing too.

Where my wife was from, the Mennonites had businesses where after car wrecks they would buy totaled cars that were completely written off from insurance companies for cheap, then fix them up to the point that they pass inspection and look nice, then sell them as used cars. My FiL bought a couple of trucks from those guys and they did good work.
