      The fun thing is, both emotionally and semantically a burger means a citizen as in the opposite of a king.

        very real chance the corporation raised the prices of the franchise ingerdients without raising the prices of the franchise menu items and this location’s owner had a relationship with the local ingredient distributor, ran the numbers, and figured they could sell enough burgers in the local community to make more money than they would keeping the random walk-ins who go into a burger king because they know what they’re getting.

    I was thinking about trying Jack-in-the-Box for the first time so I downloaded the app, and my local joint wasn’t listed. Did some digging and they were apparently delisted because their google reviews were truly awful. Exclusively one stars for the last year. Stuff like “person in the drive through window tried to climb out of the window like the girl from The Ring and fight me” and “the chicken was still straight up frozen, like directly from the freezer not a little cold in the middle”. I thought they always had a long line because it was good, but it turns out people get stuck in that line for an hour and can’t get out.

        Right, but that still doesn’t make sense. The only dictionary entry I’m finding for Fux is a variant of Fuchs, which means Fox, or colloquially a few other things unrelated to food like ‘fraternity pledge’. Fuck is Fick (n) / ficken (v) so it’s seemingly not that.

    It is probably like the KFC in a neighboring town. They owner was so cheap and let it get run into the ground. When he stopped paying the chain they were going to come remove his signs. So he Painted Chicken over all of them and started buying the same or similar products from the the local food distributor he got a lot of KFC’s products from. Of course it was his shitty management that lead to that and things didn’t improve after it was just ‘Chicken’. It stayed there three or four more years though.

    Ingolstadt apparently. I couldn’t find the exact one, but there appears to be only 2 burger kings in the city, and I suspect it’s this one (warning: google streetview)

    God what a beautiful city Ingolstadt looks like from above though, with the Danube flowing through it, and the old city having an actual green belt around it

      Fun fact in case you didn’t know, the green belt you are referring to is the leftover area of what was once the city wall. You can still kinda see it in the star like shape of the green belt and there are a few old fortifications left for sightseeing.

          So, I’m still googling it, it seems the one south of Ingolstadt was from the same owner, but this one had just re-opened last summer (I’m assuming new management) after being closed for a while. Still haven’t found the “Burger” one though.
