Unchanged in 10 years? I see the lines getting longer at the fast food

But there's rarely anybody inside.
I used to work at Burger King in the early 80's when I was in high
school. On a typical summer weekend at lunch or dinner time, we
would have 4 registers going with 8-10 people in each line,
including the two-window (pay and pickup) drive-through.
Nowadays you'll see 14 in the drive-through and 3 people waiting
to order inside. Lines like that are unheard of these days.
There were less fast food options back then, though.

Has anyone noticed a geographical difference in home cooking v. eating out? I doubt I get 100 restaurant/pre-prepared meals per year. Most people that live where I do (western WI) cook at home most of the time. I visit my brother in Houston, TX and it seems everyone is going to restaurants daily; while the Viking stove stands idle. I visit my folks in Pheonix and I can't get over the restaurant traffic. From Sonic to steaks; these places are packed all the time.
Maybe I'm off, here, but might it be more a northern/souther thing, a rural/urban thing, or an "I'm just a Bozo" thing?
