here is wisconsin a chain called george webb would get that crowd in towns were they have or had them.

my son works 3rd shift at an all night mickey d drive up. Located next to a taco bell.

seems taco bell gets the stoners just before they close and then mickeys gets hit around bar time....

he as a rule does not tell tales cause in many ways he lives in a small town and he knows by association or families, many of the shall we say.....happy patrons.....

i think there are a couple of reasons why the late night is drive up only.
