While not exactly a fast food place....I thought that I would weigh in on a chain that I detest in any case.
Cold Spring Creamery Ice Cream Shoppes.
1) Their pricing is insane. Hey, if you can find suckers willing to pay out the rear for your product...more power to you. But to charge 30-50% more than other ice cream joints for a product that is only marginally as good....well, like I said good luck.
2) The singing servers. Ok, the first time I heard it standing in line, I thought it was cute. 10 minutes later, it was annoying. 20 minutes later, I wanted to hit them with their scoops. 40 minutes later while leaving, I vowed never to set foot in the place again.
Baskin Robbins still does it right. And at $3.29 a pint.....it is still affordable.
Rant over.

The worst though is when they combine two or three in one, like KenTacoHut's...KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut in one. If I want fried chicken, the last thing I want to smell is Mexican or pizza.
The worst combination I've seen is a combo Dunkin' Donuts and Blimpie's subs. Bologna and bavarian cream donuts just do not work together.
