You'd be amazed.

They're cheap, available damn near anywhere you go, and filling. Lots of people driving long distances will gravitate to them.

Waaaaaay back in my youth, it was often a choice between having electricity and eating. Had a friend that worked overnight at a stop n rob. Me and my best friend could go there, have a free hotdog (or two sometimes), while hanging out and reading comics from the magazine rack.

Free food? Not even able to buy a beer if we could have afforded it? You damn skippy we had hotdogs every day :)
