Not really, unless you're talking about drive thru.

At the In-N-Out in Milpitas, which is completely packed
24/7,  you can walk in, get in one of the three lines,
and have your order taken within 5 minutes. They can
usually produce your order within another 5 to 10 minutes,
which is fine with me, given that it is cooked to order.

The only way you get served quicker at your other fast-food
burger joints is by ordering something that is likely to be
sitting ready to distribute from the burger bins.

When I order a McDonalds hamburger with only lettuce
and tomato and well-done, it gets made fresh and
takes about 10 minutes.  They won't give me a premade
burger because they know that they are all are medium-well,
and would most-likely be returned.   This gives me a
non-e-coli infested fresh burger that I can rely upon.
