I shouldn't assume people know: You see there were fast food shops in ancient Rome. They had a very similar layout to a NYC pizza place, although they mostly sold bread with olive oil, not pizza exactly.

But they had no seating, a little counter, oven in the back. Those florescent lights that make all times of day and night collapse into the same endless moment didn't exist back then. But they must have had some other method of bending time in those days of smoke and oracles.
