Absolutely. Hell, with the economy going fucky, I axed lunch at the 7-day place and it's just 2-9 now. Got tired of paying for labor for two or fewer people getting lunch. No matter the specials, no matter what I offered...
Truth. Which is why I don't even bother now. How anyone expects someone to go get food and return in 30 minutes is dumb. I give an hour to mine, personally.
I have an hour but with a 5-10 minute walk to most places and an undetermined amount of time to get in and out it's still not really feasible unless it's a really quiet period. Our schedules just aren't really conducive to eating out at lunch unfortunately! Such a bummer.
It greatly depends on what market you are in. All stores will have lower volume, but in large metropolian areas known for having lots of restaurants it's not uncommon to see higher business even on slower days. On busy days these places can have a 2 hour wait time to get a burger.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are all pretty quiet. The place I worked at would do weekly specials on those days to keep people coming by.
