10 years ago it would be nothing but kids and I just think it's sad a lot of these fast food restaurants are only hiring adults now.

It can be due to moron franchise owners as well. I remember when I was 17 or something and I applied for part time work at a Subway, and the owner said I have to be 19 or over. I remember just bursting out with a chuckle in disbelief. He said they need someone qualified. Sure, bud. Call your "sandwich artists" whatever you want.
It's quite counter intuitive if you think about it.. They want "qualified workers" that are over 19.. But people in that category aren't going to be exactly racing for a job at Subway.. They're all going for the restaurant/warehouse jobs that pay ~$15+..
All the older males who are job hunting would likely resort to labour jobs like construction, painting, gardening, whatever.
So that leaves all the old ladies in the fast food restaurants..
