It went from a warm, colorful, and welcoming look to this cold, bland, and depressing apple store imitator.
The buildings have lost all of it's charm and character from both the outside and inside.
What's worse is the ones that actually had unique and interesting interiors have all of them completly guted and thrown out for a more homogeneous feel across all Mcdonalds.
I don't even like Mcdonalds but it still makes me sad seeing what the restaurants have turned into.

My local McDonald's did something similar, but it doesn't look that bad. It's not quite as cold and sterile looking. But it's definitely modern and minimalist looking. The one in the picture in the OP looks like a Best Buy more than a McDonald's.

It's still the same shitty McDonald's food. If they wanted to increase their business, they should try making better food. The food sucks and I haven't eaten at McDonald's since the late 2000's and even then, it was just one of their chicken sandwiches. Which wasn't great but not awful.

Making their restaurants look like an office block or an electronics store isn't going to do much.

Anyone old enough to remember when McDonald's almost went out of business in the 90's? I remember because it was a place my family used to go to somewhat often. By family I mean my dad. He would take use there because my mom hated it. She said the food was always terrible. We would go there for lunch or Breakfast. I remember when they used to make a bunch of stuff and stick it under heat lamps, and everything was already made. Then around like 95-96 they stopped doing this. If you ordered anything you had to wait at the front till it was made. I remember people saying McDonald's was going out of business. But here they are in 2022 and still serving up the same shitty food. I hear the fast-food places are struggling and having issues, but they are all still around.

They still do this, but a little bit differently. They cook all the food and have it in tubs in a heated cabinet. When you order the food, they assemble it while you wait, but it's already been cooked and sitting there for a half hour. The only meat that is cooked to order is the quarter pounder burgers. I'm guessing because they are the most expensive. Everything else from eggs to chicken to McRibs are all cooked ahead of time.

They just keep it out of view of the customers. If they don't see the workers grab an old burger from under the heat lamp, they will think the food is getting made fresh. In reality they are basically eating food that has been sitting under a heat lamp.

Here's a trick to get fresh food! Tell them that you don't want salt on your fries or burger, they will have to stop what they're doing and make fresh food specially for you! What a neat trick! The teenage kids who work there love doing extra work so your garbage fast food can be fresh. They totally won't fuck with your food because you demand special treatment. And if you ask for fresh nuggets, they just take old nuggets and drop them in the fryer for about 15-20 seconds to get them hot.

They don't have to worry because I wouldn't eat from McDonald's. But I do know about how restaurants double dry stuff.

The new Wendy's still has some distinction and in the world of the bland shit we have now it actually stands out because of that big red Tetris block there.

Yeah, but it feels like the new gray sterile roof is slowly consuming it to do away with the classic brick style.

Its spreading.

Based Nazi Structure McDonalds not even hiding the imprint of the old iconography.

It's getting worse but at least there's still some style to it. Wendy's tends to be the most counter culture of the big burger brands, but who knows maybe this will give rise to new entities that will bring originality back to our hell scape of consoomerist trash.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing Wendy's fyi. Its one of the few fast food joint I may indulge in when on the road (Burger King and McDonalds are trailer trash quality). I'm just disappointed in seeing it follow the same architectural trends as its faggot competitors.

That's the kind of aesthetic that's been popular with corporations for the past decade. I have no idea why. Maybe it's cheaper. Doesn't look modern to me. Just looks depressing.

I demand that Wendy's bring back the abundance of fake plants throughout the restaurant. Carpeting, too.

Hell, when I was a kid we had a two story BK with a big ass coin fountain and giant ass play area. This new shit sucks ass.

If I ever catch any of the punk-ass kids working at McDonald's spitting in my food. I'm breaking into the kitchen, and shoving their shit-cunt head into the frier, to serve myself a McFaggot for free
