    I grew up with and worked at McDs in high school and college. It used to be a family place (play places, fun colors) it used to be a friendly place (you could have birthdays there, cashiers were nice, you’d run into people you know), it used to have prices that were reasonable/cheap.

    It is none of those things anymore. Why on earth would I go there when there’s a burger place right across the road thar costs maybe $1 or $2 more and is actually good?

      Right? The McDs I remember growing up was a themed one. It was trying to be like a 50s soda shop. They had a model (or actual?) grill for a retro 50s car coming out of the wall. There were neon light decorations around the place and pictures of Elvis. They played rockabilly music instead of top 50 recent hits or whatever.

      McDs these days reminds me of airport bathrooms.
