In all honesty having had kids here (and been one himself in the 80's when McDonalds was better), they ruined the brand by taking the characters and focus on kids out of it. Used to go there with kids to play on the playground.. used to have birthdays there.. it's what kids like. Now anon's local place is all catered to moving you out quickly.. self serve ordering stations.. a small dining area.. and the back dining area that looks like an airplane economy cabin with small cocoons with a small seat and charging stations.. Not the McDonalds of old. If you didn't live in the 80's you don't get the vast difference in what it is now from what it was.
