They went from kids/family vibe to “operating theatre please leave quickly” vibe. In Australia we had one with a train carriage for kid’s birthdays, one with a plane, all sorts of fun. I understand the change and the coffee is better for it but still change isn’t always a good thing

Apple stores have a carefully curated and expensively-built aesthetic.

Modern McDs have what can only be called an anti-aesthetic. 'How can we make you leave with zero feelings, and not look like we spent the absolute minimum on it?'

People say they are apeing Starbucks, but at least you don't get sense of pressured of unease and unbelonging in a starbucks, and it actually feels like a place.
