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

At my age 30, as someone who takes very good care of themselves and eats 99% organic health crap, I would never eat at McDonalds these days.

If I was the SAME person I am today, but it was the 80s, I would absolutely eat at McDonalds - just the vibe and character can't be beat in that specially weird Americana 80s style.
