The kiosks are great. I can more easily customize my McChickens, and they almost always come out boiling lava hot.
The world has become Applefied.

That does not sound pleasant.
That’s why I don’t get their apple pie.
PunnyName@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s pleasant because it’s not like luke warm. I can let it cool, or nuke the roof of my mouth; choice matters!

The move toward self-serve stuff is actually revolutionary for people who don’t like constant social interactions, i have autism and holy shit just 10 years ago i would have been spending all my social energy just talking to cashiers.

more like a hospital 🏥 than a prison.

Seems to me like there’s a pretty wide variety of McDonald’s interiors.
Binthinkin@kbin.social 1 year ago
Their food is absolute garbage do not eat there.
The fancy look is just what everyone else is doing.
America doesn’t actually have style. They have architectural and design dickheads throw shit at a wall and we have to put up with it and that’s what winds up in peoples homes.
And I have remodeled some homes to look like McDonalds and the client doesn’t even recognize it.
It’s so sad.

Can you elaborate on that story?
boonhet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s been in style for a while
Saddest part is, I also default to this sort of appearance. Though if I do see a cozy place, I like it - but if you asked me to design something, it would be millennial gray. I have no imagination.

I hope Gen Z fixes this when we’re running the businesses.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
i’m praying gen Z fixes this by telling corporations to fuck off and going back to how fast food worked for most of human civilization: just random people selling stuff from their kitchen, basically.
fun fact: at least in rome it was basically standard for most people to eat “fast food”, the streets were jam packed with various little food shops.
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think that’s still the case in some places, take countries like Korea or Vietnam, where street food is everywhere and it won’t literally kill you to live off of it.

I don’t like McDonald’s. I’m just old enough that the Play Place thing wasn’t for me.
But I’ve got family that likes that stuff, especially the kids. The one closest to my house was kept to look like a 50/60’s diner with murals of rock n roll musicians and an old school juke box (with the lil baby singles records).
It was a pleasant, if not fun, setting. They gutted it to look like the prison picture.

Hurrdurr Apple bad
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Please tell me five good things about Apple.
thorbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why would I waste my time talking to a brick wall
boonhet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Fuck it, I love playing devil’s advocate.
-
Seamless integration between their products (at the cost of having to be in their walled garden)
-
Best, smoothest mobile UX out there (and I’ve used many Androids, including custom ROMs)
-
Moving their computers from from x86 to ARM (much better power consumption to performance ratio). This will likely improve Linux ARM support too, as people use Asahi on Apple Silicon Macs and more packages are then created for ARM.
-
Taking active part in creating industry standards (such as USB-C, which they admittedly should’ve adopted on their phones long ago, but they DID promise not to change plugs for 10 years when moving to Lightning).
-
Macbooks don’t bend like a lot of plastic non-Apple laptops do. Their batteries also seem to last longer - might be anecdotal, but I’ve fixed thousands of laptops, easily over a thousand Macbooks produced in the 2010-2017 era (I quit that job in 2019).

This is mostly because they don’t want you eating inside. Maintaining a dining room takes extra staff and other expenses.
dullbananas@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
This post brings back a recent memory of my high school senior field trip to Disneyland where we went to the nearby McDonald’s first, and trying to do hygene stuff in the crowded bathroom felt so ghetto, and then at the tables while other kids were talking I was writing a comment on a pull request on Lemmy’s GitHub repository
Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
They do that partially to encourage people not to sit down and eat inside for a long time. They want you in, buying their trash, and GTFO quickly after. They make the seats intentionally uncomfortable so you don’t stay for long.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It also discourages “them” from sitting there with their dirty unwashed clothes and body when they dared to only buy one thing with the money they were able to panhandle.
Wouldn’t want to let such people have a warm place to sit that wasn’t the public library, now would we? By the way, when do we close down the public library?
