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.

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?

New times: drug tests
This guy was in the lobby at the McDonald's in the local mall jamming on a self playing piano throughout my childhood. Now it's just a bland, boring lifeless shell of its former self.
more like a hospital 🏥 than a prison.

Seems to me like there's a pretty wide variety of McDonald's interiors.
I hope Gen Z fixes this when we're running the businesses.
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.
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 miss the looks of the 90's McDonald's restaurants
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.
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?

This is mostly because they don't want you eating inside. Maintaining a dining room takes extra staff and other expenses.
