What happened to having SOUL?
People stopped making children.
>>22139820It's better now
>>22139852soulless grey how
>>22139820I wonder...
>country becomes less and less white and more spiritually jewishgee I wonder
>>22139820Think of the property resale values anon
>>22139820What happened to 2017
>>221398752026 is what they looked like in 2017
SOUL doesn't add resale value when those franchises fail. A McDonald's restaurant isn't that safe of an investment anymore.
>>22139820Why have tables?
>>22139874>>22139941So you're saying they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars today to remodel a building today for a -potential- failure in the indeterminate future?Wouldn't that be like buying another car today in anticipation of your car failing some time in the next 5-10 years? How does that make any financial sense?
>>22139820the entire point of the modern world is to contain gen-y from overtaking the old fuddy duddies.it didn't work.
>>22139946>How does that make any financial sense?because it's designed, not potential.
>>22139945you're right, goyslaves can eat sitting on the floor
>>22139820Hi r*ddit
>>22139946It's minimizing potential losses which looks better to investors. It's more like asking someone to invest in your car and choosing between putting on a fresh coat of paint that most people would be interested in vs flames on the side with a clown head on top. People might find the latter entertaining and enjoyable but not many would want to pay to have it themselves.
>>22140015Yeah except nobody buying a building like a former McDonalds, former Pizza Hut, former anything is just going to slap a coat of paint on and be open for business. They're always going to do some level of renovation to have it make sense and differentiated for the new business. The meme of "that new veterinary clinic is an old pizza hut!" simply doesn't fucking matter. Sometimes its even advantageous for them. I've been to a couple small towns where an accountant or something kinda advertises they're in "the old pizza hut building" and everyone knows exactly what they're talking about. Other times people subtly know it probably used to be a pizza hut but nobody cares because the building still looks "okay".
>>22140036I've seen a lot of old McDonalds locations in the Inland Empire (southern San Bernardino county) be repurposed into O'Reilly's or taco shops. Cover up the old iconic roof and rip out the play place and they're just little brick buildings.Most real estate remodels and rehabbing projects prefer thick OSB panels and stucko to lasting brick and that's what the new soulless McOffice buildings are. There's one in Canada where they don't even hide it.
>>22140112>Cover up the old iconic roof and rip out the play place and they're just little brick buildings.How was that different from the old McDicks restaurants? Covering half the remodel costs for a possible future sale seems moronic. Going with the earlier anon's post, thats like painting a car from a sporty yellow to a millenial grey assuming you're going to go bankrupt in 5-10 years in order to sell it quicker. It still makes no fucking sense to me.
>>22139820Real soul is dinner at home with your family.
>>22139820It's a property evaluation thing. Even if you don't want to sale the property it's some kind of way more beneficial for the company to make is evaluation high than to make is brand value high. This is retarded as I can't imagine this being net beneficial but it is what they do.
>>22139873>Not advertising your poison to children via playsets and clowns and bright colours is spiritually JewishBased Jews protecting our children.
What happened is people kept going even as the locations looked worse, the food got worse and also got more expensive. For all the talk about how great capitalism is, those dimwits that still go seem to behave in a way that suggest they don't understand the first thing about it.
>>22139820I never noticed these changes from the curbside pickup spot.
>>22139820>what happened to [insert literally any good thing that got taken away from us in the last few decades]corporate profit
>>22139820Both are ugly. Corpo shit serving sloo like mcdo never had soul to begin with. Try real food in real places.
>>22139820oh fuck off with this "soul" bullshit. everything changes unc. get over it.
>>22139820because the focus is not on having nasty disgusting mini disneylands that need to be cleaned and maintained. that the reason why mcdonalds was created in the first place and who it was trying to attract has changed.the same reason the mascots are going away. they were always a stupid idea. people don't see going to mcdonalds as a way to entertain their kids anymore. it's where you get food. so having a building that looks like a clown whore house is not what anyone wants anymore, and you are just trolling.
>>22140165the food has not changed. it is EXACTLY the same.
>>22139820the bottom one is better. I never like the top 2 at all.
>>22140150
>>22139854It's like I went through all these McD phases, I was a kid while it was colourful and so on, now I like grays and simplicityz and also I don't care about current children or manchildren, they can fuck off, I had my share of soulful MCD, I dont care about dumb zoomers
>>22139820Everything is morphing into a Saturnian hellscape
>>22140150Real soul is going down the slide into a ballpit that's been pissed in and vomiting up your coke and nuggies
>>22140130Because of inflation maybe? If painting the car tomorrow gets more expensive then doing it today still ends up seeming like the better option.It's also not just the car but the parking spot with it. I think companies like McDonald's have a lot more value in the land the building is on rather than the building itself. Renovating the buildings may even drive up the land value.
>>22141563>Because of inflation maybe? If painting the car tomorrow gets more expensive then doing it today still ends up seeming like the better option.Elaborate why they're trying to get ahead of inflation by remodeling today. You'll notice nobody paints their car today under the auspice that it'll be more expensive in the future. >Renovating the buildings may even drive up the land value.So they're willingly paying higher property taxes on tens of thousands of buildings, for what? The only thing I've ever heard is to have access to greater capital loans. This still doesn't make sense to me: so in an effort to have greater loan potentials they're taking out a loan to renovate buildings to be easier to sell in order to inflate the overall value marginally in order to take out another loan in the future? That sounds like taking out a loan to prepare to take out a loan. Again, extra steps for a massive multi billion dollar profit company.
>>22139820
>>22139820changing consumer habits
>>22139874>>22139941>>22140015EVERY single time retards will jump in with this shit yet NO ONE has ever actually seen it happen, McDonalds just stay McDonalds for ever. 20 IQ morons trying to sound like Wall St bigshots. NO retards! McDonalds is not spending billions to make their locations less attractive, less useable (they actually remove a lot of seating area with these remodels) for some sale that will never happen and you have NO idea how fucking investor reports work either so just shut the fuck up. They ARE in fact enacting the same agenda seen everywhere else, in every single business, every walk of life, in order to make the human environment more alienating and hostile and this has NOTHING to do with profit or THEY WOULD NOT BE DOING IT
>>22142409jesus just burn it all down
>>22142409This might actually be one of the worst images I've ever seen. Like, in my life.I have no joke or riff. Whoever is doing this should genuinely be ashamed.
>>22142794>this has NOTHING to do with profitabsolutely, all restaurants win a lot when you order food and sit there for an hour occupying the whole table instead of inhaling the food and fucking offit's all conspiracee
>>22142888>AshamedYou mean blood eagled.
>>22139820Ask them how often they sit down and eat inside a mcdonalds
>>22139820They started trying to appeal more to adults. McDonalds have mostly stripped away all the kiddy stuff in their marketing in general. Because no adult wants to go to a kiddy clown playground to go buy a burger or coffee. They've made it sterile and boring so office working drones choose McDonalds to eat at without feeling embarrassed by there being a playground and screaming kids everywhere.
>>22139820SOUL costs CENTS! How are the board supposed to finance their private islands if they aren't maximizing profits?
You guys remember that mcdonalds CEO "eating" a big arch burger and fucking it all up? Why did they even do that? Can't he just say "no" we're going to market this another way?
>>22139820What did they mean by this?
>>22139820>fanbase becomes more and more criminal based>aesthetic becomes more and mor criminal based to matchmakes sense
>>22139820>Americans think mcdicks is """"soul""""lel
>>22143375>Can't he just say "no"CEOs are highly paid wagies who report to the board of directors
>>22141138Your reply is incredibly based, and you are a selfish solipsistic prick.
>>22141138Zoomers are 30. They have kids now. I know millennial grandparents.
>>22140150Pedo
>>22139820Kids don't play anymore, they bury their faces in devices. A play place is a waste of money and poses an unnecessary risk of lawsuits if someone's obese crotchgoblin gets hurt.
>>22145688Look, as i said I don't really care about zoom zooms so Idk if they are 12 40 30 so kindly move along (faggot)
>>22145703It's a shame because you write like a child
>>22140112What are those black window things on the stalls
>>22145713How and where do I 'write like a child' you dumb monkey
>>22139820The world doesn't have to perpetuate YOUR stupid nostalgia in lieu of modernization. Fuck that colorful kids shit. They know their core customer base is just grown up lardos who grew up on that food when it was actually cheap like it should be.
>>22139873>joosFuck off with your schizo ramblings. This isn't /pol/.
>>22141083No it isn't. More additives and chemicals are introduced all the time to save them money.
>>22142794>make the human environment more alienatingFucking schizo. Stay off the normal boards with your lunacy.
>>22139855>goyslop outlet less appealing>clearly it's da jooskys amerislopper
>>22145829It's about removing soul from th environment and making it as depressing and shit as possible. It's called terror culture you swine
Ur soul is going to hell coz god hates chuds
>>22139820>Goyslop got no color no more :cGood. Only soulless office drones should waste their money on such garbage, so the new asthestic works.
>builders make buildings easier to repurpose on the chance it changes hands>AAAAAHHHHHHH MUH JOOS MUH INTENTIONAL HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AAAAHHHHHHHHYou retards clearly have never worked on a new build in your lives. It’s literally the same reason new houses have the same handful of floorplans and modern white aesthetic. Less work/effort for the seller and contractors and nobody has to deal with all the decorative bullshit if/when the prior owner leaves.
Shut your mouth and eat the slop. Your happiness does not increase shareholder value. If anything, the unhappier you are, the more likely you are to gorge on slop. You should be obese and depressed, eating hamburgers and pills all day. You will never be truly happy so give up and have a little treat. A salty sweet deep fried treat.
>>22147684>AAAAAHHHHHHH MUH JOOS MUH INTENTIONAL HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AAAAHHHHHHHH>goes on to describe jewry in detailCrazy to think. Yes, we understand that they stripped away everything unique and interesting away in order to make their real estate investments more profitable, that is in fact the point of the claim.
>>22139820Indian sweatshops making AI generated nostalgia slop images to trick poor sad Americans...
>>22143904Only good post itt
>>22139946It doesn't, it's just some random bullshit someone made up a long time ago and 4chan picked up on it like the retards they are and keep saying it without ever giving it a single thought.When was the last time you saw a mcdonalds close? I can't think of a single time, all the ones that were around in my childhood are still there.
>>22139820Fuck that, whatever happened to goddamn burgundy metallic cars... I don't want our minivan to be "pRiMeR GrWy" ...bring back fucking colors....Old fart rant over, carry on...
>>22145698It's not the kids, it's their socially inept -mostly millennial- parents...
>>22140150anyone who disagrees with this post is young and foolish
>>22148327Yes it is jew adjacent behavior but it’s not some grand conspiracy that they want to make fast food chains sterile and depressing to keep you down it’s so (citing personal experience where I live) you don’t go into a burrito shop or drive by a tax office and immediately think “this was a Pizza Hut” from just the roof.
>>22148461I figured that was implied enough, but yes. Parents don't want to be parents.
1. This is done to reduce the cost of selling the land out when the location inevitably flops.2. Fast food has priced out large families who were the target audience for the colourful stuff before.
>>22148329>90s American cultue>it's nothing but sitting and eating food
>>221490121. No its not.2. Yes it has.
>>22139854Of all the things that work for mcDSoulless gray is one of themThe more color there is the more gross the grossest most ghetto mcdonalds lookAt least this way I feel clean while I eat my nuggies next to a vagrant
>>22149012>This is done to reduce the cost of selling the land out when the location inevitably flopsMcdonalds do not flop.
