Eventually the food will be so low quality that young people will get sick from it instead of getting addicted. Currently it seems that you have to be about 25-30 before you both hate the taste and feel like shit after. Some people that age can tolerate it because they eat it regularly. If they keep making it worse, 16-20 year olds will reject it and they won't get their cohort of addicts that keep eating it as an adult.
A mix of either these two, or the whole concept of "grabbing a hot, calorie dense, fat-oils-sugar combination from a vehicle on the road" stops becoming economically viable or simply appealing to most people.
It's basically a glorified food-stall with a space for socializing at this point.
What happened? Why did the fast food places stop trying to be kid-friendly? Was it a morale choice, not to feed kids unhealthy food? They're depressing to look at now even as an adult
If you want me to spitball an answer, I'd say it's a consequence of cyclical growth and optimization in the commercialization in several industries that displays symptoms particularly in fast food franchises. The blanderization of buildings for easy repurposing is commonly brought up here, but even stuff like sourcing raw ingredients, proprietary processing, logistics, labor pool, etc. all contribute to varying degrees in varying places.
The loss of being kid-friendly comes with kids no longer being the primary demographic over people in general, and was slowly optimized out.
Makes sense, if you want the option of shutting down and selling the property to another fast food place, you want it to be as generic as possible. And vice versa, if you want to buy places to expand your chain, you want renovations to be as cheap as possible. Seems like after the 'great recession' all of these businesses got on the same page. Like everyone was planning for failure, be that their own or someone else's. A race to the bottom where everyone tries to climb to a top that continues to get lower and lower.

For crime or homeless that they wouldn't want to deal with while still having a worthwhile reason to be in the area, they can just be drive-thru only, no? Was commonplace in 2020-2021, with some places never returning to former hours for indoor especially.
There's something about anons that makes them never guess that "nobody at corporate with the choice cared strongly enough about the thing I'm nostalgic of to maintain it, and it was never my choice individually" , but I really don't think the reason is deeper than that.
There's nothing iconic or even recognizable about it. It is incredibly generic and bland, you can copy and paste any business logo over it and it would look the same.
I'd also bet it has something to do with most 18-36 year olds being childless asexual losers. No need to have ball pits, fun menu items, and silly decor if your main clientele is 28 year old man/womanchildren who grew up eating nuggies and now just get a sandwich and coffee like habit.

can you just sacrifice your adrenochrome for chad already or whatever you animal weird fuck nobody has sex including you even if they did its gay

They tried in the 90s and 2000s and it failed miserably lol. The self-righteous hoopla of being anti-fastfood fell flat on its face when it came to regulatory bodies.
>McDonald's drive thru is always full where I live.
that doesn't mean theyre doing $26 orders. i worked at one for a year and most orders were quite small, like 2 mcdoubles or something
probably still true that he (and many others) became poor without knowing it
Bold of you to assume I haven't noticed that I got poor. I'm fucking struggling even though I'm working my ass off. But when people were poor pre-2010 they could always afford to get something at McDonald's. Now? There's nothing under like $3 or $4.
Eating at McDonalds is a lifestyle for people. No matter how bad things get there will always be millions of people who'll keep eating there because it's just all they know. They've reached the "too big to fail" status and unless someone gets put in charge that pretty much intentionally wants to kill the company they're never going to make a mistake big enough to make it happen.

McDonald's is not in the food business. Hasn't been since the late 1960s. It's profit center is in commercial real-estate business and restaurant is a distant second.
Basically mcdicks dies when the franchises are no longer profitable or the franchisees find a a more profitable and successful alternative. Like how Subway oversaturated their business with franchisees and let their shit product die.
Retard moment. >It's profit center is in commercial real-estate business and restaurant is a distant second.
That real estate has value because of the McDonald's name and food bringing that value. They might make their money from real estate but they're only able to do it because of the food.

It’s all just to keep the homeless away

they're going out of business fine on their own
i'd say that bad food would do it, but subway and burger king are still around
Good point. Not even pedo jared and "no tuna DNA detected" tuna scandals stopped Subway. The wicked clown has even greater power.
Tuna don't have DNA. They're plants

Their new insane prices, hopefully. Shit needs to come back down to reality. I'm not paying $26 for 2 double quarter pounder meals.
>I'm not paying $26 for 2 double quarter pounder meals.
You became poor without realizing it.

Knowledge and common sense.
I, uh - I wouldn't fuck with the Golden Arches, anon. You might end up in one of the burgers.
Yeah they're always putting crap in your stuff.
No. Even if the planet gets nuked the cockroaches will rebuild the McDonalds.

Well you got your money back what's the problem?
Didn't get to gorge myself on slop.
Damn thats sad, today is another day anon maybe try again
You pestered your neighbors at 3am asking if they had stolen your food? And didn’t get cops called/punched in the face/shot?
No, I looked on their front porches to see if the food had been delivered there instead.
Well I didn't wake them up last night, as I said here:
But tonight, the dasher decided to show up playing Indian music as loud as he could over the radio/his phone, so they probably got woken up tonight.
WHY CANT THEY MAKE AMERICAN MCDONALDS AS DIVERSE AND VARIED AS INTERNATIONAL MCDONALDS

Oh here's evidence.
So to answer OP:
Basically mcdicks dies when the franchises are no longer profitable or the franchisees find a a more profitable and successful alternative. Like how Subway oversaturated their business with franchisees and let their shit product die.

You could always just ignore them.

Men growing beards has been devastating for McDonald's breakfast business.
