Now every McDonalds is just mass chaos, with people queuing for an eternity and gangs of delivery drivers everywhere.

@oddities-whatnot Жыл бұрын

Society is chaos these days, its filled with selfish arrogant super important people who have no time or respect for anyone else, yet happy to show off their lives on social media to anyone who they think is interested. Usually drive a BMW or a Ford Ranger. Says it all.

Not to mention the antisocial behaviour by mainly teenagers that it attracts sometimes. Some restaurants have even had to resort to hiring security guards because of this.

You know what? Would love to see the old decor return. I know times change and each decade has a distinct look/colour palette (think browns/beiges in the 70s, electric pink/blues in the 80s, vibrant colours in the 90s) but would love a return to how things used to look.

First McDonalds in the UK is in Woolwich, South London. It used to be my local Mc Donalds, extremely unexceptional and you wouldn't know if it wasn't for a very small plaque on the stairs. It's still open. Woolwich is a terrible place and i hated living there.
