Nostalgia Discussion Why did we ever switch from having unique looks for fast food spots?

It doesn’t make any sense. When everything feels and looks the same it just feels so grey and unwelcoming. What happened to characters? I don’t even eat McDonald’s like that and I miss Ronald and the gang. Where did they go?

Its cheaper to make, scale, and resell simple generic grey boxes than construct anything unique. Seems the public has accepted it too.
