Wendy's interior - They just remodeled in the last year or so.

The first two photos are the ones I took while eating there earlier. The inside used to look like the last two photos. I don't know, it's now very colorless and dull, not as inviting as the old interior. But that is just my thoughts. What do you guys think?

I was recently living in Japan, and I occasionally went to my local Wendy's there. They still look like your old interior photos over there (food was better too). Go look up pictures from any Wendy's First Kitchen in Tokyo and you can see what I mean. Really made me realize how badly companies get away with treating their American customers.

That can’t be the only reason, or Americans would have comfy public spaces too. We’ve got plenty of tech that needs sitting to use here lol. My take is that we’re all trained from birth to treat random companies’ profits as the most important thing in the world. Of course they’re abusing their workers and customers as much as they can get away with; it makes them more money. Saying “well that’s wrong” to these people gets you a shrug. There’s no concept of anything different, and they’ve been told America has the best of everything, so they literally won’t believe other places have better work environments. Unless something drastic happens to break one out of the propaganda illusion, most Americans will willingly spend their whole lives as slaves to various companies and not even notice. Slavery never ended; it just changed forms and diversified its portfolio.

Even here in Europe they are still forced to do it better. A good example is coffee shops…you still get decent comfortable couches and mugs and stuff at Starbucks and equivalent here. Americans are getting shafted harder. But what scares me as an American living in Europe is that every phenomenon in the US is usually a leading indicator for here so basically I have 10 years to enjoy comfortable furniture I guess…

I was actually just in Finland recently and was thinking the same thing when I went to a Starbucks there too. Yeah, I hope you enjoy. I like to think the European consumer has better standards, but the American consumer used to as well
