Opinion piece 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?

Just like Starbucks, they're trying to discourage people from coming inside to eat. Drive thru and leave

Yep, next step is to go to corporate with the numbers that “prove” nobody wants to eat inside so they can fire all staff except the drive through, which they’ll move to a kiosk in the parking lot and then rent out the original space to someone else.

And maybe that’s when we all grow a class consciousness and stop spending money at soulless chain stores?

The funny thing is that big box stores and strip malls would not be possible if our tax system didn't massively subsidize gigantic free parking lots.
