I went to McDonald's for lunch yesterday and saw a girl walking around with free samples. Well, not really walking around. Mostly all the poor, grubby customers were coming to her. I think she had a tray of bite-sized hamburger cut in wedges.
She was just sort of standing there with a dazed look on her face.
This McDonald's was beautiful. It had fire places and couches and bar stools and inset televisions. It had a patio with heat lamps and a giant fireplace.
What has happened to McDonald's? What happened to the bright orange walls and the sticky, plastic booths, and the overflowing garbages, and the freaking garish paintings of Hamblurger.
That's the thing with McDonald's now. It's trying so hard to be an upscale place, but they've neglected to change the little things. They have leather couches, but you sill walk around carrying a plastic tray.
They have fireplaces and jazzy music, and you still stand in line with fellow slobs, while a bunch of teenagers yell at each other behind the counter.
Very strange. You think you're at the Keg or Starbucks for a second, then you glimpse a long cheeseburger streak along the polished marble floor.
