Regarding the new McD’s look, I was just in one a few weeks ago, brand new location, and it really was grim. Very much a dystopian look.

Very short counter with one register (no worker present), two ordering kiosks, a bench on one side, two small tables, and a shelving area for DoorDash pickup.

The lighting was that really uncomfortable 1970’s fluorescent stuff, but the weirdest thing was the lack of people. I was the only customer. No visible workers. I ordered and paid at the kiosk, put my number down on the table, went to use the restroom, and there was my food. I never saw another human the entire time I was there. Very surreal.

I ate without drinking anything because I usually ask for a cup of water from the counter, but no one was there and it wasn’t open to the kitchen area.

I somehow don't think that will happen - but I agree; a restaurant that looks like a prison kitchen might not be the right approach!
I don't know - they have shut down a heap in Europe over the years ..........
