For a stretch one of my kids had sports practice across town first thing in the morning once a week, so I'd take him and drop him off and go to the McDonald's across the street and get a little bit of egg and sausage and a cup of black coffee and read a book. It was empty. It was always empty. I thought back to when I was a kid and when I'd have to push aside the small golden tin ashtrays to the edge of the table and the place was always bustling, with styrofoam cups this time and with brown floors, and how old men in gray sweaters with holes in the sleeves and gray whiskers and WWII veteran caps would lounge about for hours, scraps of paper beside them and maybe a Bible, chatting with each other. How mom would bring in two toddlers and a baby in a stroller and they'd get Happy Meals and the toddlers would race the cartoonish cars along the tabletops. How it was a social place to be present. Now, I sat alone for an hour, with my cup of coffee, sipping, reading, occasionally looking at the old man on his 6:30 am routine of mopping the now-pristine floors of the soulless postmodern remodel, how occasionally the door would open and close as someone would pop in to pick up a meal, how there was no longer any ring of a cash register, and no longer even a human being to take your order, just large glowing panels you'd silently watch and touch and touch and watch. But I came every week anyway, and I drank and I read and I remembered.

My local McDonald’s had a play place that was always packed with kids but they tore it down to make room for a second drive thru lane.

cr, my local McD's got an "update" and now it's like a giant walk-in vending machine. No cashier, all employees in the back, and you only interact with them through the shelf where they put your order.
I'm often the only non delivery driver there.
3 small tables in the front, the rest is just a waiting lobby.
