Cause theres such thing as time

Who cares about the outside? The upgrades to the insides of the new models are what is nice.

>>14579800
both of those taco bells are current designs

>>14579800
This has been asked and answered before. Generic building designs are preferred so the property can house a different business other than fast food if the restaurant goes belly up

Because millenials are afraid of complicated shapes

>>14579808
>living at mcdonalds
Do americans really

>>14579800
modern architecture is designed in a way where nothing should be distinguishable by shape or color alone. This forces the customer to look at the sign / look for a sign. This helps build familiarity with the brand / name compared to the old way of having recognizable buildings.

>>14579800

It's much cheaper than a colorful custom building. It's all the same generic building stuff for modern condos.

>>14580045

That's the exact opposite of what people do. You don't look for a Walmart by the logo. It's a beige build with a blue top. Costco has stripes. McDonald's has the drive thru signs that still keep the original colors.

I like the right cause it has a much more cleaner and premium look.

>>14579800
Looks cleaner and less cheap

what do you mean your mcdonalds doesn't have an indoor playground??

>>14579800
It’s crazy how they went from all looking alike, too still all looking alike.

>>14579808
>this isn’t our home anymore
Speak for yourself

>>14579800
all are improvements except taco bell
seriously old wendys are fucking hideous and werid

Liberalism, post modernism.

>>14580730
oh no no no no, oh-o NO NO NO NO

>>14579864
This and there is less likely to be any "not in my back yard" opposition to a development if the design uses stone cladding instead of bright red paint.

>>14580730
It works??

>>14580082
It's a fast food restaurant. They never were your friend.

>>14581702
you're just a chat bot

>AAAAH ME NEED BIG BRIGHT COLORS ME BIG BABY MANCHILD THAT NEVER GREW PAST TEN GRRRRRR MODERN DESIGN HURT BRAIN AND MAKE ANGRY

>>14579800
Think the wendy's here got revamped but kept its original colors. the Mcdonalds after YEARS looking like 2nd pic finaly got revamped to the right. I think ive seen both versions of tacobell. and never bothered to go to a burger king in eons so, got no idea how they look now.

>>14580730
>Let's put a pizza hut in the middle of residential neighborhood
I always wonder how shit like this happens.

>>14579800
>implying that's what a retro Taco Bell looked like
I remember when Taco Bell was an adobe structure with a tile roof.

Imagine caring about the exterior design of a fast food chain. Civilization is dying and this is what bothers you?

>>14580378
The true answer.

>>14581923
> Civilization is dying and this is what bothers you
It's all part of the same process. The international corporatists must be met with a concerted resistance on every front at once. If you give ground to them on even seemingly insignificant things, they'll win in the end.

>>14581942
Fast food is literally the slop of international corporatism, and always has been.

NEVER FORGET

>>14580730
clearly a renovation of a 70's one-story ranch by adding a second story

not a pizza hut

>>14580555
does no one else see these trips of truth?
I do miss the old Wendy's design though.

>>14579800
your table at Chez Taco Bellissimo is ready Sir

>>14581920
This is based

>>14579874
Pff lol

>>14579800
Probably cheaper that way. Wendy's doesn't seem that much different though.

>>14579800
It's kind of funny how fast food restaurants are like android os versions.

>>14581920
One in southern New Jersey still looks like this

>>14582257
The one in Woodbury on 45? Is it still operating?

>>14579864
Yeah, except they went through the trouble to remodel 99% of existing fast food restaurants (which have been at the same location for decades) into these cookie cutter clones.

Lots of Taco Bell's still look like the left.

>>14581940
I mean the soul vs souless shit is retarded, but the generic utilitarian buildings that are being built everywhere are in fact soulless, often look out of place, and will age poorly.

>>14581940
Change not bad, bad change bad

>>14580175

>t. Gorbachev

Were Burger King's in America all 50s Diner themed? In NZ all our Burger King's were. Had the black and white check floor, booths with Ruby red back padding, stainless steel stools with Ruby red seats, big jukeboxes.

>>14581920
That's what i remember from childhood. Miss that design. I think they switched over to the "old" design from OP right around 2000

>>14579800
it's cheap to build and maintain. also materials and design are "environmentally friendly"/ energy efficient.

>>14581969
They actually rebuilt the top McDonald's recently, it feels like yesterday they remodeled it.

>>14579864
A solution to a problem that didn’t exist. Family businesses and local chains were happy to move into abandoned KFCs. This is so they can sell them Starbuck’s over the phone without ever speaking to a realtor.

90s Taco Bell was literally vaporwave in real life

>>14584100
>two chairs

>>14579800
Blame chipotle. Fast casual is the new fast food.

>>14579800
that's not even a classic taco bell

>>14581063
STOP CHANGING WHAT MAKES ME FEEL COMFORTABLE

These threads are so lame, why do you all care about fast food? It’s awful for you and the money you spend on eating it could be put towards real ingredients for an actual meal.

>>14581659
And yet their sign still has the now-obsolete hut rooftop

>>14584541
That is a good observation. They are trying to make a connection to their past. When they were actually serious about making you a delicious pizza.

Yours looks much classier.
Still wouldn't eat fast food if you paid me.

>>14580415
>lists only huge department stores you can easily tell by their fucking gihugic parking lots alone
this is just the natural result of economics though. At some point advertising and novelty will give way to resell value of a plot of land. If you still eat at mcdonalds for any reason you're a fool.

>>14583678
your NZ franchise is probably owned by someone who completely manages them differently. We have lots of chains like these though, Burgerville, johnny rockets. etc.

>>14584520
Exactly. Fucking stop

>>14583678
Nearly all the McDonald's in my area had a 50s theme to it, with each location centered around a different sport. It was really fucking cool, shame on corporate for not allowing franchisees take liberties with their restaurants.

Globohomo
It's like that disgusting bauhaus art that Google and Facebook use.

Anybody else stop going to McDonald's because the menu got so large it got really confusing?

>>14586675
these drive-thru layouts are so fucking confusing

>>14586675
>>14586695
I don't go to Sonic for that reason. I don't have a problem with McDonald's though because I always get the same thing. Two Big Macs, no pickle, 1 large diet coke.

Did you guys have a playplace growing up, or the indoor gamecenter with all the gamecubes/n64s?

I miss the gaudy 70's tile and planter sometimes of the BK restaurant in my childhood neighborhood.

>>14586794
Yeah. I used to go with my mom and play some dirtbike game on the Gamecube when I could.

>>14586735
yeah you fuckin' will

>>14586725
>I always get the same thing. Two Big Macs
Big Macs used to look like this in the 70's and they were delicious. So were the fries, they were fried in beef tallow not vegetable oil. And the milk shake machine didn't brake

>>14586836
Did the milkshake machine just step on the gas?

>>14586859
It just kept pumping out milkshake

Modern Modernism is, unironically, without a doubt, the purest form of cancer!, its done by retarded diaper shitting mentally stunned manbabies who never grew up, and think they utopian views can be achieve and see themselves and their methods as virtous.

They all look the same on either column.

The "Le Grey Scale" brick wall facade.

>>14586806
there was a dairy queen in my rural hometown that looked exactly like this

>>14579800
(((I know why...)))

The truth is the old looks better and more soulful but it's because of nostalgia, we associate it with better times

>>14588686
100% wrong. Back to your tiny boxed apartment life, turd.

>>14588706
It's 100 percent true, because in 20 years when they change to yet another new aesthetic, the ten year olds of today will be nostalgic for these new renovations as they become the old.

It happens every generation, when you imagine the rainy thunderlit night and the local gargoyle perched on top of the Wendy's roof it takes you back to thrilling youthful nights, but your parents feel nothing about the then modern things you loved because it was not what they loved

>>14588706
It is nostagia. In 10 years you'll see the love for the new designs.

>>14588730
>claims being against the deliberate eradication of traditional aesthetics in fast food places is simply nostalgia

Ok retard. Why don't you shill for the days of Taco Bell being designed after an Aztec temple? Oh I know, because it wasn't around when you were a child, and only your childhood matters. Grow up average millennial narcissist, go cry over your Pokemon cards

You know there's pickle in the sauce right

It looks much nicer than before. This is a McDonalds in Sedona, AZ. The color is to match the surrounding rocks that the city is well known for. FAR more professional looking that the previous shitty kids design.

>>14589936
Yes, that's fine, but I don't like the pickle slices

>>14588730
What a weird system for ordering they had! You stood in a different line for whatever item you wanted to order. That lady was in the Enchirito line. She clearly has an Enchirito there.

>>14589952
The rocks are red and copper is our state's main export besides fentanyl from mexico. The color is patina copper. Sedona did that so as not to be too OVERTLY corporatized

>>14589145
top right is the one close to the resorts on Disney property.

Really hate the corporate asskisser logic of "ITS JUST NOSTALGIA BRAH, IN 10 YEARS KIDS WILL BE SAD ABOUT STUFF NOW!" when there really was a difference between interesting shapes, colors, atmosphere, and even how the employees acted pre 9/11. Satisfaction with bland square buildings that are practically made to be taken over by other generic businesses if the original one goes belly-up is the most status-quo whiny bitch attitude ever.

>>14586725
I'll have one breakfast, a combos and to drink I'll have a frozen zone

you're walking into a mcdonalds, any peers you supposedly have either don't give a shit or already look down on you. going by your attitude, they look down on you for a lot of reasons outside of how a hamburger joint looks.

I love little towns that do this. Make the corporate shit "fit in" to the town aesthetic.
More places should do this.

The old Burger King, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell, and one of the McDonald's in my town have all been CUBE'd within the last decade. The other McDonald's at the shit-ass end of town on the other side of the freeway is still 90s as fuck, along with the Wendy's and Taco Time there.

The old look of fast food interiors, with that disgusting brown tile and stark weird colors, was fucking depressing. Always. Now the idea is to make them look a little warmer and more comfortable, as well as more upscale, to try to make you forget that you’re eating at a corporate slophouse.

>>14579800

>>14593607
911 was the jews, so...

These architectural choices are deliberate. They have been a consistent theme for the past several decades. The goal is to turn everything into an undifferentiated mess of steel, concrete, and glass cubes so that everywhere looks the same and no matter where you run you face these same monoliths. This doesn't just happen to fast food joints, it happens to literally everything. It's a form of ritual humiliation. The cubes of Saturn will be everywhere, there is no escape. They do it partly BECAUSE it pisses you off. Because it crushes your spirit. They seek to deprive your life of any beauty. They sell it as sleek, but really what they're doing is removing any and all ornamentation. Because ornamentation is designed to uplift your spirit and is thus antithetical to their goals. You'll resist less if your spirit is crushed.

I can tell that all of these buildings are located in arid shitholes where no one has to worry about water piling on the roof and causing damage.

Modern box design is so fucking depressing, and that's probably the purpose.

It is absolutely the purpose. If you're surrounded by beauty and artistic monuments, you're likely to develop some kind of local pride and identity. They can't have that. They want everywhere to be the same. They want everyone mushed together into an undifferentiated mass of humanity - with them different and at the top. If there is an uplifting example of old architecture in an area they're targeting they will attempt to acquire it and tear it down. Or they'll attempt to burn it down (example: European cathedral arson). Or, maybe they'll just surround that building with taller, ugly cube type buildings. It's not just on purpose, this is a sustained deliberate campaign of oppression.

its cheaper to build square instead of triangles

this is a business, not a restaurant

The real real real answer is that its just a modern looking building which evokes cleanliness and non-shittiness. In two decades they will change it to another design.

Eat bugs. Live in a pod. No more meat. Consume impossible product. Travel from cubic building #1039729 to cubic building #592739. Everything is so modern. Look how clean all these flat, featureless surfaces are. Colors and shapes that aren't black and cubic are so last millennium. Natural foods are so out of fashion, we only eat heavily processed pseudofood product now because we're modern. Cubes are cheaper. Bugs are cheaper. Pods are cheaper. It's not bland, featureless, monotonous, and boring - it's sleek. And it's cheaper and modern.

You're missing the point entirely. Simplifying everything into easily digestible morsels is the stuff of fools. If something changes in your own life, do you ignore the reason why? If you begin dressing differently, if you don a new haircut, if you find yourself in the company of new friends... do you ignore the fact that something prompted these changes? Can you really say "well I guess things just change over time and that's just how it goes"? If you honestly answer yes, then I can safely say you are ignorant to the world around you and lack a basic sense of agency. Every sentient person can trace the changes over their life in a very cause and effect manner.

The same can be said about the world evolving around you. What prompts these changes in architecture? The brutalist architecture movement originally began in the 1950's as an attack on earlier forms of architecture. Its entire purpose was to destroy traditional aesthetics - still true at its core to this day. To ignore its origins and attribute the changes to a wane in nostalgia, one must either be a true, unthinking NPC or an untrustworthy liar knowingly spreading disinformation.

Oh yeah old mcdonalds is so uplifting you idiot

Mcdonalds in my area look nothing like this. Today they basically use an AI to decide what to display on the menu based off what is trending at that specific McDonalds.

It is hard to find images of a non cropped version of the menu online but pic related is basically what it looks like. They still serve the full menu, but if you want an item that no one else is ordering, chances are that it'll be hidden. This is why I typically check the menu on the website before I go to order.

I went to a Taco Bell that still looked like this in around 2012. Also the BK in my hometown still looks something like this
