It’s more that the realities of late capitalism required them to just be as streamlined and efficient as possible. Kids don’t have money, teens do, and teens don’t like kid stuff
kids dont have money but they’re a massive advertising block. advertisers like targeting kids because then it manipulates their parents into feeling pressured to buy things when the kid asks. mcdonalds used to look that way so kids would beg their parents to take them, so i’m wondering why trying to target teenagers is the new strategy
tho i personally as a teenager would have rather been in the kiddy mcdonalds so i can feel like an adult in there by comparison. corporate mcdonalds is uncomfortable to be in even as an adult
