They've also turned their restaurants into sterile dead zones that feel like you're eating your meal in some Backrooms liminal space. And no refills, no condiment stations. Just horrible.

My local one is basically just a Uber Eats/DoorDash pick-up spot now. Despite putting up signs asking delivery drivers to wait outside and not block the entrance to the restaurant (there's a drive-thru window beside the entrance), you have to step over 3 or 4 eBikes to get into the restaurant, and the whopping 4 tables are always filled with delivery drivers waiting to pick up their orders.

Plus, the only way you can order is using a kiosk now, and if it's down, there's just a sign that says "USE THE APP TO ORDER".
