My hometown had a cool old 50s-themed McDonalds, like with jukeboxes and an Elvis statue and poo poo. After I moved away, I was very bummed to hear that they sold the location to a new owner and immediately remodeled it to look like any old normal location.

Think this, but smaller and without the museum aspect of it.

You have suddenly sparked a memory for me of something like this. I think it was a 50s themed McDonalds? Did you grow up in southeastern VA?

Nope, northern Alabama. Seems like there's been a few locations like this...I just found a Tripadvisor page for a 50s-themed Mcdonalds in Wisconsin, as well as one in Williamsburg, VA.

My guess is that the owners thought "Let's have our location be more unique or have a gimmick" (a good idea IMO) and corporate eventually demanded that all locations look the exact same.

I actually saw a thing on it there were a lot of different gimmick MCDonalds out there but for various reasons they were all terrible health hazards that corporate basically had to end.

Look up their info on their corporate home page. Sometimes it’ll have a contacts page. Checked linkedin. Probably a bunch of ways you could go about it.

Get names from linked in then either guess the company email convention (first name.last name/first initial.last name @ corpname.com).

There's a few sites you can find by googling that will tell you or guess the convention for each company.

I'll tell ya what, escalating from an assistant store manager directly to the national director gets your complaint addressed p dang quickly!

Companies often have internal distribution lists. The naming convention will vary by company, but if you can guess the structure it will wreak havoc.

Anyone that’s ever worked for a large company and has witnessed a mass “please remove me” reply all thread can attest. It literally killed our Outlook servers a couple years back.

We have a guy who once per-quarter will send out a list of Oracle roles to a huge list of responsibility owners. We basically just have to review the list and send him back “this is fine”. It NEVER fails that at least 10 people on the list will “reply all” instead of just replying to the guy asking. It drives me insane.

The best is when people then "reply all" telling the first person not to "reply all."

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Those 10 people are probably wondering why the rest of the massive recipients didn’t bother to reply with a sign off.

Makes a good point, honestly. If you're allowing made up bullshit in place of medical treatment, how do you determine where to draw the line? Which kinds of dangerous pseudoscience are ok and why? And who gets to make that judgement? Obviously it can't be done on any kind of scientific or rational basis, so what are you going on?
