I'm guessing it's for more efficient cleaning. Bummer.
They don’t want you to spend time in the restaurant. Less and less McDonalds PlayCenters are surviving. The seats in the restaurant purposely get uncomfortable after 20 minutes of sitting. Harsh lighting. Drab surfaces. They want you to get your food and go. Even better if you use the drive thru or mobile app. Any modern fast food restaurant like McDonald’s, but especially Starbucks, does not want to be your “third place”.
That doesn't mean it has to be eye searing white, imagine if they went with gray granite-like surfaces instead, that would be so much mre pleasant.
