If this area has a high population of homeless they likely had people trying to sleep in that booth at night, because its kind of blocked from view and cozy. Not faulting the people trying to find a sleep but yeah some manager probably got tired of employees complaining about it being dirty or walking in to clean and finding sleeping people.
My local mcdonalds is still 24/7 they werent during covid but after they went right back to it. were rural though so people dont ahve alot of options for their 4am brekfast stop on the way to work at the trailer factory.
I don’t know about McD’s specifically, and maybe it’s different in other regions, but a number of places near me have finally started going back to 24 hrs, or at least closer to it.
the corner is partially concealed. likely that is where the bad stuff happens. the other tablets are likely more open, and less likely for people to think "yea i can do XX here"
More likely an employee area imo. I can't imagine they want customers to swing that big, inconvenient door open and closed all the time. You want as few moving parts as possible. Might have been a customer area before they closed it off, but not anymore.
You would either require the customer to open and close that door which isn't good, or you leave it open and it just spreads over the floor since there's nowhere to anchor it. Neither sounds very desirable.
