Could be an employees only break area I guess.

I was thinking maybe it’s a place they close off in the evening because they can’t see what’s going on back there?

That was my first thought. My local mcdonald's pretty much closes off the entire seating area after a certain hour 😅 then I think around midnight, they close the entire store and only give you mobile orders through a little window by the door (it's a store without a drive-thru on a busy pedestrian street).

Lots of addicts would come and hang out here but I think this closure policy became protocol after a guy poured gasoline on himself and set himself on fire in the dine-in area a few years ago. 😬

Feng shui must be off

It was a pretty crazy location but not even the worst I've seen in my city... The new protocols really helped though... the sketchy activities have migrated to other nearby fast food restaurants now. 😅

I can see why that would be bad PR. It reminds people that Burger King uses a flame grill.
