CosMc's: A Lonely, Gray Spinoff Actively Colonized by Corporations

TL;DR Summary
CosMc's, a McDonald's spinoff focused on customizable drinks and snacks, has opened its first location in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The drive-thru-only pilot project offers intergalactic-themed food and beverages, but early reviews suggest lackluster flavors and a chaotic customer experience. With long wait times, confusing menu items, and limited human interaction, CosMc's falls short compared to its neighboring McDonald's restaurant. The four-lane drive-thru setup and inadequate facilities have also posed challenges. While some issues may be resolved, the pilot program's future remains uncertain.
