So, I'm reading an MSN article on McDonald's and how they're trying to establish it as a coffee place where people will go and hang out. Here's the part that unnerved me:
It's all part of a company strategy to turn McDonald's from a grab-and-go fast-food chain into an order-and-stay restaurant where customers can surf the Internet and linger over coffee.
Linger? Order and stay? When you're in a McDonald's, the best thing about the place is getting out of that depressing, life-sucking vacuum and moving to a place where you don't feel like your face wants to die with each hellish breath.
Seriously, do I want to stay with a bunch of crying kids, complaining because they didn't get the "good" toy in their Happy Meal, while their mom is on the cell phone, yelling at their dad because the kids are crying, all the while, some hippo in a Phish tank top is pounding down his 8th Big Mac of the day and pulling a stare and creep at the crying kids?
Yeah, that's the place I want to "linger" at? Christ...while they're at it, they may want to go to the Potalet cmpany and suggest they put Yankee Candles in every Porta-potty, so people might dillydally in there and soak up the ambiance...
