McDonalds Free Wi-Fi Users Soak Up Seating

bfire writes "McDonalds has earmarked potential changes to seating plans in some restaurants to prevent free Wi-Fi users from monopolizing seating, particularly in peak periods. The availability of Wi-Fi means people are now spending 35 minutes in McDonalds — rather than the average ten minutes that patrons used to spend eating there. But it appears not everyone is happy with the increased 'stickiness' of customers, with some licensees in Australia reporting that Wi-Fi users aren't turning over seats fast enough. The restaurant chain is considering options including space demarcation to deal with the problem."

Your post is appeciated.
Before the PATRIOT Act is repealed, they should use it to prosecute McDonald's, because they've killed more Americans in the last hundred years than all terrorist organizations combined.
It should be so easy to eat healthy that you can't escape it. Instead... we get the exact opposite.

Beyond Simple, just apply common sense!

Then stay at McDonald's....with your offspring.
Not all of us want subjected to that shite.
(I cannot be more sympathetic, diplomatic, or politically correct than that)

Why should I be subjected, without choice, in a public place to the detriments, and discourtesy of your offspring and your lack of parenting skills?

The 'cliche' of "children should be seen, not heard" has good merit, IMO.

Your 'kids' may be 'darlings' to you, but they are not 'darlings' to me, and many like me.
I got a vasectomy for a reason.
Your brats do not supersede that, whatever you may think.

Do the world a favor and teach your kid[and yourself] some manners, and the concept of respect... If your parents did that for you, then this conversation wouldn't even be happening.
