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."
Because we all know they are just sitting there waiting to get first post.
Oh wait...
I lost me sig.
And they employ sock puppets to promote their company on slashdot, too!

I only ever sat there for 10 minutes because that's all it took for the diarrhea to activate after eating that addictive crap. Sitting any longer and the chairs would be a different color.

They don't want sticky customers. The signs in the bathrooms require that employees wash hands. But you know, the last time I was there, no employee would wash my hands... I wanted to complain but people made me leave.
...followed by "Stroke"...
I hate being bipolar; it's awesome!
I've read over your post four times now and I still have no idea what your point is.
Something about hot dogs? Now I'm all hungry again after dinner, thanks.

I thought compact fluorescent lamps ran comparatively cooler than incandescent.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Or make the wifi users eat McDonalds food. That'll kill them off quickly, freeing up all those valuable seats.

For extra fun, send messages to Starbucks in your MAC.
Surely you mean Big MAC addresses?

They could simply stop sending the client webpages and start sending "Your time is up, thank you for eating at McDonald's! =D" pages after 15 minutes.
Well then.. what do you call a Quarter pounder in Chile?
McRoyale with cheese, motherfucker?
I got a vasectomy for a reason.
In your case, wouldn't that be like winterizing a home in Florida?

Food, wi-fi, AND a puppet show? Man, I am never leaving this place!
