“You are in McDonald’s. Consume and exit.”
No kidding. Not just them either. I know it’s a cultural thing in US restaurants, but I feel like I’m being rushed out the door. I know on the surface it’s a having respect for a person’s time thing, but it feels like an eating contest sometimes.
depends how they do it. Nothing says “we’re a legit chinese restaurant” more than getting the “fuck off oranges” when you’re done.
Hahah the fuck off oranges. I’ll never see them differently now. 😂
When I talk about how much I miss the 90s McDonalds, I’m mostly complaining about the loss of a third space. My parents would go to McDonalds so we had a safe, climate-controlled, indoor play space, and we could spend hours there for the price of something off the dollar menu.
I don’t know of anywhere comparable these days. Anything indoors is going to be expensive, you have to get the city to unlock the local hoops, the cops start asking questions if you just want to hang out with friends, and if you have too many friends they make you get a permit to use the public park.
Library? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don’t fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don’t have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though
Some do. My library has a play area set up for littles and another area set up for infants. On Saturdays they have a sing along story hour thing, and other events like that throughout the week. We also have plenty of local parks with playground equipment. No free place with indoor slides and ball pits though like McDonald’s used to have.
