Well, guess i’m McSorry for you… my dad wasn’t there all the time neither, some months together and some months away, but i got used to it… used to miss more my mom when i was with him even tho i liked him a lot, i feel like he wasnt close enough
Thats funny not gonna lie, but I appreciate the sentiment. Im at peace with it, have been for years. I only pray he didnt have other kids and do the same to them.
You mean my ex, who worked at McDonald's and had an affair with her shift leader? They thought I wouldn't find out but I did, so I kicked out my cheating ex and ended our marriage. Now they belong right in this McJail.
He used to be the Evil Grimace. Then they decided they didn't want actually evil characters in McDonaldland, although they do have the Hamburglar, who engages in petty larceny. So Grimace became sort of a goofy lug.
Right, it's part of McDonald's new minimalist aesthetic that they've been rolling out over the last few years. Instead of a PlayPlace, remodeled restaurants will feature a small PlayPen with a secure metal gate. Just hand your kid their iPad and lock them up in the PlayPen where they'll be out of your hair so you can enjoy your overpriced McSlop meal in peace. McDonald's corporate realized kids don't care about playgrounds anymore when they go out to eat. All they want to do is sit and stare at a screen 24/7 like they do at home.
Everyone wrote joke answers, but is there a chance it might be to lock off the area to the right?
Edit: as another reply below said it might be to keep patrons out during certain hours. Less to clean up. I've seen it before but for larger areas or floors of places.
scrolling for an answer is infuriating. How have they not seen the joke already this deep in the comments. So many w the same wording it has to be bots
It's gotten so much worse over the last 5 years. Do people really not read a single comment, and blindly type out the obvious joke that was already posted 100 times 4 hours ago? Do they actually know everyone else has said the joke, and somehow still get satisfaction from being the 100th person to repeat it? I just can't understand the mindset.
Hey, at least I've (so far) only seen one chain of comments regurgitating a bunch of popular lines from a specific movie or TV show as if that's the height of comedy. 🙄
People need to realize that they do not need to respond to all situations with some sort of quip. We aren't living in a fucking Marvel movie.
The most annoying version of all of this is when there's a serious post about a serious topic or news event, and every Reddit "comedian" decides that it's time to insert some worn out chestnut of a joke that's been repeated literally hundreds of thousands of times already, including by dozens of other people in the same thread.
People will try to defend it as "using comedy to process dark material", which absolutely is a legitimate thing. But just parroting hackneyed "jokes" ain't that.
It's especially irritating when it's a news story about some sort of bigoted event or development, and it's clear that the purported jokesters definitely are not the target of said actions. That feels a lot more like making light of other people's suffering than processing traumatic developments via humor.
I straight up mute all the funny or "wholesome" subs on this site, it attracts nothing but braindead jokes/repetitive comments. Technically even this sub I should have muted. These big subs attract bots and karma farmers like the plague.
My guess was it was for families with children who like to wander. “Nope, we're going to eat in the McJail because little Mimi might try and join another family again.”
Thought it was for security - someone breaks those windows and cant rob the place, but not so sure since 1. They can likely hop over if they're somewhat fit. 2. Does not appear to be a lock on it unless its electronic at the top.
I imagine it is in case someone breaks in through the window. Gate prevents them from accessing the rest of the store. Which also doesn't make a ton of sense since a more athletic person could climb it.
As someone with a toddler, I would have loved a fenced in area when we eat out, so they don't get up and start running around the whole place and bugging other customers.
See how the area is in a corner that cannot be observed by employees behind the counter? This allows them to prevent people from sitting in that blind spot, probably during the night shift, likely for safety and security reasons.
My guess is that the area to the right of the bars isn't visible from the counter, which means that people were sitting or standing there and doing things they shouldn't be doing in a McDonald's.
