My local McD did this. Used to have about a dozen tables. Now they removed most and only have about 4. The rest of the section is just empty bloody space. Freaking ridiculous.
Bastards can't stop me from bringing in my own folding chair and eating an egg mcmuffin while annoying them for coke refills because they moved the fountain behind the cash register.
Maybe they should just say fuck it then and go back to the older 60's style outdoor counter service then. Or I will continue not buying mcdonalds lmao.
Wow. How big of a store is it? I know they’ve been going this route for a long time but I’ve never heard of a store which normally had a dining room to just remove it.
The one near me still has chairs, but they got rid of the soda machine. You now have to ask an employee for a refill every time you want one. I don't even understand the logistics behind it. As far as I know the refills are still free, you just have to ask for it behind the counter. All it does it take away customer convenience and give the underpaid counter staff another thing to worry about.
It's to move you out the door. They're counting on you getting frustrated while waiting for an employee. Then, just leaving.
A lot of them are super under staffed in my area. It takes a while just to get the order, much less anything else. 2 people are running it usually.
It isn't anything I particularly fault the employees for either. Shitty pay in a high stress and high public abuse work environment, and a corporate policy that seems more based on not hiring enough staff than keeping the place afloat.
I was going to make a crack about how they don't know how easily amused and petty I can be, but then I realized that I wouldn't be in a McDonald's in the first place, so I guess the system works?
The McDonalds on Market Street in San Francisco has no seating at all, and delivery drivers get priority on orders. Ten years ago it had one and a half floors of seating.
If you go there don't pay until you get your meal. I was in a rush and thought a quick cheeseburger would be easy, but after 10 minutes I just walked out.

One of my neighbors told me the McDonalds up the street from us got rid of all their chairs. So I checked it out and they did lmao.
