No doubt mega queues . Many are located in retail car parks

McD's being the favourite haunt of MET, UKPC and CEL ..... what will they do, they are parking operators and not queue management ?,  

It will be fun in a few months time for a judge to determine ..

    To go to a drive through or have a proper meal, that will be the question!  The ones that I have seen near here (two within a few miles of each other) have had people policing the entrances so that cars can only enter the "drive through" section when it is clear, anybody else has been waved on.

    Yes, we cannot stop people killing themselves with junk food.
    I suppose if they are waved on, they will join the queue at the back

    McDonald's do deliveries as well now, primarily through Uber Eats (I think they also work with Deliveroo in some areas?)

    A great shame. In my town, they share a car park with farmfoods. It's been great shopping at farmfoods the last 10 weeks.
    Now all the corsas and litter will be back  :'(

    I miss having an egg/bacon McMuffin, hash brown, orange juice, another McMuffin, another hash brown and a regular latte.

    But overall, I'm coping well with the lockdown....  :smiley:
    I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

    I love my job

    But we are more interested in what the scam-mc-predator will do, could mean a burger and a latte will cost over £100
