All for fast food...can't it be delivered?

[emmie]

can't understand this at all, i don't drive but im sure if i did it wouldn't be to go to a fast food outlet...

[teacake44]

Well according to McDonald's their priority is to keep their customers safe. In that case best close. :0)

Unfortunately I have a McDonalds "drive thru" (sic) near to me. It is packed from opening (6am) to closing (11pm). When the latest lockdown began they delayed opening until 11am for a few days (seemed just a token gesture because they soon revered to normal hours). The resulting chaos was phenomenal - people doing U-turns outside; others beginning to queue 30 or 40 minutes before opening; children in tears.

I cannot understand the popularity of what is essentially a very cheap and inferior product, but there it is. Having said that, what harm are they doing?

I live around 15 minutes from my nearest city but none of the food delivery services come here....having said that and much as I would love a mac, I am not going to play silly devils to get one

[emmie]

why can't many of these people as pasta says get it delivered.... unless of course they don't live in an area that does... personally i wouldn't go near the places.

[teacake44]

What harm are they doing, best ask the NHS fat clinic. :0)

Mad as a box of Frogs (I think)

13.28 Why can't they get it delivered, well its only just about warm if you fetch it, so by the time its been stuffed onto the back of a bike and driven x amount of miles, I would think its about ready for the dog.

Sounds like the traffic might have been backed up due to an earlier accident. If that hadn't occurred, the amount of KFC/McDonald eaters might have gone unnoticed.

Why in times of supposed lockdown is fast food necessary for so many people. Can they not cook at home. Or more likely can they not cook.

We were so happy when our son got past the childhoodstage of wanting to go to Macdonalds.

[emmie]

they must keep the food warm somehow?

[teacake44]

Apc Very true, a box of burgers and rolls, plus frozen chips has got to be the cheapest products you can buy in the supermarket. So it must be that they haven't a clue how to cook, or just bone idle, the latter I would think

[emmie]

there is something about pester power and children, perhaps that is what happens. who knows...

[teacake44]

emmie I've only been to McDonald's about six times, only for grand kids sake, and its cold nine times out of ten before you get it, eat in or takeaway, I'm glad to say I worked on it and got them out of the habit at a young age, by taking them to places were you got good food.

[Bobbisox1]

All kids go through the wanting a Maccie D stage, I could never understand the long queues for Ikea either, strange times

[bednobs]

i can cook .... i LIKE cooking. However, i also LIKE macdonalds, and during this lockdown making sure everyone is fed for every meal at home has become a real chore, so getting a takeaway is a treat

Even in normal times a lot of people like fast food (not that I'm one of them) however I understand why lots of people would want to do this at the moment, it's an outing and one of the very few allowed. I don't really see it as an issue as far as increasing covid goes.
