6 drive thrus opened up here In Peterborough. Police out in force to make sure people are able to get in and out for their Big Macs without getting into brawls.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Families rushing out in their thousands for their junk food fix.
Absolute madness.

Plenty of better places to get your fix that have been open throughout. |

There are far better options out there. |

I’ll admit to going when I’m in a rush before starting work. Certainly wouldn’t queue up for hours for it though.

I quite like a Big Mac meal every now and then, probably every couple of months or if I’m in a rush. But wouldn’t queue for more than 5 mins at the drive through.

There are better options but to be fair in these circumstances, McDonalds is cheap, kids like it and they deserve a shit treat for what they are going through and you don’t have to get them out of the car. I don’t really understand the outrage in Britain of people piling in a drive thru. |

Yeah I’m not outraged in the slightest, more bemused. I think sometimes people mistake making a comment about something means you’re outraged by it. Far from it more often than not. |

I agree with maximus. This could be the first time in a good while that parents have been able to give their young kids a treat (which I think is what McDonalds is for many). Nowt wrong with that.
I use them a lot as I'm out and about at meetings a lot. I think they come in for some unfair criticism. The food's tasty. Their breakfast bagels are lush. And they knock out a pleasant enough roll for lunch time.
And most of the people there work darned hard. My ex-wife worked there in between nagging me. I've never come across anyone work harder for so little pay.

You’ll find a lot of genuine outrage on this issue on Twitter but then again Twitter isn’t a reflection of most fair minded people. |

Thank you for that nugget of information.

They're anti-union, zero contract happy and help deliver significant negative impacts on the environment. I'm not saying people should boycott them but if they come in for criticism, some of it is quite legitimate. |

It should see an increase in litter, if there's one piece of litter in a road it's usually from McDonald's.
