Why are they stupid?
The world is shit. Kids are scared. If a McDonald's will give them a moment of happiness I'd queue for 12 hours to give them that feeling. |

Good way to fill your days I guess, queue for tesco first thing, quick few hours waiting for the tip, kill an hour or two for mcd's before finishing off with a snake around Ikeas carpark, or line up to watch the sun go down at your local beauty spot. Queuing is the future. |

Can someone please explain , why waiting in line for McDonald’s is looked down upon in the UK?
People in the USA have to wait in line to get into any store to buy anything...,.
So why is McDonald’s any different?

"not seeing the humour in this thread. People are grabbing any bit of normality at the moment. "
It's not here for your humour... didn't realise it was normal to sit in a queue for two hours blocking roads to get a dirty burger when you can go home and cook a decent meal |

Are people not allowed to have a day off and pig out on junk food?

it think this is more of the truth than people wanting the food.. or needing to go to ikea. I hate queues. So only do so when I have to. But when kfc opened it was a 50mile round trip... an hour and a half wait but the smiles on kids faces was worth it.
2 of mine have only left the house a handful of times during lockdown due to anxiety. So it was a treat.
My lad went and got mcdonalds today. Although I didn't have anything . |

Why are people so bent out of shape about this?
If you don't like McDonald's then don't go.
But no one has the right to ridicule anyone that does.
I see #bekind didn't last long! |

"Lets be honest...McDonals is shit. All of it.
Burger King on the other hand is the food of the gods, and has smaller queues."
Is that the Irish equivalent of McDonald's that you are referring to? |

Again I think the point is subverted
No one is suggesting helping kids smile is not utterly amazing I'm behind this project 100 percent
I think it's the methods suggested
I'm disheartened that a mc i
Ds is so lusted for
Surely it should be an adventure a skill an achievement or something unbelievably tasty mum dad has made
Sub consciously helping kids to think inferior food is a treat is SERIOUSLY short changing them on real pleasure and smiles
For a start the food only has a short term high then leaving a depressed state
Erm treat ?
The whole view that mc ds is a treat is a twisted reality that need not be played out
For fucks sake seriously
Mum dads burger should ALWAYS trump a mc ds ????? |

Never understood why people crave their food, I wouldn’t go in if there was no queue lol, I only like the milkshake but not had one of them in ten years.
Shame there isn’t a mile queue at each McDonalds to pick the litter up that comes from the place  |

I wouldn't eat the rancid stuff under normal circumstances, let alone sit for hours on end queuing up just to be ripped off with some second rate crap. There was a queue at the Metro Centre McDonalds yesterday for 3 bloody hours !!!, in fact it was actually backing up onto the A1 ffs ! |

There are a few people who look down on it, fake snobbery. They'll all be going next week when the appeal has worn off a bit
We also have to queue to get in anywhere atm. |

"People make choices OP.
Because they dont match your world view is no reason to criticise the choices of others...
People are doing what they can to cope in a really difficult time."
Indeed
I dont think its so much about the food. More what it represents. Safety, comfort and 'sameness'
A feeling that everything is ok |

A lot of people have a lot of time on their hands at the moment - syanding in that queue was probably better than sitting home alone for some. |

I think this has brought out the worst of us in many ways, and we're lashing out.
Ultimately, so what if people eat McDonald's? It doesn't hurt other people. It might make them happy. Crack on with things that make you happy. |

Oh I'm so sorry you two
I thought the forums a place for conversation and debate
I articulate that a huge multi national firm designed poor quality food and chemicals with near narcotic properties and that the huge queues are demonstrating this fact
I'm quite happy to signal my virtue and consideration on what food could or should be available for consuming by children
I also signal my virtue that I dont think the humans addictefvto the concoction are stupid
I do feel the subject is good for debate how we or governments deem products or chemicals harmful drugs or innocent pleasure foods
My virtue finds the perspectives people hold as interesting
Sorry for having virtue  |

I sympathize with all of the arguments here.
But if you really want it, just wait a few days for it all to blow over and then drive right up if that's your poison (please don't overthink the last word). |

I haven't read thd whole thread I was replied to a comment that I thought was funny.
I personally couldn't give a fuck about what other people choose do do or eat.
I won't be standing in a queue for a Mc Donald's- but if that is what others choose to do why should we judge them?
I think Mc Donald's should be 'Fast ' food - standing in a mile long queue defeats the whole point surely

Each to their own, we all have choices to make in life and yes, it may not be of the highest nutritional value. However, if it brings happiness to a child that has been thrown into this situation, well so be it. Who are we to pass judgement if we don’t have all the facts. Everything in moderation...  |
