I went on my once a fortnight trip to Tescos Aberdare yesterday and had to queue outside for just a couple of minutes (compared to an hour about six weeks ago) to get in, but was surprised to see a queue of cars snaking back and forth through the Tesco's car pack. I concluded that it could only be for the McDonalds drive through which had just opened again and when I got home, this story confirmed that;-

I'm biased, because I've never understood what all the fuss was about with McDonalds, but does anyone else find that a bit sad and pathetic?
I guess as well that if you’ve had to cook for your kids every night for the last 10 weeks it’s a treat for parents as well
I appreciate parents may be tired of cooking food for their kids every day, but let's be honest, you could probably chuck a pizza in the oven for less effort and time than it takes to queue for a McDonald's. People buy into the hype and myth - making burgers is also easy, and you will get better quality beef even in the supermarkets.

I was up there yesterday for my weekly shop. I've also started doing shopping for my mother-in-law there. Tip for you, go on a Thursday afternoon, I've rarely had to queue more than a couple of minutes. I think they're letting more people in at a time as well.
Yes, the traffic for McDonald's was horrendous yesterday. I've never seen the attraction. I love their breakfasts, but their burgers are pretty poor. Much prefer a Burger King, though I've only had a few of those in the last 5 years or so.
Throughout this whole lockdown, I've avoided long queues like the plague. I've never needed something so badly that I'm prepared to stand outside for over half an hour. Sod that.
You cant fine dine every evening mun. Mcdonalds is convenient food and tastes nowhere near as bad as the b-tech Gordon Ramseys on here are implying. So what if youths, or adults for that matter, want to queue up for an hour for one. They are not bothering you are they?
Its also a place where the weekend / part-time dads can take their kids and tell the kids its a treat. A finger of fudge doesnt cut it anymore.
pre-covid I would have a 5 piece of chicken selects, fries and diet coke from MacDonalds every now and again, and enjoy it.
It is all about moderation, nothing wrong with one every now and again, it a convenient treat when you fancy one, just becomes a problem when parents are buying kids them on the way home from school every other day. doesn't mean we need to 'ban fastfood' or anything, just more education.
Agree, nothing wrong with it now and again, quick, convenient and it fills a hole for a couple of hours. I don't like their food, same with Greggs, can't eat it. Would prefer a Burger King, although expensive and gone down hill. I've always found that the Burger Kings in London are always better.
Burger king burgers are twice the size of Macs which can't be bad start. The best thing that Greggs sell is the morning bacon roll, £2.50 with a tea or coffee, great way to start a days work :)
I was a regular in the Red Onion on weekend nights and had many a slice of pizza. I was pissed most times I went there, so would have eaten anything, but, unlike when I tried a Dorothy's chicken curry and chips when I was sober, the stuff from the Red Onion was very nice and I'd often go there when I hadn't had a drink.
Spot on kids like a treat ,they love McDonald's, ice cream is nice, you see a lot of grandparents with youngsters supping on a tea while kids play on the free gaming tablets, Toilets are always clean usually a grade above most pubs , they do sell burger free options , fruit vegetable sticks ,milk and water, as long as there not inn there every day there's no real harm . I love the milk shakes
