Are you allowed ot read books at McDOnalds?

Question

I was reading a book there the other day and the manager told me to get out so other people could eat there. I don't think it's fair. What do you think?

Answer 1

I think if you were eating there then that is fine but if not then that is perfectly fair.

Answer 2

You can in my city, the homeless sit in the restaurants all day at times.

Answer 3

that had nothing to do with the point you had a book in your hand.

you were just taking up space, the place is for EATING not READING, so they asked you to leave... if your doing anything other than eating they might ask you to leave; especially if they are busy.

Answer 4

If you were a customer then he had no right to ask you to leave.  But if you just wandered in there and started reading a book you should have left.

Answer 5

geeee....sorry to hear that.

Answer 6

if you didnt buy food they can kick you out

Answer 7

I would of stayed put

Answer 8

did you order anything?  If not the manager has all rights to tell you to get out.

Answer 9

Our McDonald's is more of a gathering place than get in, eat, and get out kind of place..We have lots of people that come in, eat, read books, use their laptops because we have WiFi service, and in general, they relax...some of our other stores even have gas fireplaces and big screen tv's...so I don't see what the problem was..The manager should have taken in to their head that the longer you stay, the more likely you would have ordered something else to eat or drink, or that you would have come back again which is the main goal is to give people a great experience to return to the store again...If you feel that you were treated badly, then call the operations supervisor.

Answer 10

I sit there all day long if it's relatively empty, though I always buy something first. Otherwise I head off to starbucks or somewhere else to soak up some e-books. McDonalds is more of a fast food outlet than a sit down and loiter kind of place. They are about pushing as many people as they can through the place. Starbucks and others are expensive but you only need one drink and you can sit there all day, sometimes they even hand out free food :-)

Answer 12

If you bought food, then you can read while you're eating, but if you just go there to read or bum out, then they have a right to kick you out.
