“charged an extra fee to dine in”

What? I don’t believe it. Are you in a high-density city, like NY or SF?

I’ve never heard such a thing for any fast food place, and I’ve been around a bit.

BTW, if you want GREAT service of all stripes in fast food, you must go to Chick-Fil-A. Not to mention the food is heavenly.

That does sound weird. What would stop someone from placing an order to go, then “deciding” to eat in instead?

There is a McDonalds near me that has 2 parking spaces reserved for window service customers. I guess a lot of people like eating in their cars.

Needless to say these spaces have always got an empty car parked in them since they are so close to the door.

I find this quite funny——and ridiculous.

“What? I don’t believe it. Are you in a high-density city, like NY or SF?”

The examples I used were in a communities ranging from 6,000 to 20,0000 population in the Midwest and on the Pacific Coast. We’ve also seen the charge at various McDonalds all around the United States. For one of many online sources see:

Friends of ours were also very dubious. You should have seen the look on their faces and the change in their tone when we suggested they pull out some of their old purchase receipts and look at ALL of the charges listed on them.
