“I know other McDonalds stores in the area that actually encourage Seniors to hang around sipping their discounted coffee.”
I seriously doubt any business would want their entire seating area filled with nonpaying customers from daylight to dark.
There are always about a dozen older men in the McDonalds near my house, but there is also at least 3-4 times the seating in that place as in this one. Doesn’t seem to be an issue.
Remember that McD's coffee is lawsuit enabling HOT!
Put a butt parking meter at each seat.

The McDonalds in my area all have WiFi which would lead me to believe some want people hanging out.

Grandpa be rockin’ the iPhone, LOL
Why doesn’t he get a small cup of coffee?
And, I would play rap or something equally annoying to drive them out.
Speaking of: I was stopped at a stoplight with a friend of mine and a brand new, black Escalade filled up with some of the local yout’ pulled up beside us. They glanced over at us and turned up their rap and our car was literally shaking with the base. I rolled my window down and found a classical station on Sirius and CRANKED Pacabel. After a moment, all of their windows rolled down, they turned down their music and all I could see was teens in the back and front seat grinning with their thumbs up. We were all laughing and imaginary high fiving when we pulled away from each other. It was pretty cool.
Funny story!
I grew-up not too too far away from there.
All the signs are Chinese.
I see more English in Berlin than I did in Flushing and that was 30 years ago!
Click the A for a street view. Not real large so I can understand needing to keep the clientele moving.
Yet there seem to be no shortage of facilities that cater to the elderly in the neighborhood. Civic centers dot the blocks, featuring parlors for baduk, an Asian board game, and classes in subjects from calisthenics to English. Mr. Lee, who comes to the McDonald’s from Bayside, passes several senior centers en route. One is a Korean Community Service center in Flushing, which recently changed a room in the basement into a cafe with 25-cent coffee after its president, Kwang S. Kim, got word of the McDonald’s standoff.No one has come.
“I think I have to go to McDonald’s and ask why they’re there,” Mr. Kim said.
Our Mc D’s is right across the street from our High School. They have signs everywhere that you must buy something to enter the store, loitering will not be tolerated, and you must be eating to use the Wi-Fi.
A few years ago, the HS kids would all hang out here, buy a coke, and just loiter around on the internet in large groups.
Not anymore.
Wonder how many of these bums are here on family immigration visas and are sopping up Social Security payments they never paid for. We were inundated with these in CA.
I remember Flushing NY Queens before the Koreans took over.
Its Korea-town now.
Apparently a lot of signs are Korean these days
My neighbor, rest his soul, who used to travel to Florida for the cold half of the year, used to complain about the other seniors abusing McDonald’s senior coffees by turning their restaurants into senior center community space. He actually cared about not taking unfair advantage of their largesse.
As the other posts pointed there are places that cater to them and they go to this McD’s instead. There has got to be more to this story.
I’m retired....but once a manager asks you to leave you should get off your dead ass and leave!!!!Being old doesn’t give you any more rights than the next guy....getting benefits for being elderly are... GIVEN....not demanded!!!
