The SWAT teams McD's is going to need to hire to police the place (the local cops obviously are incapable) are going to want more than minimum wage to do the job. The added personal injury and liability insurance costs will be high, too.

Unless they can charge and get $35 for a Big Mac, the owners better put up a FOR SALE sign and sell out to some medical marijuana joint (sic).

San Fransicko doesn't mind drugs being sold from those places in town because they can collect the taxes.

You can be sure that the city will look askance at any effort by McDonald's to provide their own security, and that McDonald's would open itself up to all sorts of potential lawsuits if it did so and there were physical confrontations between their private security people and customers or loiterers.

The city is acting like a bully and putting McDonald's in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't position
