McDonald’s “New Policy” Bans Customers From Buying Food For Homeless

[Moonwalk]

68. As pointed out, McD has a dollar menu, as do several other fast food places...

...and if those are the other restaurants you're talking about (fast food places) then, yes. Taco bell, Jack-in-the-Box, etc. sell meals for a dollar. And? What exactly is your point? I'm sure they also get their share of homeless customers. Because food is inexpensive, because they are numerous and easy to find and open every day of the week. Many stay open late or open way early, giving people a place to go and hang during hours when nothing else is open (like a public library or park) and saving them from being out on the street. Such fast food establishments usually have an acceptable restroom that--up till now--anyone could use.

Does all this make sense to you as to why they might get more than their share of homeless?

This is not the case with most non-fast food restaurants. First, at non-fast-food establishments, a customer has to deal with a waiter/waitress, who might not let them stay. And these places often won't let anyone but paying customers sit at their tables or use their restrooms. And few if any of these places sell anything like a burger, etc. for a dollar. Not unless it's on the kids menu.

So...exactly what was your point? That you didn't find McD's cheap? Here's their dollar menu, both regular and breakfast. Next time, buy one of these and maybe you won't find it so expensive.
